Does anyone know of a UK source for a fude type dip pen nib?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Having browsed through many offerings of dip pen nibs, I have yet to come across Fude dip pen nib.

 

I've been using an inexpensive Sailor DE which has a Fude nib, so conversion of that nib [+feed] to dip pen use might be a vector of pursuit. Also consider the Chinese pens with Fude nibs for conversion and/or parts.

 

I look forward to other Members' findings and suggestions. :)

Many of the #5 and #6 FP nibs will fit into dip pen holders like the Tachikawa.

 

I would simply buy a cheap (~$5) Chinese fountain pen with a fude nib (Duke and Leonardo both have models) and fit the nib to a dip pen holder.

Get an oblique dip pen holder with a brass flange.

The flange can be bent to give you the same effect as a fude nib, where the tip of the nib is at a shallower angle to the paper than the shaft of the holder.

Just been up the Amazon(my husband of blessed memory used to call me "The Amazon Queen" because I get so much from them....agoraphobia means I need to rely on deliveries. A sweet memory. And I know that Amazon aren't to everyone's liking, but Im not getting into that here....just having a blether about pens and such)and saw this, which looks interesting....what do you think?

      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
