How Are Fountain Pens Left-Handed

When using a fountain pen, a lot of left-handers get into awkward writing positions and smudge their work because they are trying to make a standard ink pen work. These are, of course, designed for right-handers to PULL across the page from left to right with the nib being dragged behind and writing smoothly. When a left-hander tries to PUSH across the page, the nib just digs into the paper and you get no ink flow. Contorting the writing position to make it work just leads to smudging and bad writing.

 
The solution is to use a specially designed fountain pen with a left-handed nib. This nib is rounded at the end for ink to flow smoothly when pushed. The centre cut on the nib is moved to the other side so that you get smooth ink flow with the left side of the nib pressed to the paper rather than the right.
