Dentist (Soft Architect)

Reminiscent of the Architect nib, the Dentist nib stands out for its softer feel, providing a smoother writing experience with minimal feedback and reduced scratchiness. It's excellent for everyday writing tasks. Thin on the down stroke and wide on the side stroke.

Bilateral (Fude Italic)

This unique nib, known as a Fude Italic, is expertly shaped from a 1.1 nib. It offers versatility with its double-sided design, featuring a Fude style on one end and an Italic style on the other.

Fude Nib

Fude means 'bent' in Japanese. These are specialized nibs bent at the tip to give it a curved or rounded surface area.

Fine Italic

A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and notetaking. Fine Italic has fewer line variations and is great for small handwriting.

Medium Italic

A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and notetaking. Still a very common nib with more line variations.

Broad Italic

A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and notetaking. Almost the best line variations.

Double Broad Italic

A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and big handwriting. The best line variation. Compare to 1.1 standard nib IBB has more line variation and more feedback.

Oblique Medium

Allows for one that rotates their pen slightly. Standard 15 degree oblique.

Oblique Broad

Allows for one that rotates their pen slightly. Standard 15-degree oblique.

Oblique Double Broad

Allows for one that rotates their pen slightly. Standard 15-degree oblique.

A Beautiful Nib

I ordered this replacement JoWo #6 nib for my Esterbrook Estie and it’s absolutely perfect. It fits perfectly and it buttery smooth to write with. Thank you, I will definitely order again and would recommend ☺️

Jowo nibs are great!

I ordered 2 replacement nibs one in F and one in M. Both were very nice writers and fit my Montegrappa Marshmallow pen. The price was very reasonable. A note: the nib housing was just ever so slightly too large for my Esterbrook Esties. It fits as partially screwed in but I was afraid of damage so I didn’t force it. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the price and quality. Fast shipping too. Pictured with my beloved Magnum Opus in black leather

JoWo Nib - Dentist

This fit perfectly in my Estie as an option for a different nib grind! I bought this as a "second try" with a Dentist nib (I previously got a Galen Kaweco with the Dentist grind but it can be a little finnicky with most papers) and have been really enjoying using it. It's been great particularly for my lighter inks, as it can lay various line thicknesses and really helps bring out shading in inks! May also be useful for artists for the different line thicknesses, and ability to lay down large areas of ink!

Came packaged in a plastic "test tube" with a stopper - this offers some protection, but for peace of mind it may be advisable to add extra padding since the nib is still able to shake around in transit.

Dentist Nib writes like a dream!

I ordered the new Dentist Nib from Galen and am delighted with it. It reminds me of a soft architect nib with the variety of width and understated elegance of both kinds of nibs. Galen's service was, as usual, stellar. They are a favorite vendor and I will continue to buy their products.

Another happy customer

Purchased a replacement nib for a fountain pen that had issues and the new nib is great. Shipping was quick. Included some extra token godies in the box that showed an extra level of care. Very nice.

It's JoWo nib!

I was looking for JoWo nibs to replace my current pens' nibs and I found Galen Leather has offered them with a good price. I brought few of them. I am so happy with the quality. I also tried to replace Jinhao 100 and I was surprised it fit in, and the writing experience of Jinhao 100 has changed immediately. I am so happy with that.

Great for trying out new nibs

I’ve been wanting to try out a flex nib. This is a very economical way to try new nibs. Swapping them out was easy.

Great nibs

I love these nibs. Whenever I buy a fountain pen that has a nib I don't like, like a bock or even a jowo that's not a broad or double broad, I replace it with a Galen Leather nib. They have never let me down.

Just what I needed!

Excellent nibs with easy flowing feeds. Exactly what I had hoped for and at a reasonable price. I will definitely buy from Galen again.
