Sailor Nib Swap with Flexible Nib Factory Housing

[@ShaneFielder]

Great video. I did the same thing 3 months back and put my Sailor 21k nib into a custom pen from Tailored Pens. My challenge has always been that the length of a Sailor Pro Gear is too short for my hand. Now, I appreciate the sailor nib in a pen that fits my hand. It makes a big difference to the writing experience. Thank you for your helpful videos.

Awesome upgrade on a beautiful pen. Nice.

Ohhhhh. Now see, this is the kind of stuff I want to learn about.. how incredibly neat! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this!! I have a Sailor 21K all set to be harvested but have been a bit intimidated by the removal process. This was so helpful! Your Spalted Maple is a stunner.

Aw, thanks for watching! I hope you love the end result you create with yours!

Great job! I have never been brave enough to pull a Sailor nib, or any Japanese nibs. You have given me courage.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Yes, this was also my first Japanese nib - well, Japanese *gold* nib. I love the end result. I hope once you try it, it will all work out for you!

Your new Sailor nib may be smaller than the original Bock nib, but I still think it looks good. I recently got a Sailor Pro Gear with a medium-fine nib. It's my first 21k nib and I love it! Congratulations on the successful nib swap! 😀

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Nice, I'm glad you're liking your new Sailor. I don't think I notice the size of the nib anymore because the experience is so good. And it probably seemed small initially because I was so accustomed to seeing the Bock nib on the pen. Thank you for watching!

You make it look so easy! Too bad Sailor doesn't sell replacement nibs.

[@shaaron5488]

You are brave!! Now I have to try it!!

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

You can do it!

Oh, that is cool! I am putting one of the Jowo housings on my wish list! I did not like my Bock nib either until I got a cursive Italic + feedback grind from Annabelle. Now I love it! It is on the only pen I have bought that takes Bock. I have so many Jowo nibs that I think I will be sticking with pens that use Jowo. Don't want to have to buy a pen and a grind.

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Good call. Jowo has the greatest potential of swappability in my collection, too - which is why I have the Jowo housing for the future LOL! I have so many nibs I'd want ground at the SF Pen Show this year that I'll have to remove some from the list. I hope it works out for you when you are ready to make the swap!

[@Volkmannx]

Good for you! I'm going to do this with all my nibs that deserve a better body. By they way, size ratio of your pen and nib is still fine.

I did it for the Sailor PG M to my Zodiaco Pen Co Scorpio Jowo :) 😊😊😊

[@lifeinspiresdesign]

Nice! I can imagine that swap being sooo pleasant, Zodiac pens are just awesome!

[@stareenafraser]

@@lifeinspiresdesign yes indeed :)
