One Pen, Many nibs: Choice of Additional Nibs:

Keeping in line with the Osprey philosophy of interchangeable nib units, a wide variety of nib units are offered below that will work with this pen.  Click on the hyperlinked choices to learn more about the nibs.

  • Choose from Osprey Regular Size 6 nib units in Steel or 2Tone. All Regular nibs used for everyday writing, come with a plastic feed and accept international standard converters or pre-filled ink cartridges, giving you the flexibility to use either bottled ink or pre-filled ink cartridge. The pen is fitted with an Osprey custom converter by default and is packaged in a premium pen box.
  • #6 Steel  Economical Special Grinds such as the Architect Broad, Architect BB, Zoom BB, Broad Left-Oblique or Broad Right-Oblique, Broad-Stub or Double Broad Stub. Similar to the Regular Size 6 nibs, the Speciality Grind nibs also accept international standard converters or pre-filled ink cartridges, giving you the flexibility to use either bottled ink or pre-filled ink cartridge or use with Osprey custom converter. 
  •  #5.5 Ultra-flex, #6 Ultra-flex (second generation), Zebra G or Titanium Ultra-flex assemblies:  Ultra-flex (UF) nibs are for ardent calligraphy users! You can purchase these as complete assembly for a seamless plug & play experience, or buy just nib units to swap. The assembly consists of an ultra-flex nib unit of your choice, which threads into the Outer Section of the pen, and comes with an Osprey converter. Only fountain-pen friendly inks  are recommended to avoid clogging the feed.

All ultra-flex and Zebra G nib units come with ebonite feed. Size 5.5 Ultra-flex, Zebra G Flex and Titanium Ultra-flex are non-cartridge type, meaning they do not take any prefilled ink cartridges or international converters. They are made to work with custom Osprey converters. Size 6 Ultra-flex nib units (second generation) on the other hand, take both, cartridge or  converter, which means you can use prefilled ink cartridges or use bottled ink.

    If you choose #5.5Ultra-flex or Zebra G flex nib-units/assemblies, be sure to add a nib-block kit , if you don't already have one. You can download a maintenance guide that helps in easy disassembly and assembly, when the feeds get clogged over time with use. The nib block does not accommodate size 6 nibs, you will instead need to use the grip provided in the kit for disassembly and assembly.

    Inexpensive, legit pointed flex pen, use the right ink

    I ordered this after struggling with some conversions to put a 'G' nib in something else. It's nice to have a purpose-built nib unit such that everything fits together correctly. And, it's hard to find something with a legitimate pointed flex nib for doing styles like Spencerian cursive. (There are other options for fine, EF, etc.)

    I do find it's pretty sensitive to which ink I use. The Noodler's Black that comes with the pen works well but TBH it's pretty boring. Lamy Blue and Diamine Sherwood Green both had a tendency to dry and clog and Platinum Carbon Black was pretty bad. Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses is working really well and looks great.

    I also find I have to be careful with the converter. If I run the piston all the way to the bottom, the spring tends to get stuck on the seal. Probably doesn't matter that much with something as wet as Noodler's, but...

    BEAUTIFUL PEN!

    I have been so pleased with Osprey Pen’s products, and this pen is no exception! I have multiple Milano pens and this is my first Scholar. It is extremely comfortable to hold and use, beautiful rich color and design. Writing and drawing with it is a joy, Osprey Pens just keeps me coming back for more!

    Nice pen..

    Love the looks, love how it writes (with Zebra G nib). I even bought another one in different color.
    But I got the custom converter leak on my first one and they dont sell the custom converter, so I emailed them and they want me to call them before they can send me the replacement.
    I hope there are no more leaks, because it is not so convenient to get a replacement custom converter if you need one.
    Still love the pen though.
