You have more nib options.

If you follow my Instagram feed, you may have seen that last month, at the San Francisco Pen Show, I debuted a new filling system and pen model.

What you may not have seen is over the past year or so, I've been transitioning my pens to all fit the JoWo #6 screw-in nib unit. This is an example of a Chiaroscuro with a JoWo Fine nib installed.

So, if you choose to buy a Desiderata pen–if you choose–you can unscrew the nib unit from your existing pen and swap it into mine. 

This is a brief listing of pen manufacturers that also use JoWo #6 nib units:

  • Goulet

  • TWSBI

  • Franklin-Christoph

  • Montegrappa

  • Stipula

  • Edison

  • Faber Castell

  • Conklin

  • Tibaldi

  • Rotring

  • Krone

  • Monteverde

Please be advised. 

UPDATE 2024: For a $100 add’l upcharge, I’ll grind you a 0.4 cursive italic like that featured here.
