Wahl Eversharp Doric Oversize Burma
Wahl Eversharp Doric Oversize Burma
A classic in softly mottled dark gray, the new Wahl Eversharp Doric Oversize Burma will be a favorite for many. Each pen is equipped with a 14k solid gold nib in Medium, and we can also provide regrinds to finer tipping sizes.
Our complimentary nib tuning adjusts optimum pressure and ink flow to your own personal preferences. Doric 14k solid gold nibs also provide an excellent starting point for many of our exclusive nib customizations, including such popular modifications as Flex, Cursive Italic, and Architects Point.
Made available exclusively here at Nibs.com and also directly through our friends at The Pen Family, the new Wahl Eversharp Doric Oversize series revives this classic twelve-sided art deco design from the golden age of fountain pens. The unique compressor filling system provides for a generous ink capacity, and a special tool is included to hold the pen while filling.
The cap and barrel are made of hand-crafted cellulose acetate in the classic Doric colors, and the roller clip and cap band also recreate the classic Doric design. Each pen ships in a special presentation box, adding to its value and collectability. We are an authorized Wahl Eversharp dealer.

Customization Guide
Stub
|
Above is the same size nib after a regrind to Stub. A regrind to Stub is often a good place to start for your first customization. A Stub nib provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes while writing, and is less position-sensitive on the paper than the crisper and slightly more demanding cursive italic.
|
Cursive Italic
|
More demanding, but also providing crisper edges and more line-width variation, is the very popular customization to Cursive Italic. This also provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, but is also more position-sensitive in terms of how the pen is held and requires more skill on the part of the user. This is a common customization for artists and calligraphers, but is still smooth enough to make for a good everyday writer.
|
Formal Italic
 |
Formal Italic is an even crisper and more demanding customization than either cursive italic or left oblique, and is usually utilized for calligraphy and by the most experienced users. This provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, with even crisper corners and edges than a cursive italic - this is an extremely position-sensitive customization.
|
Left Oblique
 |
Commonly used for signatures and correspondence, the Left Oblique customization provides broad diagonal strokes and narrow cross-strokes, and like a cursive italic, is more position-sensitive and demanding than a stub. The whole pen must be rotated to the left in order to write smoothly, without skipping. The "Left" in Left Oblique refers to the cut of the nib itself, and does not refer to the handedness of the writer. |
Architect's Point (Also for Arabic and Hebraic writing)
 |
A more exotic regrind is that to Architect’s Point. Named after the style of writing used by Frank Lloyd Wright, this regrind is the opposite of cursive italic, and provides for broad cross-strokes and narrow down-strokes. This also tends to be a particularly useful customization for those practicing Arabic or Hebraic calligraphy. |
Spencerian
 |
Perhaps our most popular customization, but also one of the most advanced, the Mottishaw Spencerian Customization has gained special attention from being featured in a customer's YouTube video which has now received over twelve million views! The Spencerian starts from a semi-soft 14k nib and adds additional flex and a regrind to needlepoint to create a specialized writing point used for copperplate calligraphy.
