There's an idea germinating here - "ruggedised" fountain pens. Think of
the pen equivalent of sports watches. I wonder if you can make a nib out
of tungsten carbide.

How flexible is the nib? :-) That's my biggest complaint on a lot of
modern pens. They don't have a soft or springy enough give to make
writing nice. They all feel like writing with chisels, or at least, most
do.
