EPISODE 8: INTRO TO MODERN FOUNTAIN PEN NIBS

A few episodes ago a viewer asked if I could do an all out video covering nib compatability. This episode is the first on that subject and some related topics. In this episode, I go deep into modern nibs made by the big three German nib brands, JOWO, Bock, and Schmidt. I discuss the parts and features of these nibs and nib units, how to remove and swap nibs, and test what is compatible and what is not.

Thank you to ‪@davidalexander-watts6630‬ for the idea.
