The Checkerboard x750 arrived today. Much better packaging from the seller (not the same seller for the blue version).

 

It’s a neat looking pen with that pattern.

 

Question: are Jinhao nibs friction fit? I think I have some Nemosine #6 nibs that would fit the x750.

Yes, they are. Aren’t all “open” nibs friction-fit, irrespective of whether they are housed in a removable unit that is threaded on the outside for screwing into the gripping section, or housed directly in the section?

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

You made my head spin! Thank you for answering. I thought the nib should pull out, but wanted to be sure. Smug Dill, how would you describe vintage Esterbrook and Pelikan nibs that do screw out? Are they “closed”? Does closed mean you cannot change the nib, but must buy a new nib/feed unit?

I saw the term open nib being used to describe the most common (these days, anyway) style of nib, being that most of the nibs body is exposed and only a small part of it is inside the gripping section or removable housing unit, in discussions about the Jinhao 51A which typically has a hooded nib, but seems to now be available with open nibs as an alternative.

 

The nib on the modern Pelikan M2xx, which does sit inside a screw-in housing unit, is also an open nib in that sense. Now, I havent tried, but Im pretty sure the nib can be pulled out of the Pelikan housing unit. It certainly is the case for the Nemosine Fission, PenBBS 308/309, etc.

 

I dont have a Jinhao X750, only several X450, and Ive pulled the original nibs out of a couple of them to replace them with Zebra G nibs.

Thank you for the explanation. I tried to pull the nib out while riding in the car. It did not release, so Ill be sensible and wait till I get home.

The nibs of these pens are extremely easy to swap.

 

Jinhao 159 / X450 / X750 have the same nibs - #6 nibs.

 

Be careful with Zebra G-nibs, many people ruined their pens with them - they got them in but not out again, I also have one of these problem pens.

Here it is, one very good Jinhao from a better eBay seller.

It is now fitted with a Nemosine 0.8mm stub nib.

Thanks to MsRedpen for the sample of the ink.

Thank you for sharing. I have one gripper that is better for getting nibs out. I did not take it along in the car. I finally found it once home, and it helped so much.

      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
