Why Replace a Nib? – Swap, Upgrade, Customize
Over time, fountain pen nibs may wear down, misalign, or simply not suit your evolving writing style. A replacement nib lets you refresh your pen without replacing the entire instrument. It's also the easiest way to experiment with new writing styles. Whether you’re trying out a finer tip or exploring creative grinds.

FAQs about Replacement Fountain Pen Nibs
What size is the most common fountain pen nib?
The most common is the #6 nib, which fits many mid to large-sized fountain pens.
Can I change the nib on my fountain pen myself?
Yes. Most nib units are friction-fit and can be swapped by hand, though we recommend doing so carefully or consulting brand-specific instructions.
Do JoWo and Bock nibs fit the same pens?
The nibs themselves may be similar in size, but the housings are different. Always check nib compatibility with your pen brand.
What's the best nib size for everyday writing?
Medium (M) is the most versatile, but fine (F) or extra-fine (EF) is better for small handwriting or note-taking. Broad (B) and specialty grinds are great for bold, expressive writing.
Where are JoWo nibs made?
JoWo nibs are made in Berlin, Germany, and used by many premium pen makers worldwide.
