Can anyone who owns the left-handed version tell me if the "specially designed nib" works for overwriters? (Also sometimes referred to as hookers!)

mamamiauThe left handed nibs were designed to allow ink to flow in a "pushing the nib across the paper" as opposed to the "pulling" action a righty would do. I'm a lefty but not an overwriter, if I understand your meaning. My left hand sits below the writing line as I write. I hope this helps and would like to hear from other lefties who have used this or another Schneider Left handed fountain pen nib.

kkbertramThanks! I suspect the nib is meant for under-writers, like you. You push on an upstroke and on a horizontal (left to right) and pull on a downstroke, correct? I pull on an upstroke and push on a downstroke, just because I am holding the pen with the nib pointed more or less toward me! I probably won't know for sure unless I join the drop and try the pen. I have set a reminder so I can think about it.
