A Minuskin 1St! Check Out This Combo 1.3Mm Namiki Vp & Ef Retip!

Hi All,

 

Well, Another Greg Minuskin First! Check out this Namiki VP sporting a really custom "Duel" retip. Super large crispy 1.3mm italic for one side, then on top an extra fine tip! The Triangle approach for this retip was the solution I was looking for, and it works wonderfully. Enjoy the photos!

Very interesting....

Could this be done with a Parker 51 and say a .6-.7mm stub with an XF on top

What would something like that cost...

Thanks for your reply!

 

The problem would be getting the apex of the triangle over the nose cone of a 51 pen when you screw it on.

 

Sincerely,

How much does this cost for the tipping on a VP? How smooth is it?

P51 - You can always put the nib in after shell is on?

Cost is $120.00; smoothness is determined on your paper, ink, your unique hand, etc.

Dear Danny,

 

True. One could do that, but adjusting the tines, especially on a crispy italic, is more difficult this way.

      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
