Lamy 2000 18K Vs. 14K

[gsduarte]

Hello all,

 

I'm thinking about buying a replacement nib for my Lamy 2000, and found a seller who has a 18k nib. Given the added spring of a 18k I thought this would be wonderful, but since the 18k was only used in the old Lamy 2000 model, I don't know if the old nib unit will fit the new body.

 

Does anybody have any experience in this matter?

 

Thanks!

yeah, if it is indeed a lamy2000 nib, it will fit any lamy 2000 body. HTH.

I love Lamy 2000 18k gold nibs, they do have a quality you will not fond with the 14k gold nibs. Hard to describe, but they are not more flexible. If anything, I find them harder and softer than the 14k gold. They also tend to be stubish, and this is true for the B as well as for the F ones. I personnaly have come to love the Lamy 2000 18k gold nibs to the point I sold every 14k gold nibs I had.

You could give a try to steel compatible nibs, they are awesome, with a more forgiving sweet spot I would say. I am using a medium one with my Lamy 2000 steel as my daily, heavy work writer.
