Nakaya Nibs

We can offer the entire range of Nakaya nibs from extra-extra-fine to broad. Please note that the Nakaya nibs run finer than any other nib, by name, than any we know about. This means that the medium Nakaya nib 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. It is a practical size for such things as check writing. Listed below as "Flexible Character", the factory made "soft" version of the medium and the fine nib can deliver some line width variation.
1. Super Extra Fine, 0.18 to 0.24mm. Especially suited for fine numbers and characters, suitable for bookkeeping.
2. Extra Fine, 0.24 to 0.28mm. For fine numbers and characters, suitable for students' note taking.
3. Fine, 0.28 to 0.34mm. For general fine characters, suitable for students' note taking.
4. Medium, 0.34 to 0.44mm. Smooth writing, suitable for general writing.
5. Broad, 0.44 to 0.54mm. Suitable for manuscript, address writing.
6. Extra Broad, 0.66 to 0.86mm. Suitable for those who love broad writing.
7. 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 trims 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

*Nakaya prefers that we create the Stub nibs for their pens. If you would like a Stub nib, we will be customizing 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.
