Question Of Nib Replacements For Kaweco Liliput

[TitoThePencilPimp]

Just purchased my first Kaweco after being solely a Pelikan/Sailor user.

 

All of my Pelikan and Sailors are in the xf/f category. The Kaweco I purchased is the Fireblue Liliput in M. Excited to also try my first M nib.

 

Anyhow, I wanted to also try a stub nib for the first time without investing a lot. Would this stub nib fit my liliput? https://www.amazon.com/Kaweco-Sport-Classic-Black-Calligraphy/dp/B00G6HLFPA/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=kaweco+stub&qid=1579568948&sr=8-1

yes and no.

 

the unit you linked to is originally made for the kaweco sport, using a complete section with feed and nib. the complete thing will only work with a non-metal kaweco sport.

however, you can pull the nib out of this unit, and implant it into a liliput.

 

better look for the unit that is made for metal sport, liliput and the like - it's cheaper, and easier to mount.

I have replaced the nib on my copper Liliput with a 1.5 stub & I ordered mine from JETPENS because I found their site easiest to determine which Kaweco nibs can be used in each pen.

You want a 060 nib/feed/sleeve unit, which is screwed in inside the metal section. As indicated it is the same as the ones for metal Kaweco sports.

 

Look for Kaweco 060 in Google.

Thank you a lot! I purchased the Boc Double Line nib, and waiting anxiously for it to arrive. Looks like a very interesting nib to play around with, but doesn’t appear practical upon reading.

It is for vanity writing, I mean, to make capital letters that look special and more elaborated. But it is still lots of fun. Good idea, enjoy it.

Yes. Just received it today. It is tons of fun!. The nib works better when writing with the reverse side.

 

I am still confused if the nib of a Kaweco SKYLINE fits a Lillyput? Ie., thread into the liliput? The Skyline cost a few dollars more than a No. 6 EF nib, so I wouldn't mind paying a few dollars more and getting an "extra" fountain pen.

Yes and no,

 

Kaweco uses a three (four) part system: nib + feed + collar (+ grip section).

 

Nib + feed are friction fit into the collar which screws into the grip section of some models (e.g. Liliput) or is glued into others (plastic Sport models: Classic & Skyline).

 

So, nib + feed do fit into any of these models' collars regardless of being screwed or glued, but if you want to avoid messing with nib and feed alone and just want to change the triple or the whole grip section (all four parts), then you are restricted to using only triples meant for xy or even the grip section in a specific colour for a specific model (i.e. gold plated steel nib for a Classic Sport vs. silver colour steel nib for the Skyline Sport models).

Thanks! I finally understood the differences.
