   !fpens slippery slope part 3:
   
   wait hmm i just remembered that the daedalus/icarus takes #6 nibs as well
   
   what if i just got JoWo nibs with PO and WA grinds and hope it feels about the same as the actual pilot nibs hmmmmmmm

     i'll try stuffing the jinhao nib into my daedalus some time later and see how it feels like before i commit to the purchase i guess

     imagine though. one of the pens with a G nib, and the other with a PO or WA nib
     
     …dang, i suspect that i won't even want a pilot custom 912 after this
     
     in fact i might even trim down my collection because i might not use the other pens as much

     i'll probably sell the two chinese pens, but one of them has a less than ideal flow and the other is a hude nib. dousiyou;;;

     hude nibs are incredibly non-intuitive. if i wanted brush strokes i'll reach for my kuretake anyway hmm

     @layakhan the hude nib is okay, it's just that i realized i have no use for it after i actually got to try it. i also have a parker aeromatic knockoff and a lamy 2000 knockoff that're pretty solid though

     the jinhao nib fits and it doesn't leak!!
     
     this is when i head over to fpnibs dot com and watch the price jump from 4.5 to 24.4 euros after selecting a WA regrind
     
     of course grinding costs money. silly me

     it's 19.4 if i don't put letters on the nib. well considering one is upturned and one downturned i probably don't need the marking to figure it out anyway

     frantically justifies purchase by pointing out that a pilot custom 912's msrp is >$200, and that's only one nib, whereas i just got two nibs and a flex pen

     @hfaust if the nibs work like the pilot ones i think i'm going to buy at most one more pen and i'm set for life. also i rarely buy any more ink nowadays
