EPISODE 9: INTRO TO NIBS FROM CHINA AND INDIA

Continuing our discussion of modern nibs, in this episode we look at fountain pen nibs coming from brands in China and India, the pens they come in, and the ability to swap Chinese and Indian nibs with each other and their German analogs. We will talk about reasons you might want to swap in components from JOWO and Bock. We will also take a look at Indian Eyedropper pens, and talk about where else you might be finding Chinese and Indian nibs these days.
