I bought this to use it on my Jinhao as I was not that happy with nib they provide with the pen. I just swapped it with this beautiful workhorse nib and now it's just a lovely writer.
After ordering two faulty Kaweco nibs from two other online fountain pen shops, I decided to take a chance ordering a third nib from Appelboom, and boy, I'm so glad I did! My new EF standard Kaweco nib now writes as well as my beloved Pilot Decimo 14k gold nib. A hearty thank you to the kind, professional folk at Appelboom who double checked my nib before sending it out to me. Also appreciate the next day shipping. I will for sure be a repeat customer at this store.
I was surprised by how smooth the nib was. It is pleasant to use and I had no issues with starting and it never skipped. It was also very easy to attach to the pen. I am enjoying my Kaweco AL in vibrant violet now with an EF! Thanks Appelboom!
I do think that one of the reviews here is right kaweco nibs behave properly overtime but sometimes you do get direct results as well.
So you and nib has to travel long distance.
The best thing about kaweco nibs is that they are super easy to install and clean unlike other brands where either the feed is fixed cannot be removed or very difficult to remove.
I bought the replacement nib for my Kaweco Sport. A quick search on youtube shows how to install the nib on different types of Kaweco fountain pens. It’s an easy switch. Very happy with this replacement option, the nib is immediately fully functional.
I have purchased Kaweco replacement nib in EF from Appelboom using slowest and cheapest delivery within EU without tracking. I can say, that products were dispatched and delivered very fast, that is good to know. If you are using Kaweco pens, you know what to expect. At first few weeks nib skpis first letter because of suffering from babys bottom. But after some time of writing, paper will smooth nib out and you will get very smooth and reliable pen. So dont get upset of badly writing nib, it is part of experience.
Kaweco nib has well known issue; hard starting or baby's bottom.
I've already experienced hard stating with my kaweco F nib gold plated.
However, My 3 EF nibs works very fine.
The line width is very fine.
I didnt experience hard starting nor dryness nor bad flowness with EF nibs.
I ordered M nib this time, I hope I don't need any adjustment.
I've had good and bad experiences with Kaweco nibs bought from different sellers. Sometimes the nib will write well, sometimes it'll have issues from the start. The great thing about buying a spare nib from Appelboom is that I can trust them to sell me one that will write as it should.
Unlike my fellow reviewers that have written here under me I am totally in awe about the quality of the Kaweco nibs! No tuning necessary at all. Writing smooth as butter as soon as you ink them. I bought the F and M to complement my DIA2 with an EF nib and yes I'm totally happy with both.
To close my review I also want to ad that Appelboom's service is as always impeccable. Always a pleasure buying here,
