The Nib Creaper (also known as the "Standard Flex Pen") was the first fountain pen produced by Noodler's, introduced in 2010, and is Noodler's smallest and slimmest fountain pen. It features a steel flexible #2 nib and a twist piston mechanism. A small ink window shows how much ink is left in your pen. These pens are made from a celluloid derivative.

The Noodler’s flex pens were designed for the hands-on tinkerer - they are made to be taken apart and adjusted. The nib and feed pull right out and can be adjusted for optimal performance. Don’t be afraid to get a little ink on your fingers while you learn how to use this pen.

As a simple rule of thumb for writing with a flex pen, just apply slight pressure on your downstrokes, which will spread the tines and increase the line width, achieving that optimal line variation. Make sure to go slowly so that the ink can keep up with your writing. As with any flex pen, it just takes practice!

We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, expect some variation in the pattern from what you see here. But hey, that just makes each pen unique!

Due to the residual machining oils used when cutting the feeds for these pens, we highly encourage you to give the pen a good flush before use. We recommend any of the following options: distilled water, water with a touch of dish soap, a pre-packaged pen flush, or a solution of 10% clear ammonia to water. This should resolve most ink flow issues!

Fabulous February 1, 2013
Reviewer: Yvonne Kirk from Picton, nsw Australia  
After my disappointment at the Ahabs, I nearly gave this away without trialling it. So glad I did. This is a much better pen. (For me) its thinner and lighter and the nib flexes without superman effort. The nib seems smoother than the other pen too. Very happy

Attractive, cheap and functional August 8, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Newcastle under Lyme, Staffordshire United Kingdom  
A very good pen for the money. Looks nice, has a nib with a surprising degree of flex, and holds quite a bit of ink for such a skinny pen. All the boxes are firmly ticked.

This pen is an authentic masterpiece. I like how easily this pen fills and that is because of the design and the great video instructions on this site. Thanks!

Flex nib pen- bumble bee December 19, 2011
Reviewer: Charles Lindberg from Marengo, IL United States  
Color was exactly as expected,  also the nib and filler.  But pen seemed cheap plastic.  No bargain but fairly priced.
