Jowo Nib (Wa Grind) From Fpnibs For Twsbi 580Al - Amazing!

Recommended Posts

I recently received my new JOWO nib for the TWSBI Diamond 580AL with a custom Waverley Grind (EF) and WOW is it a great writer. The smoothest EF I have ever written with. I love my 580, but I it feels like a whole new pen :)

The price couldn't be beat either (the grind was only 9 pounds). Definitely recommended.

I'll second that! To date I have a medium cursive italic, broad cursive italic, needlepoint and fude nib from the guys at FPNibs.com and I can heartily recommend them. Really good nibs.

Since no one else had mentioned their architect grind (available for *far* less than most other professional nib grinding services I've seen), let me chime I'm to say they do a fantastic job with this too...

Sure - here's a side-on shot of the nib first of all:

And here's a quick note I wrote to show what the pen can do - sorry my penmanship ain't the prettiest! [Also, I just swapped the nib into a nearly-empty pen, with Diamine Purple Pazzazz - so you can probably seem some of the shimmer...]

I'm absolutely in Love with FPnibs. I bought from them an Architect grinded nib for my Lamys and it's wet and smooth just as I dreamed of.
Now I've ordered for my VAC 700 a brand new B nib, ruthenium coated, adjusted to have a little more flow. I'll post some photos as far as I receive my new baby!

Probably my next add on for one of my TWSBIs will be an oblique stub or something really new to me, obviously grinded by Pablo.

I have FPnibs in TWSBIs (Minis). Mine are just "standard" EF, F, M but they are very smooth writers, even the EF. Their service was excellent, too.

I only spent like $30 but emailed them back and forth like 4 times. They were patient and really helpful. I really great company.

Would it be possible to see a writing sample of these custom nibs? I'm especially curious about the medium and broad cursive italics. I foresee some CIs and architect nibs in my near future...

 

Thanks!

This was a broad cut to an italic (apologies for the poor photo and writing of course)

 

 

Great line variation! I assume it must be a "crisp" italic.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, it is quite crisp, though not as crisp as those from the hand of Masuyama. More forgiving in that respect.

Dear all

JoWo make a custom nib for TWSBI - it's a #5 (roughly), but with a wider 'wingspan'. It's not the same as the #5 pens you can buy from a JoWo supplier - the nibs for the Diamond Mini (or Vac Mini, or Eco etc) is closer in configuration to a standard JoWo #5 nib, but the curvature needs to be adjusted slightly to get a good fit.

That's right, TWSBI nibs are a custom design by JoWo so a normal JoWo may not work. If you want a nib other than the standard TWSBI sizes, fpnibs.com sells TWSBI nibs that they will custom grind to your own specs for a reasonable price.

I want to thank you because this topic show me how to obtain a very good fude pen: TWSBI Diamond Mini Classic with fude, just arrived today. 
Together with my Diamond 580 Prussian Blue, is a perfect pair for drawing.

      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
