Nibs Bb And 'bbb

[Inky.Fingers]

Any Chinese nibs that are large and with tipping of size BB or BBB sized nib?

[OCArt]

I wish there were but I haven't found any. I'm also a fan of bold lines and often replaced the nibs on my Chinese pens. Luckily most are size 6 or 5-- a size easily found.

I hope to hear differently from others!

Me neither; I usually find everything in medium. I tend to get replacements from Beaufort Ink (I'm a fan of titanium nibs, and they're the only ones I've found selling titanium Bock nibs so far), and, as OCArt said, a 5 or 6 fits most pens, depending on the pen.

The closest you will find on any Chinese pen seems to be the 'Fude' nib. This is a Chinese calligraphy nib intended to simulate the effects of writing with a brush. I have tried one (reviewed it here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/206771-kaigelu-300-calligraphy-pen/ ) and think most people would get pretty tired of it in fairly short order.

 

Hope that helps a little.

Well they do have stub nibs ... 1.1, 1.5, and 1.9 ... which are quite smooth....

Hero 5028 is an example...

Having specified the model number, it did come up on an E-Bay search. I have never seen the Hero calligraphy set before. Thanks

For some reasons, I prefer a tipped pen. it is a mind thing.. riding a bicycle with rubber underneath, instead of the aluminum rim.

 

However, between steel and tipped, it might feel just the same, however the mind plays trick on you.

 

 

I need to source some fountain pen tipping material to do experiment with tipping to BB
