Pif - Rubber Grips For Removing Nibs/feeds


Honeybadgers

Recommended Posts

I've got a few old motorcycle tubes after changing the tires on my honda 400. They make fantastic nib grips, and I can probably make a couple hundred from the tubes I have

 

They're just little pieces of rubber, about 2.5 x 4.5 inches (goulet's are 1x3, I like this size because you can cut it in half and carefully use them in a pair of slipjoint pliers for really stubborn nibs, and still have one for yourself. or cut it in half and give one to a friend.) 1.5mm thick. Super grippy. Great for removing stubborn nibs/feeds without damaging them.

 

$3 shipped (I can send one or two for this price, please be mindful of others when you want two) You're just paying for my stamps and envelopes. They're hand cut, so if you want a specific size and it'll fit in a standard envelope, PM me with what you want.

 

Limit 10 per person, if you want more than two of the standard size (or want one bigger than will fit in a single envelope,) I'll need $5 so I can fit them all in a small padded mailer.

 

Also willing to trade for ink samples or other stuff you may have, just send me a PM.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

      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
