    Default Pilot nibs on Namiki Yukari

    I have several Namiki Yukari pens, all of which are raden pens. Although I love the aesthetics of them, I am rather bored with the writing experience offered by the standard F,M,B yukaris nibs (#10 I believe). I remember reading somewhere that the pilot #10 nibs will fit the yukaris. Can you confirm this is the case, and if so, do you swap out the entire nib unit (simple screw out, no technical fiddling required) or just the nib itself without the feed (which would be difficult for a technically inexperienced person)? Can you also advise where I can purchase these nibs without having to buy seperate pens? I am particularly interested in the WA, FA and soft nibs. Thank you very much!

    Have you considered sending them to a nibmeister? I am not aware of a place where you can get spare Pilot nibs as a consumer. The 18kt gold nibs on my Yukaris have been some of my favorites in terms of softness.

    If you find a place that sells loose Pilot nibs, please let me know.

    If you've dabbled in stubs and whatnot, I'd send that B (or maybe the M) to Mike Masuyama.

    Thanks for the advice guys. It was not possible to get a spare nib and I settled by just getting a Pilot custom 743 with an FA nib. Wanted to initially get a 823 with FA nib and contacted Japan Pen Shop Quill as I heard good words about them online- but they don't even bother replying to emails so passed.

    Dneal- I'll think about getting some of my yukaris nibmeistered. I used to get this done a lot when Richard and John were around but these days the turnaround time for any nibmeisters seems to be too long, and getting things shipped back and forth internationally doesn't help either.
