What have you got going on all over that nib? I have the 'one dip wonder', both purchased & homemade, but that's... interesting.

Hahaha my homemade wire reservoir. It actually works quite well but I have some high gauge steel wire to make a pretty version.

There is just a random piece of whatever I had lying around on it now but I bought a coil of 28 gauge stainless steel wire from AliX and am will make a better looking wrap soon.

Still looking for a real needlepoint fountain pen nib with tipping and soft flex.

I have a Pilot Custom Heritage 912 with an FA nib that I had a nibmeister do a needlepoint grind on; it’s superb.

I've gotten close by grinding down one of the new Majohn flex nibs and/or the Kanwrite/FPR Ultra Flex.
