I love the cheap minimal design of the Noodler's Nib creeper, but I can not deal with the flex nib. Has anyone successfully adapted a Nib creeper to use a non flex nib, or does anyone know the size of the Nib creepers nib?

You might be able to find a non-flex vintage nib for it. Tardif said the nib size is "#2." I guess #2 was a common nib size back in the heyday of ringtop pens.

Cerbervs,

 

Sorry for coming in late.

 

This pen was first released as the piston filler pen and fitted with a non-flex nib, also branded as a Noodler's. The closest equivalence I have found to match this is the "Serwex #4" sold by Kevin Thiemann's Fountain Pen Revolution, the steel one marked "Serwex Super Tipped Fine". It fits perfectly and writes very well, and can be realistically considered as the standard non-flex nib for this pen. The gilt Chelpark nib for the Maverick is of course the "official" one but I found this nib to be somewhat fragile, and not easy to obtain.

No, I am not going to list my pens here.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
