Has Anyone Ordered A Cursive Italic Jowo Nib From Psp For Their Ranga Pen?

If you have, would you please care to share your thoughts on it? I am considering the medium cursive italic with a Zayante pen.

 

Thank you!

I have.

 

You have two options for getting a cursive italic JoWo nib from PSP. You can get a stock JoWo 1.1 mm stub, which is very good. You can get one of PSP's custom-ground JoWo cursive italic nibs. Now, I have one of the latter. Frankly, I don't use it. It is not as good as the stock JoWo stub, the Masuyama-ground JoWo nibs you can get on Franklin-Christoph pens or the CI ground JoWo nibs from fpnibs.com in Spain. The latter is without a doubt the best bang for the buck.

 

Now, the PSP CI nib I have is a couple years old, and was from when their nib technician was still learning. He probably has improved with experience.

 

The Zayante pen, on the other hand, I would recommend without reservation. I find the Ranga pens an amazing value, and the Zayante has almost perfect ergonomics for my hand.

 

So, If I were buying another Zayante, at this point (It would be my fourth!), I would get it without a nib. I would fit it with a CI ground JoWo nib from fpnibs.

 

Please understand I have no affiliation with any of the companies mentioned and, of course, YMMV.

 

Happy writing!

I have ordered a bamboo with PSP's custom fine cursive italic nib! Mine was bought very recently and I love that nib to death!
