Great replacement nib

I've enjoyed JoWo nibs in the past, and this EF didn't disappoint. Used it to rescue a PenBBS bulkfiller that was writing way too wetly. This nib behaves excellently in the pen, and is true to the labeled line width. Tines were well aligned. Ran it briefly across a tri-grit smoothing stick to reduce a little feedback, and it's writing on par with my finest steel nib pens. Glad I made the small investment in this nib to return this pen to my normal rotation.

With an EF nib, you've almost got to expect some feedback, right? This is an extra fine nib. But I'm impressed with the quality and the amazing difference that the AP nibs can make when swapped into a cheap pen. Kudos to AP for offering these at a very fair price!

Great EF nibs but...

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!

Replacement nibs can change everything

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....

Super smooth and consistent

I ordered a number of the different Anderson #6 nibs and tested them all (so this review is being copied for each). All fit right in on my various pens that use the #6 nibs (Conklin, Monteverde, and others. All went right to work, smooth on the paper, producing lines that were as expected for the different styles and widths. One request / suggestion I have is that Anderson could offer its nibs in italic styles finer than 1.1 (e.g. in the 0.5-0.8 range). The italic effect is nice to have in smaller writing where a 1.1 or 1.5 is just to broad.

Smooth as glass and brings the class

I got this to replace the nib on my Jinhao 159. This is a perfect EF nib and writes like a dream. Easily swapped out my pen was writing in less than 5 minutes, no more scratchy writing and matches the "silver" accents on the pen perfectly!

EF Western Nib Works Great

The Anderson JoWo Extra Fine nib creates a Western EF line - between a Extra Fine to Fine line - depending on type of paper and ink. The design on the surface of the nib is cut deep to provide a beautiful relief. A perfect nib for the Delta LE Green fountain pen.

Nice lines

I put this nib in a Noodler's Neponset. I have written with Akkerman Simplisties Violet, and Akkerman's orange onTWSBI, Tomoe River, and Rhodia papers. Both inks glide rather nicely with this Anderson Pen EF nib. There was no need to condition the nib.
