Your Prefered Pilot Custom Nib? Wa Vs M Nib?


Garageboy

Recommended Posts

What is your preferred nib when it comes to Pilot Custom pens? Also, to me, the WA nib doesn't write any differently than a M nib- am I using it wrong?

 

Thanks

My current favorites are the Custom 742 with a Soft Medium nib, the Custom 74 with the Medium nib, and the Decimo with the Medium nib.

They all work perfectly for me, regardless of which pen I use.

Of the four I have, the FA and Su are my favorites,the PO is my least favorite, the WA is nice, but used less than the more expressive FA and SU. I would place the WA in the medium fine range, not nearly as wide as a Vanishing Point medium nib.

Thanks for this, Dan F. and the OP. I have been considering a # 10 in SM or WA.

      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

      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
