Because it is an iron gall ink and slightly acidic. One can use them in steel nibs with some caution, though – if one flushes the pen regularly to avoid corrosion.

Thanks for the review. Could you explain why the ink should not be used in steel nibbed pens?

It’s nice to see such a large writing sample for an ink in a review. I’m lucky if I write five words before I get bored doing such. Also, I like seeing an evaluation for a down-to-earth ink instead of one of the many super crazy colorful ones. I like those too, mind you, but people often ignore inks that you might need to use for everyday work since they are perceived as a bit boring. :D for the review.
