Kanwrite Nibs

Just email them at kanpurwriters@gmail.com and ask about a price list. They do PayPal and can send you a price list with all their products on it. I recently bought three no 35 BB nibs in Jowo #6 threaded housing and it was a simple and painless process.

Cool, thanks for the link!

Recently, I purchased a Kanwrite Medium flex, and boy what a delight it has been. I especially love its long steely nibs that 'splits' as you write.

Attached a sample.

Thanks for your writing sample. Looks like a great pen/nib to write with. I am considering this pen/nib...now positioned as full flex with the cut-out slits. Ryan

Ask for the ultraflex nib with an ebonite feed. The other available flex nibs are too stiff.

Hmm I kinda agree and not agree at same time. The normal flex nib in no 6 nib unit is just fine and offers line variation from Fine to Broad easily and is very easy to use daily to get better results, although I too felt it was stiff at start, it has mellowed nicely and is very nice to play with and write with in daily writing without taking the professional feel of writing away, Ebonite feed, completely agreed with you here. Though I suspect this kind of flex would not be possible for any smaller nibs with flex mod. Though for further variation as pointed out ultraflex are better but normal flex is not too stiff either.

 

A small image to show line variation, was taken when I was discussing with a friend on flex nibs 5 or 6 months back, was fun and fruitful discussion, I kept the image for future reference as its easy to show the variation, just ignore the context of it😅

all done with Kanwrite flex fine with waterman serenity blue (darkened ink).

I agree that there is a little flex while writing normally, but pushing just ruins my calligraphy. I am used to writing with dip pens which are a lot more "flexy".

 

The ultraflex initially did not work because it came with a plastic feed.

      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
