Precision Exchange: Kolo Tino Replacement Fountain Pen Nibs
Maintain the flawless performance of your favorite everyday carry with the Kolo Tino Replacement Nib. Designed specifically for the Kolo Tino series—the triangular-bodied "sport" pen created by Tino Valentinitsch and Peter Dunn—these replacement units ensure your writing remains as sharp as the pen's industrial design.
Whether you are repairing a dropped pen or looking to experiment with a different line width, these German-engineered nibs offer the reliability and smoothness that have made the Tino a modern favorite among "impossibly creative" writers.
✨ Signature Features: German Engineering, Japanese Precision
Kolo Tino pens utilize high-quality components that are easily swappable, allowing for a customized writing experience.
-
Schmidt #5 Stainless Steel Nib: The Tino is equipped with a premium #5 nib manufactured by Schmidt in Germany. Known for their consistent ink flow and "out-of-the-box" smoothness, these nibs are the gold standard for reliable stainless steel performance.
-
Full Range of Sizes: While most Tino pens come standard with a Medium nib, replacements allow you to customize your line weight:
-
Extra Fine (EF): Ideal for technical drawing and those with tiny, precise handwriting.
-
Fine (F): A versatile daily driver for note-taking on standard paper.
-
Medium (M): The classic "standard" that offers a wet, smooth, and expressive line.
-
Broad (B): Perfect for showcasing shading and shimmering inks on premium paper.
-
-
Friction-Fit Assembly: The nib and feed are designed to be user-replaceable. While the Tino housing is precisely milled, the nib can be carefully pulled and swapped with the correct technique, allowing you to breathe new life into your pen body.
-
Corrosion-Resistant Steel: Finished in a polished silver tone, these nibs are designed to withstand long-term use with a variety of fountain pen inks, including high-saturation and iron-gall formulas.
-
Tapered Design Compatibility: These nibs are specifically selected to fit the unique geometry of the Tino’s grip section, ensuring perfect alignment with the pen's triangular facets.
🖋️ Why Keep a Spare Kolo Nib?
A replacement nib is the best insurance policy for a pocket-carried pen:
-
EDC Durability: Because the Tino is designed as an "Everyday Carry" pen to be thrown into bags and pockets, accidents can happen. A replacement nib allows for a quick fix without needing to replace the entire brass or aluminum body.
-
Ink Experimentation: Use a Broad nib for your favorite shimmer inks like Colorverse Glistening to prevent clogging, or switch to an Extra Fine for planning in a compact Hobonichi.
-
Consistent Performance: Over time, heavy-handed writing can "spread" a nib. Replacing the unit restores the pen to its original factory-fresh feel.
The Enthusiast’s Note: "I love that the Tino uses a Schmidt #5. It’s such a reliable nib that I don't have to worry about skipping. I swapped my Raw Brass Tino to a Broad nib, and it has turned into my favorite pen for testing out new boutique ink colors—it really lets the shading shine."
