Pilot Custom 743 Fine Nib?


steelblue

Recommended Posts

Hoping for some clarity..Is the fine nib on the Custom 743 the same as on the Custom 823? I have the 823 fine and love it, want to avoid the flex or softer fines but am unclear on this. Also would like to consider the Custom 912 with fine.

Here you can see the different gold nibs that pilot uses across their custom and custom heritage lines including 912, 743, 823, etc., the nib sizes and nib line widths and even the dimensions of each pen.

Here you can see the measurements of the line widths for each nib from Extra Fine to BB to Stub to their music nib, etc.

Very helpful, thank you so much.

That's exactly the site (top link) I was looking at but I just wanted to verify before buying.

I had not seen the nib reference - exactly what I needed.

      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

      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
