And very forgiving. I dragged out a Pelikan I hadn't used in a couple years and found it was half-full of ink, dried ink all over the nib.

Gave it a quick wipe, worked perfectly.

Amazing. I'd expect it to be clogged. Nothing a thorough rinse cannot fix, but just a quick wipe? What ink was in it?
Yeah, I couldn't believe it :) The ink's Waterman South Sea Blue.
