Jowo #6 Nib Unit - 18k Gold

A Star in My Collection

I’ve been extremely pleased with this JoWo #6 18k gold nib. The nib itself has the smoothness and feel I was hoping for from 18k gold, but the custom work performed by Kirk Speer at Pen Realm is what turned it into something genuinely special.

This wasn’t simply a nib purchase it was an investment in having a nib tailored to exactly what I wanted. Between the 18k gold nib, the custom grind, and the craftsmanship involved, there was certainly time, effort, and expense involved. After writing with it, I can say it was absolutely worth all three.

I own and use a number of quality fountain pens and nibs, and this one has become a star in my collection. It has its own personality and provides a writing experience that a standard factory nib simply doesn’t offer.

Excellent work by Kirk and Pen Realm. I would not hesitate to have another nib customized by him.

Nib unit and architect grind have made my Stanford studios fountain pen a favorite in my collection! Kirk’s work is always stellar!! Thanks Kirk and Pen Realm!!

I ordered this nib for a custom fountain pen and had Kirk engrave my custom logo on it. The engraving turned out great. The lines are clean, sharp, and nicely done. The nib itself writes beautifully and performed exactly as expected. I'm really happy with both the look and the performance. The turnaround time was also surprisingly fast, and delivery was just as quick. Overall, a great experience. I'll definitely be shopping at Pen Realm for future custom projects.

Beautiful nib with another amazing grind from Kirk Speer. Lovely!!

Absolutely gorgeous and lovely nib!! I got a round nosed cursive italic grind and Kirk did a wonderful job! I put this nib on my special, favorite pen. I’m so happy Pen Realm offers the rhodium plated option as it’s so pretty!! I highly recommend!
