Nakaya Nibs
We offer the entire range of Nakaya
nibs from Extra-Extra-Fine to Extra Broad. Please note that Nakaya nibs run finer
than any other nib we know about - the Medium
Nakaya runs about a half-size finer than the Pelikan or Bexley Medium. We find that this Medium Nakaya nib is a great compromise between the finer and less smooth tips and an ideal size for everyday note taking. The Medium and Fine nibs are also available in flexible "Soft" versions, and the Fine Soft in particular is highly suitable for John's popular Spencerian customization.
1. Super
Extra Fine, 0.10mm. Especially suited for fine numbers and characters,
suitable for bookkeeping. Requires light touch.
2. Extra Fine, 0.18mm. For fine numbers and
characters, suitable for students' note taking. Light touch recommended
3. Fine, 0.28 mm. For
general fine characters, suitable for students' note taking.Also available in flexible Soft.
4. Medium, 0.49mm. Smooth writing, suitable for general writing. Also available in flexible Soft. At no additional charge.
5. Broad, 0.60mm.
Suitable for manuscript, address writing.
6. Extra Broad, 1.00mm. Suitable
for those who love broad writing.
7. Music Nib, 1.15mm. For an additional $80.00 for the single
tone and $125 for the two-tone we can provide the double slit music nib. It is
much like a stub with a generous ink delivery.
Nakaya has created three new nib plating colors to match the trim colors (clip, etc.).
Above from the left, the ruthenium color, pink gold color, and rhodium color ( all plated).
The core material of each nib is the same as the regular Nakaya 14K gold nibs.
The additional cost for the special plating is $40.00

*A large part of the way a pen writes will be governed by the way the nib is set with the feed in the section. There are more dynamics involved in the ultimate writing qualities of a nib than simply tip shape and smoothness. It's all about the slit, not only from end to end, but from top to bottom. It can be tricky and challenging. If we are not doing the set-up, we cannot guarantee the performance of the nib.
Nakaya prefers that we create the Stub, Italic, and Oblique nibs for their pens. If you would like a customized nib, we will make them from the Nakaya stock nib.
The additional charge is $55.00.
We also offer additional customizations
to Nakata nibs, including re-tipping to large sizes and increasing flexibility.
Because
the Nakaya cartridge has a large opening, and the connection to the feed is also
large, this cartridge/converter system is not plagued with the ink delivery problems
sometimes found on pens that employ a smaller fitting.
