Hello.

I do drawings like this one (1) I have two fude nib fountain pens: Hongdian pen with converter and bent nib 0.5-1.2mm (2 left) Inkursive Manga pen (2 right)

I love my Hongdian pen, but the ink capacity is limited compared to the inkursive. (3) The inkursive has a greater ink capacity but its nib is shorter and less useful to me. (4)

I'm looking for a fountain pen that would combine the ink capacity of the Inkursive and the amazing bent nib of the Hongdian.

Can you point me in the right direction?

@Rhaxapopouetl also, Wing Sung 698 takes #5 nibs, so you can move your fude from your Hongdian to that pen and it should work fine.

@Rhaxapopouetl Wing Sung 601 I believe has a fude nib option and very large ink capacity. PenBBS has a calligraphy No. 25 nib which is a small fude, and would fit their piston fillers (I use the 456 and 495). I believe Sailor Fude de Mannen can be eyedroppered for more ink capacity.

Thank you for both of your answers! I'm trying to find where i could buy or get more info about those pens (i'm in europe, it's a bit trickier than i thought)

@Rhaxapopouetl ah— fude nibs are a bit tricky in Europe, not many places carry them. Etsy might be an option, they recently started charging VAT for Europeans, so you shouldn’t have any import issues. Some stores to look at are esybuy, ChinesePen, and PenBBSOfficialStore.

@Rhaxapopouetl @penfount Esterbrook has a fude with piston on their Jurassic model. It’s not a cheap pen though.
