Polished stainless steel #5 nib, made in Germany by JoWo and engraved with the original Goulet Pens “GP” ink splatter logo. This nib will fit most fountain pens that accept a #5 size nib; the feed and housing are not included.

We are unable to install our nibs on any pens when you order. We’re authorized dealers for all the products we carry, and changing out parts of a pen with another brand’s nib (even our own) voids the warranty on that pen. You will need to do this yourself, though you can reference our video or email us if you have any questions about it.

Nice work!

I managed to injure my TWSBI Eco within an hour of owning it by taking apart the pen a little too enthusiastically. The feed was recoverable but the nib tines were misaligned. It worked, but it was scratchy and unpredictable. I swapped in the Goulet Medium nib today and couldn't be happier. I'd shied away from points finer than medium, and this one is a finer medium that I've seen on LAMY or Platinum pens I own and I really like it! It makes me want to give finer nibs a try as I think my assumptions about how I like to write may be all wrong and based in my experience with ballpoint gel pens. Looking forward to many years of letters with this one :)

First order

I love this company! They had the item I needed at a reasonable price. The packaging was amazing and they sent a thank you card for a more personal feeling. Great store!

Smooth, Soft, a Little Wet Nib

I recently bought an Ohto Tasche, and the nib was absolute garbage. I mean, it was truly horrendous. I tried everything from smoothing to bending, but the nib still was awful. In an final act of desperation, I turned to the fine folks at Goulet Pens, and I bought this nib. When it came, I was extremely pleased with this purchase. In fact, I would call it one of the top 5 best items sold on Goulet Pens. The nib looks nice, and is very smooth. It has a little flex, and I can get some nice line variation, even though it isn't meant to be a flex nib. It is a little on the wetter side, in the best way possible. The extra fine size was between 0.5 and 0.7mm with Noodler's Black on printer paper. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to replace a cheap nib, or someone just wanting to try out a different tip size. I have since bought several more of these in various sizes to give out to friends who have complained about their nibs.

Fits great with my TWSBI ECO

Fits perfectly with my TWSBI ECO. I couldn’t really find a replacement nib until I found Goulet Pen Company. I would definitely buy from them again

Bought two of these...

Bought two of these in Extra Fine: one for a brand new TWSBI (where the shop I bought it from only had them available in a Broad nib), and the other to test on a Kaweco Perkeo/modify for use in a vintage Pilot pen I own. When I tested the first one on the Perkeo, I liked how it wrote, but I switched back to the orignal Fine nib. Still, I was surprised to notice that it wrote a bit differently than my Opus 88 Mini, which also has a Jowo #5 EF nib.

After modifying that same first nib for my vintage Pilot pen (which has a similar nib form), I was then surprised to see how lightly it dispersed ink from the feed in comparison to the original Pilot nib--which was fine, but took away from the vibrancy of certain inks.

In using the second nib with the TWSBI, it felt like a perfect switch from the original Broad nib! Not sure what factors into it, but even with a small tip, I can still see some shading characteristics of the inks I use when writing.

The product performs effectively with standard photocopy paper

The product performs effectively with standard photocopy paper. The extra-fine nib exhibits a minor degree of scratchiness. There is no evidence of feathering. I recommend this product for student use. Please note that it is not fully compatible with the TWSBI Echo.

Quality nibs that give you options.

Thanks to these comments, i got confirmation that these Goulet nibs were a drop-in fit for the Faber Castell E Motion pen. Easy swap and back in business. Ill save the factory nib for when I track down a nibsmith.

Hassle free

Hassle free, great tip, a good way to adapt a new pen that only comes with one size nib to your own preference.

I purchased this nib in Broad. It fit my Jinhao 82 well, and writes a nice, thick line.

Goulet has the best broad nibs I have ever tried. I believe that these #5 nibs are made in Germany.

Outstanding nib!

I needed a nib for my Pilot Custom 74 that didn’t skip and write unreliably. This Goulet nib was a perfect replacement!

Works in Opus 88 Koloro.

I bought this to fit into my Opus 88 Koloro with a stock fine nib. I was able to unscrew the feed, pull out the stock Fine nib, and slip this one into the feed, to make a stub nib, which is not an option in that model. Thus far it's working well for the Koloro. I'm currently using it with J Herbin Eclat de Saphir without problems.

Good replacement nib

I had a troublesome nib in a Faber-Castell pen and replaced it with a #5 Goulet nib. Was fine out of the box and continues to work well.

Good stub nib

This is a good no 5 size stub. It works great in my Jinhao 51A to provide an upscale writing experience in a budget pen.

Great for Levenger True Writers

I love these - I've bought 4. Every time I buy a Levenger True Writer, I replace the nib with this, as a Levenger 'fine' point is basically medium-wide and produces way too thick a line for my purposes. These are so easy to pop in that, after learning how with the first pen, my husband hands me my new-nib pen in less than two minutes. These stay nice too.

These are good, reliable aftermarket nibs

I'm sure that I have already made a review on these Goulet (Jowo) nibs. These are great for replacing a damaged nib or augmenting with a different nib style. I have purchased a number of these and have never been dissatisfied.

This nib in particular was purchased for a Faber-Castell E-Motion that my son has that was dropped, to be used until we can get the original to a nibsmith to be realigned.

jinhao + goulet nib = daily writer

Excellent. I'd bought a jinhao 92 & wasn't happy with the nib performance. I swapped the nib for a goulet #5 & am much happier now & use this pen almost daily at my job. Thanks!
