Weird Kaweco Nib

[j.a.j.]

Hello,

 

i'm slightly perplexed by the Kaweco Al Sport EF nib i recently got. It's extremely asymmetrical and has practically no tipping on the other tine.

 

Am i safe to assume that it is faulty? Or should i be able to get it to write smoothly – which it definitely does not do at the moment.

not sure bit it seems this one hes been off center while cutting the slit. I don't expect that you will ever be able to get this to write smooth and consistent as Bocks are supposed to be.

This nib point is not "weird", it is just unacceptable. Please return it if still possible.

 

I buy those steel Kaweco nibs from La Couronne du Comte, they carry the full array, both in polished steel and in the golden version, and worry about quality control. Mr van de Graaf is most kind, helpful and useful. No affiliation nor personal interest.

 

If you wish to upgrade your Al-Sport to a #5 solid gold nib pen, then you may be willing to see this. You can use English without any problem. Again the usual disclaimer from a completely satisfied customer.

 

Anyway, do not keep that piece of junk! Just looking at it hurts my eyes.

Thank you for the information, seems that i need to contact the seller. Happy that i bought it from reputable seller so i do not foresee any problems.

 

Plumista, thank you for the tip! I will certainly consider that in the future.

Send it back, the nib is faulty.

That didn't take long, a new nib is on it's way today from the Netherlands.
