    Default Nibmeisters, Will Plumix Nibs Fit Metropolitans & Knights?

    Basically the title says it all. Can a nib be pulled from a Pilot Plumix and fit in a Pilot Metropolitan or Knight? They all look pretty similar to me. I just picked up a Knight and would like to try a Plumix stub in it, if it will work. I also have a Metro that could benefit from the same swap. I have a bunch Plumix stub pens around on hand.

    I have no idea what a Knight is, but I can say for a fact that the Plumix/Metro swap is as easy as pie. You can do the same thing with the Pilot Penmanship and get an XF nib into your Metro by doing so. I've fit three Metros with the Plumix nibs, because I like a bit of italic in my writing. Turns it into the best $23.00 pen money can buy.

    A knight is like a heavy duty version of a metropolitan.

    It's the same nib as the rest (Metropolitan, Cocoon, MR, Plumix, Prera, Penmanship, 78G, etc)

    Ah thank you gentlemen, you've made me very happy. The Knight is actually a discontinued pen. I fell in love with it over a year ago and decided I better bite the bullet because they are beginning to get a bit thin on the market. I think Pen Chalet has the best price on them by a good bit, except for maybe something on ebay.
