Sailor King Eagle nib

This nib writes is like a reverse stub - a realy wide horizontal stroke, and a relatively thinner vertical stroke. A really nice signature nib!

 

Sailor King Cobra Nib.

All I can say about this is - smooth, wide, and wet nib. Easily BBBBBB!

 

Enjoy

Thank you. It is an amazing nib indeed.

I bought it from Tay at pensinasia.com. No affiliations with him.

Do you find that the King Eagle nib is usable for writing besides signatures? I want to put one on my wish list, but would hate to get such a nice pen (KOP) with limitations on what I could use it for...

 

As for the King Cobra... :puddle: :puddle: :puddle:

Someone notify GP write now. BBBBBB and he's not kidding! FPH has the nib size listed as that!

 

To the OP, I have heard that this pen has been recalled because of an instantly amazing experience that comes with writing with it. Ship it to me and I will save you from all harm! :ltcapd: :roflmho: :roflmho: :roflmho:

Sorry about the delay in responding.

 

This is pretty much a signature nib, unless one writes really, really large.

 

Hope this helps.

      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

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
