Does The Pilon Vanishing Point Have Curve Nib

Recommended Posts

While I agree that it is almost certainly damaged, I could imagine another possibility: Could it perhaps be a posting nib? I don't know if Pilot ever offered that in VPs.

 

 

 

That was not a posting nib.

 

To my research, Pilot do not make any kind of special nibs for VP. What I ordered was also a normal F nib.

This is the web link and also a picture of the product I wanted. http://www.pencils.jp/product/639

 

I'm now happy with the new pen I ordered from www.nibs.com that arrived just few days ago.

I let a college use my fine VP pen to write a phone number down. He bent the nib the opposite way to yours, still wrote but very scratchy. gently pressed it on a desk. Seems ok now.

These nibs are so easily damaged.

A beautiful pen. I have a black and chrome VP and am waiting on a medium matt black coming.

      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
