Osprey Pens introduces Jowo compatible special grind nibs: Broad Right Oblique and Broad Left Oblique
Oblique: An Oblique tip is where a conventional rounded tip (like in a Standard Size 6 Broad nib as an example) is ground flat at an angle of 15 degrees. If the angle is made from top right to lower left, the nib is a Left Oblique (think of the shape of your left foot and hence also called Left-foot Oblique), and if the angle goes from top left to lower right then it’s a Right Oblique (also referred to as a right-foot oblique) nib.
Left Obliques are most comfortable for right handers. Expect the line widths to be more subtle. The rotation of the pen in the fingertips is key. If you are right-handed, rotate the grip section (and thus the nib) towards your thumb. This position keeps the flat edge of the nib properly on the paper as you write. Similarly, if you are left-handed, rotate the grip section (and thus the nib) towards your pinky finger.
When using a right oblique, reverse the grip position by rotating to the right.
These Nib Unit works with pre-filled ink cartridges or with bottled ink using a generic international converter.
These units will not fit into Osprey Scholar, Milano or Madison fountain pens, as they are made specifically to match a JOWO thread pattern.
This time I bought a Milano and a total of 4 other nibs. Everything is in good condition. The only exception is that this ob/L will break the ink at a certain angle, and the set is not sure if it was sent to me in the wrong size. I chose #6 but its threads didn’t match the milano I bought.
Hello, thank you for the feedback. You bought a Jowo-compatible Nib Unit, which will not work in the Osprey Milano that you also purchased. I think you made a mistake while choosing the nib unit during the order process, by picking a Jowo-compatible unit, instead of an Osprey Nib Unit. Pls call us or write to us, and we can help resolve your issue pretty easily. Thanks.
