What Pens Will Take A #6 Jowo Nib And Housing?

Recommended Posts

Good morning,

 

Does anybody know what pens will take a #6 Jowo nib and screw in housing? I know that Woodshed Pen Co., Edison and F-C pens will, but are there any more out there? I have a #6 Jowo nib being ground to an architect by FPNibs and would like to swap it out.

 

Thanks.

If you're looking for a large Japanese eyedropper the Opus 88 Koloro Demonstrator takes a Jowo #6 nib unit.

This from 2015: Bexley, Conklin, Edison, Faber Castell, Franklin Christoph, Goulet, TWSBI

Plus the above. ASA also makes pens that accept Jowo nib units.

Add lightness and simplicate.

Thanks for the leads. I'm seriously considering a Franklin Christoph to fulfill my need. After that, no more fountain pens!

Regarding this, you usually have to ask Asa's owner to custom make the pet to take a JoWo nib unit. The super nice thing is that he'll sell you just the customized pen without the nib unit and converter for a great price! I've had his custom make a JoWo #5 unit pen for me and now he's making one with a #6 unit.

Can somebody confirm which models of Wancher pens also take JoWo #6 nib units? I believe the "Zen" does but that model no longer seems to be in production.

if you want to screw in the Jowo nib feed collar group then it's Bexley (later models, I'm told the earler models with gold nibs are not Jowo threaded), Edison, Franklin Christoph for sure.

For Ranga you need to purchase a Jowo threaded version (they also use Bock, and Schmidt)

Other pens may take the #6 Jowo but you may have to disassemble the nib feed collar group (which is not overly complicated anyway), for example you can fit a Bock nib in a Jowo collar and viceversa, best to maintain for each nib the original feed.

Does anyone happen to know if these fit the Waterman 100 'Le Man' brass housings? These have a weakness and fracture over time, and mine has gone.
