Calligraphy nibs

[brownsfn2]

Anyone know where I can find a 2B (1.6mm) calligraphy nib? It can be a #5 or a #6. The customer has not picked the pen style yet.

I can locate a 1.5, 1.9, and 2.3 but not a 1.6. Do you guys that do calligraphy think this is a big difference between 1.5 and 1.6?

Thanks for the help!

Get the 1.5 nib. I really doubt your customer or I could tell the difference between the two. Also never heard or seen a production 1.6 nib, my guess if your customer is that picky, it would have to be custom ground.

Where can you find the 1.5, 1.9, and 2.3mm nibs? I would love to make a kitless pen with a calligraphy nib but can't find much.
