Nibs

Our production models are designed around the size 6 Bock 250 nib system. We have found that it offers great reliabilty and quality at a reasonable price point. We stock gold and silver finishes in EF, F,M and B widths as they are the most popular. Other widths and finishes can be added to your order from the Nib page within the shop here.
