Upgrade Nibs for PSI Graduate Pen

[greggas]

Hello All;

Fountain pens seem to be all the rage this year as I cannot make them fast enough. I always upgrade the Nibs with Hesitance, Bock, etc.

I have not been able to find an upgrade to the Nib that PSI supplies with their Graduate Fountain Pen. I was wondering if anyone here has had the same issue and had any luck locating this unusual size.

Thanks !

Greg who have you tried? I am about to make one tonight and haven't looked at the nib size yet, but I will have to check tonight.

Ray;

I Tried Heritance, and Bock. PSI does not offer an upgrade nor does Anyone who re-sells PSI. The nib is similar to a #5 at the tip, but the back end that fits around the feeder is wider and slightly different radius than the standard #5

This is a good question. Ive found you just need to replace the entire section. Waste of materials unfortunately.

Does anyone sell bulk sections plus feed?

You aren't the only one looking to solve this issue. I just commented on same issue in another thread or two.

Basically: no one knows of a direct upgrade that will fit without lots of work or modifications. I have tried to engage PSI pen technician directly, and he is trying to help, but has been mostly unsuccessful so far.

For the record, Allegory Pens (won't link their site but you can google them) is selling pens based on the Magnetic Graduate kit, and they offer a number of nib size options. Not sure how they manage that, but obviously they have solved this problem.
