i couldn't find any on ali or w/e and i figure they don't do shit like that (why sell a part of a pen when you can sell a whole pen.)

true

a #6 nib would fit fine on the x450 and x750 iirc

That pen looks like shit

Imho

it's a feelbad to spend more on a nib than a pen but eh

for $2 you basically should only care about how it writes

The nib is the pen tbqh

Yea but I like my fountain pens to be a e s t h e t i c

if you wanna look kewl wit your senpai then ya gonna hafta get a Sailor and pay $34239843289 mcbucks

For 2 bucks I'd just write with the nib 😐

Welcome <@191220124957671424>!

so who else here is watching the animeme bloodivores, featuring animation from a chineese company

They make solid polished matte steel x750s that are pretty clutch and minimalistic imho

also since I need a good pen, should I get etiher one of the above pens, or a cheap parker pen

otoh they're actually kind of "too" solid, metal clip is reqs overly high amt of force to use, as do the pen cap. The sound has a most definite solid click at the expense of likely rattling the insides quite a bit.

If you're new to fountains you should get a good reference cheap pen first, say Pilot Metropolitan
