Interesting. These Jowo (?) #8 nibs look to be about the same length as the #6 nibs, though quite a bit wider. Rather like the nib on Montegrappa's Extra 1930, yet unlike most other #8 nibs which tend to be quite a bit longer.

[Newton Pens]

Pretty much. They're about .92" long, while the #6 is .91" long. Wider for sure.

.40" wide, and the #6 is about .35" wide.

Longer would be cooler though. )

WOW .. this is something new.

 

Have you put one in a pen yet?

 

Silly question as I am sure you did the moment the package arrived but do you have pics of one mounted?

Shawn, what is the length of the entire nib when dismounted from the feeder assembly?

[Newton Pens]

Dunno - haven't taken one apart. Don't see a good reason too. Really, these seem pretty fragile, and not cheap, to just take apart for no reason. I really really don't want to ruin any of these feeds.

No problem,. curious to see the feed now, is it ebonite?

Very nice. Is there any manufacturer offering these #8 in steel?

I do have several of these #8 bare nibs, w/o feed and housing available in gold plated steel.

I haven't put any of these in a pen yet, but I did make a little piece to hold a nib.
