Thanks for the update. I sent you a PM regarding the shipment of Jowo screw in nibs you have been expecting and that I wish to choose from.

Thanks for the update. Did you get the shipment of Jowo screw in nibs so that we can choose?

 

You can buy Nauka, with any JoWo nib. Please mention the nib width in comments while checking out cart. I will take care of it.

I have already bought the pen and paid for it. I now need to select and pay for the nib unit. Please see my PM to you. Thanks much.

I just checked the website and it does not show any JOWO nib units available.

 

 

EDIT: Oops! Noted post above saying to indicate JOWO nib size in "comments" at checkout for new buyers.

Thanks.

The Schmidt nibs are excellent performers, smooth and consistent and start every time, even after weeks of non-use. Mine are all F, but that's a personal preference. I tried an M once and except for finding it too broad, its characteristics were the same. Can't go wrong!

Depending upon your liking for wetness you can choose between Schmidt and jowo. As already mentioned Schmidt is more wet.

To me Schmidt is better looking and is branded too (Schmidt engraved). Jowo is not branded. Only iridium point Germany Is engraved. So Schmidt looks good to me.

They are similar but note that they are different sized, for example generally, a #6 standard nib will not fit into a section designed for a schmidt nib. However any #6 nib will fit into a JoWo nib section, so you can replace it with your Goulet Nib, your FPR flex #6, etc. Shmidt nibs are pretty smooth also so it depends on what your general usage is

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
