G Nib In Jinhao 599?

[queerspaceman]

hey all,

i've seen a lot about replacing the nib in a jinhao 450 or 750 with a zebra G nib to get a flexy fountain pen, and I was wondering if the same would be possible a 599, because I'd really like a demonstrator with a flex nib. thanks for any advice!

Based on this video by SBRE Brown, the 599 has a #5 nib. The x450 and x750 have #6 nibs. So, no, I don't believe you'll be able to use a Zebra G nib on the Jinhao 599.

You might try the Nikko G. I think it has a tighter diameter than the Zebra G.
