Pilot Custom Heritage 92/Nib Questions

[jzuzphreek]

So, I'm making a birthday wishlist on Elfster for my wife to have some options. I'm trying to keep the range of each gift at around the $100 point. The Pilot Custom Heritage 92 is at the top of that list (available for $122 via Engika).My question is two parts.

1) Does the #10 FA nib fit the CH 92?​

2) If so, can the nib be purchased separately?​

Bonus Question) If 1&2 are both true, where could one find the nib for sale?​

I can't help with the interchangeability, but as far as I know, the Pilot nibs aren't sold separately without the pens.

I see. Which of the stock CH 92 nibs would have the most spring/character?

If you specifically want the FA nib, you would have to order a 912 or 823 I believe, unless things have changed since that last time I was looking at the options.

Hear are the options that I looked at before. You have a lot of options with the 912, or a 91.

Contact Engeika? His English seems pretty good.

I have a Pilot CH91, and it has easily become one of my favorite pens. Mine has a fine-medium nib, and I think it's fantastic. I think the only difference is that the 92 is a piston filler and isn't available in the same range of colors as the 91. Both should have a relatively small nib, but mine has a little spring to it. No where near semi-flex, though. Maybe check out a Pilot Falcon if you're looking for some (semi)flex.

The 92 is a smaller nib size then the number 10 while it does have many nib options the FA is not one of them,
and the soft options are really only available on the 91 so you may have to ask Taizo or someone else if they can sell those into the 92

for the record its a number 5 size

Lots to think about. Gotta keep this easy for SWMBO, and somewhere near $100

Just getting a CH 92 with whatever nib size you prefer is a great way to get a foolproof daily writer!
