Best of luck to you, hope the titanium nibs do well for you.

 

Enjoy, and Welcome to FPN! :W2FPN:

Yours,

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

Are you having the Ranga 4c made to accept Bock threaded units, or are you just installing the nib in an eyedropper model w original feed? We've swapped the nib out of JoWo assemblies and installed Sheaffer Balance 2 nibs, but we've found that only certain nibs are the right thickness for the threaded units.

What do you love about a titanium nib?

Kent

They are softish with a feeling like softer 14k and 18k nibs yet in a way many on FPN have had difficulty describing. The feel IS different than gold yet quite pleasing. I have one from Stipula and one from Delta, and I enjoy them both very much even though I have more than enough gold nibs to satisfy me.

I hope you'll like the nib when it arrives. I bought the same one and installed it a few days ago in a Gama Hawk. The matte grey metal looks much better with the brushed ebonite pen than did the gold-washed steel of the nib that came in the pen. As you can see in a clip of the photo that you posted, it doesn't have a big ball of tipping like most modern nibs:

In that respect, it's more like a vintage nib. It also seems to have been finished with a great deal of care -- the tipping is clean, symmetrical and very smooth, both in the normal orientation and inverted. No baby's bottom, sharp spots or other problems.

 

The nib proper has good, even ink flow after opening the tines slightly -- they were pinched a little too tightly as delivered. And it is moderately flexible, although I haven't used it long enough to try to qualify how the flex might be different from that of a gold nib.

 

Incidentally, I didn't use the whole 250 point unit, I just pulled the nib and put it into the pen's section. The Bock feed was too small in diameter; I used a Sheaffer NoNonsense feed, which works very well after heat-setting it to the nib.

And it is moderately flexible...

 

 

After some use, I'll amend that to "springy". It goes from fine to perhaps medium without undue pressure.

      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
