Opus 88 #10 1.4-Stub nib (unit) fits the Picnic model

Just to give a friend some assurance that (JoWo) #5 is what Opus 88 calls size #10, for its nib units that are compatible with the Picnic and Koloro models, in case retailers confusingly call the Opus 88-branded nib units “#5” in error.© A Smug Dill

The Bock #5 Ti arrived just before lunch, as did the Rohrer and Klingner Verdigris. I have been patiently awaiting their arrival, to introduce them both to the new, unused Opus 88 Koloro Blue. But first, lunch, as I dine with others. The Opus is fitted with a JOWO nib. The Bock housing and nib are longer than the JOWO, so I installed the nib in/on that housing/feed. I used a syringe to fill the eyedropper pen, dipped the nib in the ink to saturate the feed, and let sit for five minutes to settle. I then picked it up to take it for a spin. Great Googly Moogly! Wholay-Gwak-a-Molay! I feel like I can fly! This is, without doubt, the very best, most joyful writing experience I have ever had. Easy, light, graceful and flowing. The nib dances across the page without effort. A life changing experience! What am I supposed to do with all those soon to be ignored, unloved other nibs? Will the cursive italic, self ground and purchased, feel spurned, forlorn and jilted? I can hear the siren song of a #6 Bock Ti calling me. Or is just my imagination? Maybe I should just distract myself in the fruitless search for the perfect teal, blue green ink. P.S Says XF on the box, but it writes more like a Fine. Clairefontaine paper.
