About Left Handed Fountain Pens:

Fountain pens work differently to ballpoint and rollerball pens- they are made to lay a trail of ink across the page when the hand pulls the nib across the page. Where a right hander pulls the nib across the paper, left handed writers drag or push the pen as their hand moves across the paper. Dragging or pushing the nib makes the nib skip causing mal-formed letters. Dragging and pushing the nib can also block the tip of the nib with tiny paper fibers from scratching the nib into the paper itself. So, not only must the nib be a bit more rugged than normal but it also needs to be designed to allow the ink to flow smoothly when the nib is dragged or pushed across the paper.

LAMY make special left handed nibs, often referred to as oblique nibs, that are specifically designed for left hand use. The oblique offset allows the nib to be pushed or dragged across the paper without digging in like normal nibs do.
