As Penwash and others said...you can change the nibs in an inked pen, if you hold them nib upward. Just keep in mind that the unit you are removing will be inky and have a safe spot for it immediately.
When changing nibs, if I am having trouble 'getting a grip' on the nib unit and turning it,
I use a palm sized square of Grip Non-Adhesive Shelf Liner (it's that rubbery, nubbly stuff) to gain purchase on the nib assembly. I use the same stuff to grasp nibs in my dip nib holders in order to remove them or get a hold of lids on jars to open them. Keep in mind you are not 'forcing' something...just helping to get a grip on it.
...a strip of this stuff works well to keep your pens from rolling round on your desk too, but I digress.
Yes the Copperplate is not for casual writing and should be treated as a dip nib in regard to the pressure and speed with which you write.
None the less...welcome to EstieWorld.
