I don't really like Schmidt nibs that much and haven't used JoWo.

Is there any other nib choice he offers? Any 14k gold nib? Or maybe pilot? I like pilot nibs a lot, more than the Nakaya nib.

 

Edit: Also, that's a really good looking pen. Congrats on your new acquisition.

I believe pilot nibs are not sold loose. Besides, he will also require the feed.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Here are the links to get pilot nibs:

 

LINK 1 - Custom 912 Nibs

LINK 2 - Falcon Nibs

He offers #5 and #6 Jowo nibs also. I think he would also have gold nibs from Jowo

Dhruv - I believe Schmidt does not manufacture its nibs. They are sourced from JoWo or Bock and they assemble the nib unit. You can get a Bock gold/Titanium nib unit as per your choice of size+feed from some of the online sellers. edison, beaufortink (a google search will land up a few).

 

Since Bock also supplies nibs for GvFC, Delta, Visconti , Pelikan (now it's insourced).. I believe these nibs might be to your liking.

I contacted him a month or two ago and he said that he uses Schmidt nibs in his pens, JoWo nibs can also be used but would cost extra, which i don't mind.

 

Thanks for other suggestions.

To each his own, I guess. The stepdown isn't as bad as it looks. Fosfor has other designs which might fancy you

I like the design of the Bangalore a lot more. I also like the resins more in the brighter colors.

      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
