Retiping Material

[Margie]

I'm looking to make my own nib. I'm a jeweler so this is in my wheelhouse. Do any of you nibmasters know where to find the alloy used for the tip? The suppliers that I use don't have the right alloy.

Thank you for any help.

This is the material you need. https://www.heraeus.com/en/hpm/hmp_products_solutions/products_for_writing_utensils/home_pen_points.aspx

 

You may have to find someone selling this online or maybe contact Heraeus directly.

 

Do show us your nibs.

FYI OP, you want the ruthinium osmium blend tipping. That's gonna be most durable.
