Kaweco Ice Sport Eyedroppers For Highlighting

Recommended Posts

Amazing - we're going to need shades to keep viewing this thread!

 

I'm curious how the feed/nib arrangement works and fits together on that custom nib?

Here are some pics of the Kaweco Sport highlighter nib that Nathan Tardiff created a number of years ago. The nib is 6.5mm wide; the O-rings you see in the third picture help seal the barrel for use as an ED filler. He took these pictures for me before he sent the pen; using Noodler's highlighter ink (of course!):

I use a BB nib with Noodler's Firefly ink. I refill a cartridge with a syringe and it makes a good little highlighter. Its not as broad a nib as shown in previous posts but I find the gold tone nibs work more consistantly than the silver italic nibs.

please can someone post a photo showing the oring disposition in the kaweco eydropper from nathan tardiff?

 

Hi, there are two O-rings at the base of the section, as can be seen in the photo. These keep the ink from migrating from the barrel toward the section threads, and are supplemented by silicone grease. There is a third O-ring that can't easily be seen - it is at the top of the feed, just inside the section, and this prevents ink from migrating from the section to the joint where the feed is inserted into the section. I have added a little silicone grease here, as well. I hope that answers your question. :)

I've had my red Ice Sport filled with Diamine Red Dragon for almost a year. No staining in the transparent barrel that I can see,

      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
