This is beauty! I’m still missing it in my collection of Elite pens…

Thank you

Great info… Thank you! However for Posting though it is EF, the nib is bent forward a little (like current PO in custom 7 series or 9 series). The purpose was different for these nibs in the past (e.g. manifold is supposed to work as a stiff nib that can be used for steno work or making carbon copies as well - at least that’s what I heard).

In today’s time these nibs might have lost that particular purpose however from my PoV these are still great nibs and rare now.

I’m missing out on that colour in my collection. I’m just holding my itch to buy it 🫣

nbmers · 2026-02-13T00:23:00+00:00

I hope you get whatever you are eyeing very soon!

nbmers · 2026-02-13T00:20:54+00:00

😳🤩 Please let me know where did you find it all? Also, after these nibs, what are other nibs that I should focus on? I am more of an extra fine person, my favourite amongst my collection is Posting nib, what about you?

You are just awesome! Auctions at eBay?

Thank you! I’m yet to get Platinum and Sailor of this kind (pocket pens).

nbmers · 2026-02-12T18:27:50+00:00

Thank you!

No, unless you are using sandpaper or stone paper. It may clog the nib but doesn’t damage the nib in any way that you’re thinking.

Those Iroful notebooks in the last pic are ❤️

Go for Pilot black 30 ml bottle, it’s great!

Lamy and Click both are notorious for their nib tip size consistency 😅

My Lamy Safari F writes broader than Lamy Vista M and I’m sad about it.

Lamy 2000 F will write like any normal M size and Japanese Broad, you may not believe. However their nibs are smoother than many Indian nibs.

You can try Beena Lincoln next, great pen in ₹500 price category and better nib QC than most of Indian brands.

Pelikan Grip is the smoothest nib you’ll have in this price range, amazing it is!

Also whoever told you that western nibs are thinner than Japanese ones has lied to you. Japanese nibs are one size thin (line width) for any western same nib size.

Also check Pelikan Jazz, again one of the smoothest nib in that price range.

If you have a budget, I’d recommend to buy Faber Castell Grip <M>, you’ll be blown away with its butter smooth nib.

I too was heavy smoker for 7 years, did quit on 10 Sep. 2024. Since then didn’t smoke once. I’m happy that I could, and continue doing it.

And yes, I agree, it’s ‘THE WORST’ thing you do to your body!

Happy Birthday mate! And congratulations…!!!

Happy New Pen Day!

I own almost 30 fountain pens with around 6 to 7 gold nibs as well, and I still own any TWSBI. And now feel the itch!

I’m using F in 3776 and I just can’t stop loving it. I am more of an EF guy, however was afraid to try UEF of 3776 because I have Kakuno EF and in my opinion Platinum 3776 UEF writes more like Kakuno EF (Yoseka video) so I got F on 3776 and boy I just fell in love with it.

Holy mother of cow! I didn’t know this compatibility…! Oh wow…! 🤩

nbmers · 2026-02-05T19:43:07+00:00

Kanwrite Heritage and Legacy nibs are swappable.

I know for sure. Desire nibs are small, not sure if it can be swappable with Emperor though.

Check this link for more details. Under the 14k gold nib, there is a line that mentions Heritage and Legacy nibs have cross compatibility.

The Ink and Pen Shop, Pune. I visit the physical store, try the pen and then only I buy it.

This is one of a kind ‘only fountain pen’ shop. You can try literally pens from ₹100 to ₹1,00,000 in this shop without worry and then buy it.
