Maybe my 10-year-old boy is an aspiring nibmeister.

Or maybe he should stop eating pens and pressing down so hard when he writes.

Sorry. It's from the Octavian with F nib. The other nib above posted on 3 Sept is from the 75th anniversary Limited Ed 149. It too has a F nib.

Down and dirty, my Namiki Falcon <SF> loves it this way.

 

It never complains. It just gets on with the job in hand, every, single, time . . .

I have loved fountain pens for years. When I started making my own pens, I wanted to get good enough to make my own fountain pen. I now make pens nicer than those I can buy. My problem is nibs. I buy kits from Penn State and Woodcraft, but they all come with a medium nib. I would prefer a nice fine nib but dont know if they can be replaced or who would might make a suitable replacement nib. Does anyone have experience with this? I would hate to make a high end fountain pen yet be stuck with a low end medium point nib.

      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..

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
