Pilot Vp Ef Nib Vs Pilot Penmanship Ef Nib

[JoeB]

Hi all,

 

I wonder if one of the nibs is thinner than the other.

 

I have VP with fine nib and Penmanship with extra fine nib. It seems the fine nib of VP is little a bit thicker than the extra fine nib of Penmanship. I like the nib size of extra fine in Penmanship and the retractable mechanism of VP. Thus, I am thinking to purchase extra fine nib for my VP, but I’m not sure if the nib size of VP ef is thinner, thicker, or same compared to the nib size of Penmanship ef.

 

If anyone has both pens with ef nibs or experiences with these nibs, please give me some feedback.

 

Thanks in advance.

I have a VP with a fine nib currently, and an extra-fine nib on its way to me. When I get it, if you still don't have a good answer, I'll do some writing samples and post them here for you.

The EF on both the Penmanship and VP are very similar, though the VP is a little wetter in my experience. If you like X size of Pilot's steel nibs, I think you're safe to order that same size in Pilot's gold nibs.

Thanks for the reply.

Have you gotten an extra-fine nib yet? If you have, how it differs from a fine nib?

Thanks! I will probably order ex nib soon.

I have a Penmanship EF currently, and a VP EF nib unit on the way. If no one else shares photos before me, you can expect some comparisons from my end as well. ^_^ I expect I'll get the VP EF nib in 2 - 3 days.
