Hmmm - tools of the trade eh ?
One of my hobbies is Calligraphy. Now when you are scribing, you have a very wide choice of implements, some you have to make yourself (quills for e.g - you cut your own, or bamboo) so does that make something created with one of those pens somehow "better" than one created with a premade metal nib ? Should I look down on people who use metal nibs exclusively because they haven't hammered it out of sheet, shaped and gilded it ?
