Anderson Pens own German-made #6 Extra Fine steel fountain pen replacement nib by JoWo can be used with any pen that has a #6 sized nib, including, but not limited to many Monteverde, Conklin, and Noodler's Ahab, Konrad, and Neponset.
The Anderson Pens EF nibs are great and write very smoothly after a little tweaking. I ordered 2 and both needed some smoothing out with micromesh since they skipped, railroaded and tore through paper even with a light touch. Very happy after the adjustments though!
The only part of the pen that touches the paper is the nib. Which makes the whole business of paying big bucks for brand name fountain pens a chump's game. eBay has Jinhao and various other pens for peanuts, mainly knockoffs of expensive Western pens. Even if you think that the nibs on the expensive pens are better than on the cheap pens, the solution is simple and obvious - replace the nib. You won't find a better thought-of nib than Jowo. Here it is for $20. What does the rest of the price for a Montblanc get you? Another reason for getting "replacement" nibs is that many Chinese pens come only with medium nibs. If you want something else, buy it here. Another online pen company sells the excellent German Nemosine nibs for even less than these. Considerably less. Putting a good quality German nib on a cheap well-made Chinese pen, enables us to get down to the real business at hand - accumulating a million colors of ink. And lovely leather-bound journals....
