Can I ask you why you want to do that? I mean whats the issue with the current nib?

Nothing. I was wondering is it could be done.

 

edit: Now I have a good reason. The nib seems to be very dry.

 

I trried Platinum's Carbon Ink and Diamine's Sapphire Blue in this nib.

The Carbon ink I expected to be drier than usual, but not even the Diamine seems to flow well.

Now thats odd honestly....I have not tried diamine inks (cant cos my blue bottle still has more than half left) but I use platinum carbon daily and I can assure you its very wet ink (compared to waterman serinity blue, R&K Sallix, sheaffer skrip black and sheaffer blue, even wetter then some iroshizuku's).........the only time carbon ran drier then usual for me was when there was some ink residue from sallix left in feed channel...it required me to clean the feed separately, luckily issue was in wality 69EB.....simplest feed to work on so nothing happened.......

 

My point is the feed might need a proper cleaning or nib has some issues (alignment, bent ting and such....) might start checking with feed cos from pic the nib looks fine (could be wrong about this so take it as you may).

I will do one last check for any obstruction. If nothing is found then I am sending it back to Guider for tuning.

      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
