The 'Serpent Sequel' prototype nib. EF on the regular side, reversible to an adjustable BB, variable via writing angle. Inspired by the Nagahara Cobra nibs, this two-layered welded nib gives the illusion of a nib emerging underneath the main nib.
- Featuring 2 stacked steel nibs
- EF when writing normally, BB when writing ‘reversed.’
- Standard international converter compatible.
-
Individually handcrafted.
This nib design is one from the past. Several years ago, I used to achieve a similar silhouette by literally understacking a nib under the main nib. This, however, lead to flow issues and instability while writing, so I developed an over-stacking method to achieve the same shape, but through different means. Using such methods, this nib is an exploration in function, form, and style.
Like the Sequel, the Serpent Prototype was made with both writers and artists in mind; able to deliver fine lines or broad-brush strokes without the user needing to swap out pens.
A truly bespoke writing experience.
The Serpent Sequel.
Compatible with all pens that accept a JoWo #6 screw-in housing unit.
This includes fountain pens from companies like: Edison Pens, Franklin-Christoph, Opus 88, Newton Pens, Desiderata Pens, and many, many more.
[NOT compatible with Bock nib systems, Jinhao, Nahvahlur, TWSBI, Monteverde, or Conklin]

Please Note
The nib comes as a unit, including the feed and housing. It is installed by screwing the unit into the pen body. It is highly recommended that you do not remove the nib from the feed. The "breather" at the end of the ebonite feed is extremely fragile and is easy to accidentally break when removing the feed from the housing. Replacement feeds cannot be provided.
Please be mindful of your writing pressure.
They are not meant to be flexed or to be used heavy-handedly, and have the potential to irreparably "spring" if pushed too far, which will destroy the nib. I cannot offer refunds, replacements or repairs in the event of user-error.
