Broad Nib For Jinhao 159

[Charles Skinner]

Where can I buy a good quality broad nib that will fit into my Jinhao 159? C. S.

If I want a silk purse, I buy a silk purse. However, fashioning a silk purse from a sow's ear might be a feasible, even fun, endeavor. I would start by contacting Goulet Pens or xfountainpens, as they are good advisers and will discuss the appropriate nib size, etc. Sorry for being vague, but I never consider doing this.

I've bought this for my x750 (which has the same nib)

They worked perfectly.

Disclaimer: You need to be comfortable with pulling out the feed and re-setting the nib. It's a friction fit, so very easily done. Brian most likely has videos on it.

The 159 takes a #6 nib, which you can pick up in several places. I grabbed some of the Goulet nibs, and they were very nice. I've had everything from an EF to a 1.5 stub in the 159 and mine took them all like a champ.

I use Goulet nibs in mine. I bought this pen specifically so I could easily change out the various nib sizes.

Another vote for the Goulet nibs. Have several, love them.

 

Enjoy,

Goulet's B is of better quality but xfountainpens 0.6 stub is delightful nib on 159.

I've used the Knox #6 nibs from xfountainpens.com with very good results. I've even used them in more costly pens.

 

The usual disclaimers apply -- no connection, just a satisfied customer.

I am using a 1.1 mm stub from Goulet Pens in a Jinhao 159 and it is writing just fine. I have been impressed that this pen starts right up after being stored nib up for a day or two. The feed keeps up with the stub.

I ground up my own 1.1mm stub from the stock nib. I even put a little bit of crispness to it.

Hi, do try Goulet nibs. I've used the fine and 1.1stub in my jinhao 159 and the fine is a winner ... With the stub the flow is probably too high so feathering is a problem. Also with the original jinhao converter the capacity is definitely less than an international one so .. More often than not I would have an empty converter by the end of the day. Not tHat drastic with a fine nib.

The Knox nibs from xFountainPens are amazing for the price, very smooth and wet broad nibs.

I have several 159s and find them hard to beat - except they only come in medium -- #6 nibs from Goulet or Xfountainpen - solves that problem
