Looking For Replacement Nib For Franklin Covey Fountain Pan


Dehumbertman

Recommended Posts

I just picked up a Franklin Covey fountain pen for $20 at staples. It writes well and smooth and I'm overall very happy with it. However I would like to put a fine or extra fine nib on it. I have found a bunch of sites offering replacement nibs, but I don't know if it uses a #5, #6, mini, etc.

 

I really would like to keep using this one mainly for the body. It has the perfect weight and girth for my hand and I overall prefer the feel of it compared to my others. This is why I'm just trying to replace the nib for a finer line.

 

Any info and help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for posting the picture. Mine does not look like that.. But the nib looks like a #5.. Smaller than the twsbi / edison nibs which are #6..

Thanks! I think ill order a cheapo #5 just to see if it fits and feeds correctly and then go from there.

UPDATE

I ordered some #5.5 chrome extra fine nibs from Fountainpenrevolution.com, and they will fit and work quite well. I payed $10 (after shipping) for a pack of 3 but was also given a fourth two-tone iridium tipped nib as well. The site says shipping would take 20 days but i recieved them in 8. Highly recommend if looking for a low cost replacement nib for this low cost pen. Which in my opinion, originally had a broad posing as a medium nib.

      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
