I would prefer a non-cartridge filler. Regardless, I can't seem to locate any pocket pens with #6 nibs. I've only seen $5 nibs or smaller. Thanks.
Pocket pen with a #6 nib -- Does it exist?
I would prefer a non-cartridge filler. Regardless, I can't seem to locate any pocket pens with #6 nibs. I've only seen $5 nibs or smaller. Thanks.

Here are a couple. Both cartridge fillers, though.

Also the Ensso Piuma - the new ebonite version is very tempting

The Gravitas will just take a Kaweco converter, but not fully extended - it might take a squeeze version, which can sometimes work in even very small barrels.
I am a huge fan of pocket pens, but the Schon remains probably my favourite, in spite of the metal section, and is the one (along with a bunch of Petits) that is almost always in my bag. The others, particularly the Ensso, get regular outings in pockets.
I still have a lot of fun using my Kaweco sport/skylines though - I've fitted 1.1 or wider nibs to pretty much of all of them and it makes a huge difference to how they perform.

Absolutely look at the Schon pens. His pocket Ultem pens are designed to be tough and are made with eyedropping in mind, or cartridge if you prefer. They can be had with sections made for #6 nibs.

Thanks to everyone. I was unaware of these pocket pens. I'm just looking through each website. Initially, the Namisu collection is quite interesting (they have an ebonite option). They also have a pen with a pocket CLIP. I really like the #6 nibs on all these pens, whether Jowo or Bock.

Shawn Newton made one for me.

There is also the Franklin Christoph pocket model 20 (p20 for short). Can either use cartridge or convert to eyedropper.Originally Posted by Rin Tin Pen

Further to mizgeorge's post, ensso pens is definitely worth a look. I own a Piuma (titanium body and ti #6 nib) and it truly provides an enjoyable writing experience. It does sport, however, a cartridge filling system. Whether there are any converters that will work, I don't know. Also, it doesn't have a clip.
Ensso is taking pre-orders for a new pocket pen with a clip (and #6 nib) they call the Italia. It's quite a "looker," too.

Edison Beaumont has a #6 nib. Big for the pen, but I like it. IIRC, Brian doesn't use anything smaller than a #6 any more.
