I guess I will be blunt about this.

Is there somewhere that you can order nibs from, say 5 or so at a time, that won't run 20 dollars a piece? I've got my parts list for going kitless and I go to look at these nibs (Meister 6's) and got a bit of a shock. Are these nibs much better than the Heritence pieces?

I would like to use the Meister 6 nibs and sections, but not necessarily straight from the source. I'd like to get a few at a time and not break my measly piggy bank!

Thanks guys.

CHeck with both Exotics and Indy Pen dance to see what they have left in Heritance nibs and feeds. However you will still need to find the taps. I carry a tap that will fit the #5 size and Indy Pen Dance carrys the 6.4x.5 but you will have to find a used tap for the number 6 size. 8.4x.75. This is false economy though because Heritance nibs and feeds are disappering and you will end up having to change over when they are gone. You could always order the El Grande kits and use that front section with a m10 x 1 tap if thats a cheaper route to take.
 
Awesome. I am going to order everything to make my own sections, but knowing that I can order the pieces together to get started is good news! I can use them for a while until I feel good about being able to sell pens tha have 40+ dollars in them on my end.

I will be using the m10x1 tap/die so I will order the El Grande sections.
 
You can get Jowo nibs (high quality German made - like Bock) from Meisternibs.com from Brian Gray - maker of Edison Pens. You buy a #6 for $20 a pop. I think the #5 are a little cheaper, though.
 
I've been using El Grande sections/nibs ... but it forces you to m10x1.
As I have a m12x.8 triple start for the cap, this is a *thin* margin for threading.

Glad you posted this. I need to move on the Schmidt's (tap, RB nib, FP nib/feed) so I can make smaller diameter sections.
 
I use m10 x .75 inside the m12 almost all the time. In both my metal or wood pens. THey hold up to most use except putting them in your front pocket and sitting down.
