?nib Switch- Pilot Cavalier Duo-Color


PenOllivander

Recommended Posts

Hi all! I'm new to the forum, but I have been a longtime lurker.

 

For background, I have all 4 colors of the Pilot Cavalier duo-colored Fine-nibbed Cavalier pens (only FPs I own), and I really want to try the medium nibbed Duo-Cavalier tip.

 

My question is, can I take a medium nibbed Cavalier duo pen, twist off the grip/nib section. Twist off the grip/nib of a Fine nibbed Cavalier duo pen, and then swap the two?

 

I'm doing this because I like to match the pen's barrel color to the respective ink color inside. Ideally I'd want a medium nibbed blue-duo cavalier, but they are hard to find, so I'd ideally buy one of the newer releases duo-color pens, twist the nib/grip off and screw it into the fine nibbed blue duo pen that I have. Would this work?

 

Best,

Gene

CONFIRMED! These pens do share the same threading. My medium from the silver gray duo just got twisted into my blue duo :D

      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
