I have long thought that a M805 would suit me well. Nib excepted, in that I have no interest in "nail" nibs. The following may seem like sacrilege to some. If so, sorry! It is my understanding that the M8xx series takes a #6 nib. My preferred general use nib is a Bock Ti CI. It is my understanding that this nib is a wee bit longer than the M805 nib. So in theory, one could remove the excess length off the rear end of the Ti, and mount it on the M805. Then I'd have a very handsome pen with a nib that suits my hand. I look forward to your thoughts. Thank you.
