Alternative Nibs For Ohto Dude Nibs? / Fpr #5 & #5.5 Nibs Thickness

[Tenkai]

Hi guys,

 

I was wondering, does anyone knows where could I get an alternative nib for Ohto Dude?

 

I tried FPR's flex and normal #5.5 nibs but it didn't fit well (seems like the nib is too thick).

 

EDIT: I was also wondering if anyone knows if a FPR #5 nib is thinner than an FPR #5.5 nib?

It may be like some companies and uses a proprietary nib shape/size, so you might not be able to just fit a Jowo shape #5/etc into it. (Much like how how you can't stick a Jowo shaped nib into a Bock-shaped feed/section, or proprietary fittings).

 

Also I'm not seeing anything specific pop up in searches to possible nibs that could fit the Ohto other than their own.

The FPR #5.5 nib kinda fits except that the thickness of the nib is slightly too thick =\

It says size 7 on my feed though, does it say 4 on yours?

The # on the feed means nothing, if you get enough of them they'll say different numbers, it has no relations to the nib size.

That's screwy.

I'm looking at macro pics it's too big for a number 5 nib... do you have a faber-castell Emotion, Ambition. Loom or basic try that one

if it fits then that just says my belief its a small nib number 4 if it is then Muji compact or the full pen will fit or unless you can find ways to procure a schmidt nib

Okay then. =)

 

The FC nib fits Muji full pen actually.

 

Haven't tried FPR on the Muji pen as I gave it away.

 

Schmidt probably I'll try indypendance I guess. I thought of the substitution as the feed reminds me of some jinhaos feed with that groove, figured the manufacturer must be the same, so perhaps if the #6 nib fit the Jinhao, the #5 should work I guess.

Levenger uses Schmidt nibs in the True Writer pens. I believe it is a #5 though. (i compared it to the #6 I bought from Goulet and it is smaller)

Will have a look. Thanks!

Could someone explain me how to remove the nib on this pen? I damaged the feed when trying to do so and the feed and nib are still stuck...
