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!

darkness light September 21, 2012
Reviewer: Florian Jaeger from Beijing, Beijing China  
This pen is of much more red and less black than its big brother, the Ahab CD. It is much smaller, too. However, I like its classic, elegant design, the fact that I don't need to protect it with my life, and that it writes readily and flexibly. I like the thread: Few revolutions for a great effect. I even like the fill system, easy to use and reliable (and admittedly my first piston fill w/ twist mechanism). So up to now, it is only the need to post the cap for comfy writing that is a tad inconvenient. Last not least: The nib, smaller than the Ahab, is also a little more flexible and gives you some flexy feel even at light pressure. It is not a superflex or even wet noodle, though, but then again, we are talking everyday convenient writing with the special touch. So, pretty thank you with sugar on top for that pen!

Big Disappointment May 24, 2012
Reviewer: Nancy Hartzog from Alabama  
Do not like this pen at all. Since I love Noodler's ink, thought I would try one of Nathan's pens. I tried all of Brian's suggestions; adjusted the nib and feed, cleaned the pen and still it doesn't want to play right. The pen skips, ink does not flow freely and whatever I am able to write looks like horrible scratch. Yes, it is a very inexpensive pen but the preppy which is even a whole lot less expensive writes like a MB, never dries up or skips and puts down a nice wet flow no matter how long it sets without use. So, cost is not everything. I would not recommend this pen and don't think I will ever order another Noodler pen.

red swirls! April 12, 2012
Reviewer: Michel de Montréal from Montreal, QC Canada  
Weeeee, it's a really nice pen, small, light and great... After using the Ahab though, it feels a bit small.

But if you want the larger option well that's why the Ahab is around... it's nice pen, and great when you look at the price value
