Simple Fountain pen with a needle point nib

[duke851]

I made this one from two Woodcraft Tie die blanks. I tried to keep it very simple since the blank was anything but. I tried using a M13 x .75 thread for the body to cap and was very pleased with the result.

The nib is a Jowo #6 Steel EF I purchased from Franklin Christoph and is ground by Mike Masuyama to a needle point. This nib is fantastic, It writes beautifully and on nice paper gives a very thin line (photo is on copy paper at work and doesn't do it justice)

I dig that pen.

My wife will be getting a nib ground like that for Christmas. She really like a fine point nib.

I like the pen and Mike does great work. Met him a few years ago in Little Rock.

A winner for sure!

Very nice indeed. I really like the shape and the fact that you used a different color for the finials and at the thread of the cap. It really sets the pen apart for me at least.

Some very clean threading happening here...attention to the little things are what make a great writing instrument!


Well done!!
