Acid etched, deep for maximum grain texture. An almost raw, natural appearance. The nib for all those knife and sword, wood and steel lovers out there. · Featuring a faux Damacus finish on a stainless-steel nib · BB · JoWo #6 Screw-in compatible · Standard international converter compatible · Individually handcrafted These are stainless steel nibs, given a "faux Damascus" finish. Real Damascus steel would quickly corrode from ink due to the high Carbon levels in the alloy. I saw a number of artisan pen makers using Damascus Steel in the clips/capbands/other hardware in their pens, and the idea of having a matching nib sounded drool-worthy. Consumed with the idea, of course I had to try. Compatible with all pens that accept a JoWo #6 screw-in housing unit. This includes fountain pens from companies like: Edison Pens, Franklin-Christoph, Opus 88, Newton Pens, Desiderata Pens, and many, many more. [NOT compatible with Bock nib systems, Jinhao, Nahvahlur, TWSBI, Monteverde, or Conklin] Compatibility chart coming soon Please Note The nib comes as a unit, including the feed and housing. It is installed by screwing the unit into the pen body. It is highly recommended that you do not remove the nib from the feed. The "breather" at the end of the ebonite feed is extremely fragile and is easy to accidentally break when removing the feed from the housing. Replacement feeds cannot be provided. Please be mindful of your writing pressure. They are not meant to be flexed or to be used heavy-handedly, and have the potential to irreparably "spring" if pushed too far, which will destroy the nib. I cannot offer refunds, replacements or repairs in the event of user-error.
