Hi! So I am being paranoid again and anxious about my nib. I'm not sure if it is just me thinking that its writing had changed or it is really damaged. I feel like it is feedbacky now after bumping its nib (Custom 823) tip in bottom of the ink bottle while refilling. Does this pen have a sweet spot?...

does hitting the metal part of cap/bottom of ink bottle directly with your nib damages it?
penmaster6969 posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
For example, when uncapping or capping the pen and the nib slides or hit/bumped the cap or any metal part of it, say clip; hitting the bottom or side of ink bottle; the screen of laptop; accidentally letting the pen roll over the desk and bumping into something; does this damages the nib? I have hea... -
Hi fellow fountain pen enthusiasts, Does anyone here have any experience with Kanwrite gold and titanium nibs. I am talking about the #6 titanium and gold nibs and also #9 gold nib available with Kanwrite Mammoth. How is the smoothness and softness of these nibs out of the box? Do titanium nibs...

Hi all, I am thinking about buying a Kanwrite Mammoth with a #9 broad nib, I have seen great reviews of it on Youtube and here, but I am torn between buying the steel vs gold nib. I love juicy smooth nibs, but I also like some softness which I have heard is absent in the steel nib. I have sear...

Introduction This is a review of the "Master" from Kaco. I saw precious few reviews of this pen while I was researching for it, for possible purchase, either on youtube or written. I took a chance based on a few comments regarding the quality of the nib, and I am very glad that I did. This i...

Hello! First of all, this is only my third review on FPN, so if you can please leave constructive criticism below! I would love to improve the quality of my reviews. The Pilot E95S seems to be like the least expensive gold nib pen that is consistently offered here in the U.S. . The only...

This is my first Santini fountain pen and it's the one I like more till now. I'm a fountain pen lover and my favourite ones are my ebonites. They are all hand crafted by artisans. The one I introduce you now is the Santini Libra Voyager with the superflexy nib. It's a bit special because it's made...

I'm loving my new Sailor Pro Gear <H-M>. So now of course I am curious about Sailor pens with <S-M>. But I can't find them for sale anywhere. Do they even exist? 21k? Which models? Maybe as a replacement nib?

Is the Platinum 3776 nib really as scratchy as people say?
E.H. Tersono posted a topic in Japan - Asia
I always see the Platinum 3776 on lists of great lower cost gold nib pens, but then I read more and find people saying it's really toothy, scratchy, or just has a lot of feedback. I personally want a nib that glides, as little friction as possible. What's your experience with the lower cost Platinum... -

It has two B s on it, the one on the left being flipped horizontally. Other than these two letters there are not any helpful marking on this nib.

Clicbait? Absolutely! And I'm sure already done before So that Preppy original nib met an unfortunate early demise, and I had a spare Lamy Z50 laying around...but then I got a Z55 in the mail, so it was only natural to try it on the Preppy! The Preppy will however...

I recently bought this pen in an eBay auction and was wondering the model of it? It looks a lot like a Vicoh, but these have a different, plain gold clip and a rounded top. A similar looking clip comes on the PTL-5000A, but they have a different cap band, section trim and a 14k nib instead of 1...

During a recent sale, I picked up a blue Sonnet with a broad gold nib (Blue CT). I'd had some challenging experiences with a few older Parker pens, and despite the fact they don't seem to get much love I wanted to try a new in the box model just to see what that was like. Turns out that...

After trying a vintage 51, and two vintage Sonnets, I want to try a new out of the box Parker pen with a gold nib. I really liked the way the 51 wrote, and one of the Sonnets, they felt nearly frictionless and the way I write that's helpful. They were all Medium nibs. The options for tha...

This is a medium Sonnet I just received, from a reputable shop, which was sold as "new old stock." The nib looks bent to me, but it writes pretty nicely. Perhaps a little scratchy in one direction, but wildly better than the custom ground nib I unexpectedly got from another shop. So this...

I'm at a complete loss trying to figure out why this is happening. The nib unit for my Santini Italia Calypso Mother-of-Pearl pen, which houses a rhodium-plated 18K gold nib and an ebonite feed supporting it, has just been returned to me from Italy after repair. I bought a bo... -
“First look” Review: Radius1934 Superior Primissima Monterosso Introduction Radius pens were made in Italy from 1934 until sometime in the 1950’s. Very little is known about the history of the brand, even by such authorities on Italian fountain pen history as Letizia Jacopini....
