A thousand apologies for posting this if it's already been discussed before.

 

I just got the Starry Night Van Gough with a fine point nib. Tried a variety of inks and its just too dang wet for my tastes. I'd like to "tighten up the tines" and try to adjust the nib a bit, but can't seem to get it out of the pen.

 

This particular model (I understand there are more than one) has the feeder/nib that unscrews from the barrel, but once removed, there is no obvious way to get the nib/feeder out of the tube that I just unscrewed from the barrel. (including picture of the nib/feeder/tube assembly that I'd like to further break down)

 

Anyone know how to disassemble this part of the pen? I'd also love to hear suggestions on other ways to "dry out" this pen a bit.

 

Was thinking of using a combination of the "TWSBI Method" and the SBREBrown's video method for reducing the ink flow.

 

Any other suggestion out there?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

      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
