I was looking to buy eleven number five loose nibs. Does anybody have a list of all the people who sell such nibs? Also, is there any way to get #5 JOWO nibs without the feed?

 

 

Thanks,

Phillieskjk

1. I have bought #5 Jowo nibs from FPnibs, Spain, they can actually customize their nibs and engrave them. The nibs come with the nib unit and it is very easy to separate them apart with a fat rubber band.

2. Similarly Beaufort ink, UK sells #5 Bock nib units from EF to 1.5 italics, made from stainless steel to gold to titanium.

3. For simple inexpensive #5 M nibs without the feed, I buy them $1/ea from laoman ebay store.

Where can we buy the No 6 Nibs JoWO/ Bock ?

Just now I have ordered some Nibs from Schmidt. Anyone knows if this is a good brand? They look very neat and clean. so I have ordered a couple of them.

The nibs are sold in units . Hope I can remove them to use on some pens I am planning to upgrade.

Fountain Pen Revolution (FPR) has #5, #5.5, and #6 steel nibs with various tip sizes and finishes. Some are even "Flex" nibs. There are various sized Ebonite (hard rubber) feeds to go with them as well. Link is below. Email Kevin with questions.

Goulet Pens sells loose Bock #6 Stainless-Steel nibs with different tip-sizes and finishes. They go for $15 each or $80 for a set of six ($13.33 ea.) regardless of tip size or finish. See the link below:

This is great information, I was about to buy from FPnibs, and still may, but it's nice to know there are other options out there as well. Thank you!

Actually, aren't Goulet's nibs JoWos?

 

Yes, I made a mistake. They are Jowo, not Bock. Thanks for the correction.

      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
