Fpr Himalaya With #6 Nibs!

[Intensity]

Received 2 more Himalaya pens today with ultraflex steel nibs, bringing my total Himalaya count to three—all with the excellent ultraflex nibs. Two #5.5 nib versions and one #6.

 

The section of #6 seems ever so slightly longer than #5.5 on account of having shorter threaded area. #6 nib does look better on the pen than #5.5.

 

But... I very much prefer my 5.5 versions for the greater control over line width and writing in general. The #6 nib is only slightly longer but feels more easily flexible when I’m not trying to flex and writing with a light hand. I like the smaller nib for greater control too. The #5.5 nibs write very slightly narrower than #6 in my case, but it could also be down to ink difference. Overall, I might end up putting my #6 on classifieds and getting another #5.5 instead.

 

This is mostly only relevant for the ultraflex nib combination, of course.

Planning to purchase the Ultraflex, but I'm not sure which to get: UF with feed, or the nib unit.

 

Can I use the #6 on a Jinhao X750? Looking for recommendations for an inexpensive pen (aside from FPR or other Indian pens) that fits with the Ultrafex #6 and #5.5). Thank you in advance.
