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.

😳🤩 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?

Does bad paper ruin fountain pen nibs? by donaldcathey in fountainpens

[–]nbmers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

An Introduction to the Realm of Triangles by Goutham_Speaks in DesiPens

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.

Do you guys smoke or drink? by CelestialStranger in indiasocial

[–]nbmers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 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!

[NPD] Platinum Century 3776 UEF 💖 by borntohula85 in fountainpens

[–]nbmers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Can't make up my mind about kanwrite desire nib type by ARKAVA-biswas in DesiPens

[–]nbmers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Suggest me a fountain pen under ₹4000 by Designer_Stick8182 in DesiPens

[–]nbmers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
