Bill Wood Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think I don't use my Conid as much because of the selection of Bock nibs. I have a couple of mediums, had to break arms to get a broad -- and of course I prefer something in a stub or a 1 mm italic. I just cant seem to source these nibs for my Conid. Many say you can use the Jowo 6, but I don't think it's a perfect fit. If one can use Jowo in Conids Horray! - but what's the definitive answer? And what about the great places to source Bock nibs? Thanks all - enjoy your Conids. I'm saving for another. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluey Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Try Beaufort nibs in Scotland. Shipping prices to overseas are meant to be very reasonable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrifleman Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have two Conids (a third is on order), both currently wear titanium Stubs. The nibs were all done by Conid. The Kingsize which was my first came with a Gold Fine point and I just never really liked it. When I placed an order for my Ebonite Regular I also ordered a Medium Titanium Stub for the Kingsize. The regular came with a Broad stub. Both of these are fantastic, in fact the regular is my favorite pen! The one on order will also come with a Broad Stub. My experience is that Conid will grind a nib as you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulrich Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I may have seen someone specially request a Jowo feed from Conid but that may be more effort than having Conid just do a stub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I wanted to hear. I have a standard Conid, what Bock nib size would that be? Probably a #6? Many thanks.

Phil_Dart Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Bill, I'm not sure which of their models you regard as standard. The Slimline takes a size 5, the King Size takes a size 8, and the Minimalistica, Regular and Giraffe all take a size 6. www.beaufortink.co.ukTop quality nibs, ink and refills, pen kits, tools and supplies for discerning pen enthusiasts and makers.Agents for Bock nibs.Specialist supplies for kitless pens and custom pen makers.

SpecTP Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) I have or rather had a Bock Titanium Fine nib that was perfect.. I just messed it up by catching it on the CAISO when I put my cap back on. Sigh.. it'll have to go back to Conid for a fix.

SpecTP Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 it's not easy.. but if you don't pay attention, you won't notice it until it's too late. you just need to insert the cap at a slight angle to avoid the contact. I was just in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayKellner Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 The definitive answer......... here it goes. You can use a N6 Jowo in a bock feed. It should work, but the opposite is not possible, well, you'll have problems to adjust the nib correctly, this is a bock on a jowo feed, as the feed that's used by jowo is wider, and Bock nibs are a bit narrower than the Jowo ones.....what else, just buy a steel nib and make the try. think htat the nib casings are different, so your conid has a bock case. Here a link to a german retailer of Bock. it has a good selection of nibs. http://www.writingturningflipping.com/?cat=c19_Federn-von-Bock.htmlI speak german so for me is no problem, but you can always use google translator, Im giving you the link. You can also write to Francis or Werner, they will be more than happy to help. You can buy nibs at FPNibs this retailer is based on spain and carries Jowo, prices are good. https://www.fpnibs.com/ I think you can try a 14k N6 probably will be something in between. But always use the bock feed. In general european retailers are cheaper than american ones, goulet pens and american sites of the sort are selling re-branded jowo nibs very expensive.good luck!PD jowo has no titanium nibs.
