You should pin a comment here noting that the standard Kaweco 060 nib unit can be used with this pen, so it's very simple to get any nib size you like, including EF, F, M, B, and BB. in gold-colored, silver-colored and black options from a number of retailers who offer them!

As someone in that 12% it's always astonished me that everyone always wants to write bigger. 😂 It's prettier for Instagram when it's bigger but for every day writing I'd rather be able to fit a larger amount of writing in the same space.

Ditto. I have a handful of larger nibs to show off certain inks, but my natural handwriting is too small for them; I have to purposefully write larger to keep my letters from running together. I've slowly adjusted up to a F nib for normal writing with a fountain pen, but still use an EF when I'm taking quick notes for myself during meetings. And rare gel/ballpoint use is still with micro fine tips.

The extra fine nib choice makes sense since it's meant to be an edc pen. If you're carrying it around it's more likely to come into contact with crappy paper that works better with an EF nib

I think that, for a pocket pen, only selling it with an ef nib makes sense! Given the context as a pen designed to be brought out into the world, it's reasonable to expect one would be using this on less than ideal papers; which, at least in my opinion, is better suited to an EF nib that'll be less prone to feathering due to reduced ink flow.

i think the "EDC" id the reason it's extra fine - if it's supposed to be everyday carry then you'd be expecting to use it on all sorts of low quality paper out in the wild, and a lot of papers can't handle the amount of ink that comes out of larger-tipped nibs.

Thanks for another no-nonsense review. However, I have to take issue with your suggestion that the price is not out of line. With all the really good pocket pens on the market now, including many for substantially less, this one seems a bit pricey. Especially since the grooves in the section require special care to avoid inked fingertips. Further, since it appears the surface of the section is not slick in the least, I have to wonder if the grooves are even necessary.

I suspect that the EF nib choice has to do with cost. Bock probably had a load of EFs lying about or something. Either way, you can always replace them with another nib. I'm more worried about the air seal since it's a metal on metal snap cap.

Well when it comes to nib only being available in ef, you have to look at the customer base the company is aiming at. And that is definitely not the fountain pen people. It is the EDC people that are often focused around pocket knives, guns and accessories. Actually the community I come from, where most people use nice rollerballs/gel pens, which is what this company mostly sells. And those people definitely do not want a thick line and they do not care about ink or how it looks better out of a wider nib.
