Was always seeking a comparative video on these nibs. Good work.

My only real complaint about bock is they dont print the gauge on the nib?? fine/med/etc....

[am_ma]

I like Pilot nibs .(Very smooth writers especially the Medium size ones).

[MarcellHobbs]

Thank you for sharing and comparing the three manufactured nibs.

Good review. Just discovered the Schmidt fine nib on a Range Pen - by far the best nib I have, I would put Schmidt as No 1, then Bock, then Jowo

[jamesjacocks]

Very good demonstration of nibs. I’ve used some nibs from all three and the variability of the inking and smoothness overlaps enough that it’s a little hard to draw a conclusion. I can generalize more about Aurora nibs because there is so little variation. I tune the nibs I don’t completely like and German nibs are all capable of working very well. I think of them as a family of nibs.

Very informative....I wish you had compared a couple of Indian nibs like Kanwrite and Ambitious too

Thank you for making this video Great info for a newbie, into the fountain pen world, as myself🙂

I am not 100% positive, but I believe the first nib you show (on the Twsbi) is actually a Jowo nib and not a Bock Nib. While Twsbi used to use Bock nibs, they later changed to Jowo. I seem to remember the way to identify the difference is the marking for type (F, M, B etc..) – the Jowo places the mark on the top of the nib underneath the TWSBI lettering. The BOCK nibs have it on the left side of the nib by the T of Twsbi. Now this “MAY” only hold true for the #6 size nibs such as the Vac700 and may not be the case for the 580’s with their #5 nibs… I’m not positive.

Waterman nibs are the best(ST Dupont also comes to mind). Last but not least, some chinese nibs(especially the EF variety) are amazingly good and easily surpass western nibs, even the Japanese have a hard time keeping up.

Idk which one I like more! I want all of them 😅

[joelstatosky]

Quite frankly if we’re talking about 3rd party bib makers. Bock easily takes the win in every regard. This isn’t even about personal preference just the consistent quality, compared to Jowo. Schmidt isn’t even in the running. It’s really only a debate between bock and jowo

[vishwanath]

Do Parkers, Cross or Sheaffer manufacture their own nibs or are they also using from Bock, Jowo etc. Thanks.

second one pen is so cute which pen is this?

[mariatriesart]

Thank you, I just subscribed right now. Thank you for making this video, I love a Jowo nib, do twsbi use Bock?
What country do you live in? I am from Canada.

I'm partial to Bock....but, Schmidt makes a nice fine. Never tried other nib size in theirs. Jowo I find boring.

[rikoflishas]

do any of these nibs compatible with the Majohn P136?

[brettsmith]

I am about sure that you are backwards on Bock vs. JoWo. JoWo nibs are almost universally stiffer and smoother than Bock. TWSBI uses JoWo, not Bock.
