Favorite Custom Threaded Jowo #6 Nibs?


Keyless Works

Recommended Posts

I would like to buy a nice nib for my Wancher pen which uses threaded #6 Jowo nibs. I was intending to buy a FPNibs flex nib from Peyton Street but their last one sold before I got a chance to buy it.

 

What are you favorite custom Jowo #6 nibs? (Preferably ones that you can buy or order) I would be interested particularly in nice flex nibs, cross nibs, or anything with a nonstandard point.

You've probably heard this suggested before, but in case not, I'd heartily recommend Pablo of fpnibs.com in Spain. FPnibs sell JoWo gold flex (soft) nibs if that's what you're looking for, but are willing to customise any of their nibs (steel or gold) for a very reasonable price. I *don't* think they do stacked nibs (though you could ask!), but I've been very impressed with the array of customisations they've done for me on steel nibs over the years: architect grinds (on B, M and F steel nibs), fine stubs, cursive italics, a 'duopoint' nib (M nib ground to a fine stub, with a fine point ground on the reverse)...

 

According to their website they're not taking orders till September (presumably coronavirus related), but if you contact them via their website and let them know what you're looking for, I've always found them very responsive.

Yeah I was originally planning to buy the one Peyton Street had from FPNibs I'll ping them next month.

 

Based on the look of that pen, I'd say Flexible Nib Factory Steel Flex is a good match

 

I have 2 and they do not break the bank, available and deliver nice semi-flex a bit more controlled than FPR but with the perfect JoWo fit.

These look nice. Does line variation require a lot of pressure?

      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
