Best of luck to you, hope the titanium nibs do well for you.

 

Enjoy, and Welcome to FPN! :W2FPN:

Yours,

From a person's actions, we may infer attitudes, beliefs, --- and values. We do not know these characteristics outright. The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

Are you having the Ranga 4c made to accept Bock threaded units, or are you just installing the nib in an eyedropper model w original feed? We've swapped the nib out of JoWo assemblies and installed Sheaffer Balance 2 nibs, but we've found that only certain nibs are the right thickness for the threaded units.

What do you love about a titanium nib?

Kent

They are softish with a feeling like softer 14k and 18k nibs yet in a way many on FPN have had difficulty describing. The feel IS different than gold yet quite pleasing. I have one from Stipula and one from Delta, and I enjoy them both very much even though I have more than enough gold nibs to satisfy me.

I hope you'll like the nib when it arrives. I bought the same one and installed it a few days ago in a Gama Hawk. The matte grey metal looks much better with the brushed ebonite pen than did the gold-washed steel of the nib that came in the pen. As you can see in a clip of the photo that you posted, it doesn't have a big ball of tipping like most modern nibs:

In that respect, it's more like a vintage nib. It also seems to have been finished with a great deal of care -- the tipping is clean, symmetrical and very smooth, both in the normal orientation and inverted. No baby's bottom, sharp spots or other problems.

 

The nib proper has good, even ink flow after opening the tines slightly -- they were pinched a little too tightly as delivered. And it is moderately flexible, although I haven't used it long enough to try to qualify how the flex might be different from that of a gold nib.

 

Incidentally, I didn't use the whole 250 point unit, I just pulled the nib and put it into the pen's section. The Bock feed was too small in diameter; I used a Sheaffer NoNonsense feed, which works very well after heat-setting it to the nib.

And it is moderately flexible...

 

 

After some use, I'll amend that to "springy". It goes from fine to perhaps medium without undue pressure.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
