Nemosine German 0.8 Calligraphy Nib

I have bought Nemosine nibs now. I love the cheap price and the fact that they are good, quality nibs. My only gripe with this is that it is definitely NOT .8 . This writes as thick or thicker than my TWSBI 1.1 nib. Looking at them side-by-side they are the same width. I might grind mine down carefully with a dremel tool and then smooth it out. I would never do that with an expensive nib but these are cheap so I don't mind taking the chance of ruining it.

I bought this and a Pilot Plumix Medium also a calligraphy nib. I was just curious about giving it a try. There's a reason most pen quills and steel nibs were this design. They're a joy to write with, the wider nib isn't scratchier or more resistant than a Fine nib. I think my writing is easier to read.The Nemosine and the Plumix are my 'daily carry' fountain pens. Replacing the Nemosine nib with this one was really easy.Only downside is they put more ink on the page. I no longer use cartridges, I just fill up the barrels and add an O-ring to the threaded barrel joint (and silicone grease). This is a good (but initially risky) way to fill up your pens. I never have to refill but once a week. I used to run out at least once every day.

I have been using Fountain Pens for a few years now and I have decided my favorite Nibs are Stubs. No bigger than 1.5mm I decided to try this manufacturer 0.8mm Nib. Upon receipt the tines of the nib were really tigh together, leading to rather dry performance. A very quick adjustment resulted in a very juicy and wet Nib! Excellent writer but I do think it is wetter and makes a bigger line than 0.8mm. This is a #6 Nib and I currently have it mounted on a Jinhao 159. This should fit on any Fountain Pen that takes a #6 Nib.

While these are not as smooth as the Goulet or Monteverde nibs, they are still very good and cost much less than the others. I used this as a replacement nib for a Jinhao pen and it was a perfect fit-- total time to switch out nibs was less than a minute. A huge improvement over the stock Jinhao nib! The 0.8 nib size is nice, as it's small enough to use for regular note taking, but adds flair.

This thing is buttery, almost glassy smooth right out of the box. Lays down a nice line, not too wet, not too dry. One odd thing is that the width of the nib is wider than the line it lays down. This is odd, but not bad, and maybe if you're into nib grinding, you can widen the line if you like.

The nib arrived on time. I checked YouTube to look at how to replace nibs for these pens. The video was good and the replacement was easy. It writes very smoothly.

Pluma de muy buena calidad y suavidad en la escritura.

Very interesting departure from standard fine and medium nibs. Easy to switch out on my Ltd Fission pen. Reasonably smooth writer.
