Twsbi Eco W/ Vintage Nib


surprise123

Recommended Posts

I was wondering what kind of nibs fit the Eco, since it has no nib collar to shred and it has a circular feed. Does anyone have calipers to measure the nib dimensions? I ordered an Eversharp nib that has roughly the same measurements, however I only have access to a ruler.

Oddly some folks leave their vintage nib, in their vintage pen....and resac it.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

I see in another post, you did modify a great nib so it can never be re-sold.

Then really you don't need any advice nor listen to any....so am deleting it.

 

There is no cure for the Pen of the Week in the Mail Club.....but years of time.

When patience could get one real fine vintage pens, with great balance.

 

Greed has many faces.....yep, I too was once a member of that club.

Never could learn to save money efficiently.

Sooner or later you are going to run out of cheap pens to buy.

 

Advice is buy better pens....buy one time Flagships...........but fear of not waiting for the postman to ring, will torpedo that.

      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
