Where do I find affordable nibs for the kit pens? I've looked at the gold nibs I think Heritage has, but adding a $75 nib to a $20 kit isn't the best economical sense.

Are there less expensive alternatives?

Go back to Heritage and look at the semiflex nibs. They write VERY well, and are $5 I think. Exoticblanks also stocks them.

For some reason I can't find anything like that on their site.

Edited: I found them at Exotic blanks. Am I correct that there are only 2 sizes of nibs, and that one or the other of them will fit all the 'kit pens' from various suppliers?

Thanks for the help.

Just so you know, the cheaper ones are steel nibs, that's why there is a large price difference. If you want the 18k gold nib, then $75 is a good price. If you just want the look of a custom nib, then grab the cheap ones, they write very well.

I assume you folks agree that they write better than the nibs in the kits?
 
honestly there are those that can't tell the difference between any of the three with good ink in them. There are others that swear by one or another. All I can say is try one and see for yourself. The Semi Flex are a small enough investment, the 18k's.... not so much.

Just make sure you throw the stock ink cartridges in the trash, that's all they are good for.

Thanks Lou, I talked to you on the phone last week. I already have some of the large and small on the way from you.

By the way, I needed one right away to send a pen to someone. When I told him about the SF steel nibs he was excited.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys
