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!

Let if flow January 2, 2013
Reviewer: Andrew H. from Redding, CA United States  
I picked this up with the favorable reviews on this site. Really eager to try out a "real" flex pen I filled it right away and went to town.
To my surprise, it did not act like I expected of a flex. Maybe it was the fantasy that it would perform like an Italic, that is, without requiring much pressure on my part.
Well all it did when pressure was applied was to gush ink. It did not even take that much effort
to make it bleed though on my Dot Pad.
I think one mistake I made was to use Noodlers
Bay State Blue as my ink of choice. It could be
that this is a wet ink in this pen.
Not to give up I tried a Waterman Inspired Blue.
Made a world of difference as far as flow.
It still does not react like an Italic, but the flex is
there, albeit, with more pressure than I am use to using.
Glad it was an cheap as it was. Do like the color.

Only the price is cheap December 20, 2012
Reviewer: Donna Poen from San Jose, CA United States  
I saw the video about this pen, and thought I'd try one as a cheap daily writer.  I was pleasantly surprised to find such a well-built, reliable and comfortable pen.  I cleaned my new pen with pen flush and water, then inked her with Diamine Ancient Copper.  She's going into rotation next to my Sailor and Waterman pens.
