The Nibs Behind Wet&Wise: Craftsmanship, Quality, and Customization

At Wet&Wise, I believe that the fountain pen experience goes beyond just design and craftsmanship—it extends to the writing performance, which is deeply influenced by the nib. That’s why I use high-quality Jowo nibs, made in Germany, renowned for their precision and reliability. Whether you’re looking for a smooth writing experience or a more specialized nib, my pens are crafted to meet your expectations.

Why Jowo? The Gold Standard in Nib Manufacturing

Jowo nibs represent the pinnacle of German engineering. With meticulous precision, each nib is crafted to deliver a flawless writing experience, ensuring smooth ink flow without skipping or hard starts. Known for their consistent quality and long-lasting durability, Jowo nibs provide an excellent writing experience, whether you’re drafting letters or simply jotting down notes.

Wet&Wise Custom Engraved Nibs

At Wet&Wise, I offer Jowo nibs that have been engraved with the Wet&Wise logo, adding a touch of sophistication and craftsmanship. The logo signifies that each nib has passed my strict quality checks, ensuring both performance and aesthetic excellence.

Nib Options in Stock

Currently, I stock a range of polished steel and gold-plated steel nibs in the following sizes:

  • Extra Fine (EF): For those who prefer a precise, sharp line, ideal for small handwriting or detailed work.
  • Fine (F): A smooth, versatile nib that offers a bit more line thickness than the EF, perfect for daily writing.
  • Medium (M): The most popular option for balanced writing, providing a smooth and fluid line.
  • Broad (B): Best for those who prefer bold, expressive strokes.

Each of these nibs ensures a distinct writing experience, letting you choose the perfect one to match your personal style.

Custom Orders: 14k and 18k Gold Nibs

For those looking for an even more luxurious writing experience, I offer custom orders for 14k and 18k gold nibs. Gold nibs provide a softer and more flexible writing feel compared to steel, adjusting more to the pressure of your hand. This allows for greater responsiveness and a unique writing touch. If you’re looking for a more premium option, I can help you select and customize the perfect gold nib for your Wet&Wise pen.

Special Nibs: No. 8 Gold and No. 8 Titanium Nibs

In addition to my standard offerings, I also provide No. 8 Gold nibs and No. 8 Titanium nibs. These larger nibs are designed for those who seek something extraordinary in both style and performance.

  • No. 8 Gold Nib: Crafted from high-quality gold, these larger nibs offer even greater flexibility and smoothness, perfect for those who enjoy a luxurious writing experience. The softness of gold enhances line variation and provides a very tactile connection to the paper. Gold nibs are known for adapting to the user’s writing pressure, creating a more personalized flow with every stroke.

  • No. 8 Titanium Nib: The No. 8 Titanium nib is a fantastic option for those looking for a unique writing feel. Titanium offers a touch more flex than steel, while still being highly durable. It produces a slightly bouncy feel during writing, giving it a distinct softness that many writers enjoy. Its resilience and slight flexibility make it an attractive choice for those seeking a high-quality, long-lasting nib with a bit of personality.

These special nibs are available upon request, and I am more than happy to discuss the best option for your needs.

Flex Nibs and Stub Nibs: Custom and Negotiable Options

In addition to the standard and specialty nibs, I also offer Jowo Flex nibs with cut-outs and Stub nibs for those who want a more customized writing experience. Flex nibs allow for expressive line variation, perfect for calligraphy or artful writing. Stub nibs, on the other hand, create a distinctive, elegant look with broader horizontal strokes and thinner vertical strokes.

These nib styles are negotiable upon request, and I can source and fit the ideal nib type based on your writing preferences.

At Wet&Wise, I believe that the perfect fountain pen nib is as unique as your handwriting.
