Bock Nibs In Twsbi

[challer61]

I recall reading somewhere that TWSBI can be configured with Bock nibs but I cannot find the source. Can anyone confirm and if so which pens and nibs? They hold a ton of ink and fit great in my hand. But the nibs are not great.

 

Thank you!

A Bock #6 fit my 700r no problem. I think that may be the only one that uses #6 nibs. At one point the 700 was shipped with Bock nibs before they switched to Jowo. Note it's the bare nib not a Bock nib housing/unit that can be used in the 700/700r.

 

I have not heard of other models that work with the smaller Bock nibs. I have never seen anything wrong with Jowo nibs. Maybe yours needs tuning or something.

Hi Challer61

Beaufort Ink in the UK is the main source of Bock Nibs. We are possibly the largest distributors of their nibs worldwide. TWSBI pens will take either a standard size 6, a standard size 5, or a short size 5 depending on the model.

Thanks for your clarification. I am using no 6 EF nib (sourced from your store) successfully in Vac 700. Which Bock nib can be fitted in TWSBI ECO ?

An ECO takes a standard size 5 (type 180), and just as with your VAC700, you'll need to swap the new nib into your existing TWSBI housing.

I hope that helps

Thanks. Yes, I did the same, just swapped no 6 Bock nib in my Vac 700 section. Just used the nib. Feed used is the one from TWSBI. TWSBI nib also fits well in the Bock no 6 housing.
