Fine point fountain pen kit.
Hi,
A friend has asked me to make him a fountain pen with a fine tip. He tried a Roman Harvest fountain pen but said it wasn't fine enough.
Does anyone have any suggestions of a different kit that is finer.
Thanks.
Todd.

Timberbits sells Bock nibs that can replace the stock nib in your fountain pens.
There are fine nibs in stock , though only in 5mm, the 6mm are only in stock in medium point. I think the Roman Harvest takes 6mm.
If you use a Jr. size kit it will take a 5mm nib, so you will be able to change the nib to a fine point 5mm Bock.Brad.

Are the replacement nibs suitable for calligraphy? My wife who does a bit of this says the standard tips are no good for calligraphy.

On occasions I have put in a standard calligraphy nib in place of the supplied pen kit nib, it has worked, only way is to try it. Amos

What John said above, usually they sell very cheaply in sets, I think if someone is really into Calligraphy, you would need to make a SET of pens from the same kit and put a different nib in each, saves having to change nibs. Amos
