Kaweco Ice Sport Nibs


Inkysloth

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I have a Kaweco Ice Sport with a medium nib. I find this far too broad for my tastes, so wanted to order an extra fine. I've found an excellent price online at Tiger Pens - £7.99 for the nib & section but it states it fits:

 

Kaweco AL Sport
Kaweco AC Sport
Kaweco Art Sport
Kaweco Sport Luxe
Kaweco Lilliput
Kaweco Student

 

and not the Ice Sport or Classic.

 

Is this simply because they have transparent sections, and this replacement is black? Or is there a size difference?

 

I was thinking of just taking the nib itself from the section and swapping that over, which means the colour difference ceases to be an issue, but are the nibs themselves the same dimensions?

Best wishes & thanks in advance

The Sport models should all use the same size section and nib.

 

Thanks Uncle Red!

 

I did think that should be the case, but I didn't want to shell out for something that wouldn't work. I shall now order fearlessly!

Best wishes

The Classic Sport & Ice Sport nib units are sold as a complete section, the other pens use a screw in nib and feed assembly, like Pelikans, the nibs themselves may work but if you bought a nib assembly for the Al Sport et al you would have to disassemble that first in order to use it.

As long as I can get the nib itself out of the section & feed, I'm happy to do that. I wish you could just buy the nib alone!

Nib in the Ice sport is friction fit, so you should be able to get it out.

Buying a nib for the Ice sport will give you an extra section, just in case you need it or want to do a quick change, Pricing for the Ice sport nib+section is very close to that of the nib + feed for the AL sport etc

Hi all,

 

I have a Kaweco Ice Sport with a medium nib. I find this far too broad for my tastes, so wanted to order an extra fine. ...

You can buy replacement nib units specifically for the Classic/Ice from Cult Pens in the UK for just a few pence more than the items you have been considering.

Kind regards

The nib was delivered yesterday, but I'll note that Ice Sport sections are available. Also, though it's only a price difference of £2.00, that's a whole extra pack of cartridges I could buy!

I have the fine, and it's too broad, I have given up on this pen until my local supplier gets the extra fines in :(

thanks for this thread. Frank vK, any advice on how to get out the ice sport nib/section? i want to get a BB nib that jetpens says works for the ice sport and lilliput and try it in my ice.

 

(and maybe in my new lilliput, which i LOVE but which didn't com in BB. would have tried the B but that was sold out. i can't get over how great kawecos are - they kind of leave my other pens in the dust.)

Montblanc... meisterstuck 146 from the early 80s. A gift from a friend who got many pens for his Bar Mitzvah.

 

Conklin parts, in a ziplock.

 

1990s Shaeffers - one slender matte mauve, one marbled shiny blue, both lovely to write with. Love those nibs.

 

Stypen. Smoother flow now that I've flushed it.

 

"Treasure" combined pen and pencil. Old, tiny, works.

The nib & feed should pull out from the section with a gentle wiggle & firm steady pull. It's not screwed in, just held by friction.

      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
