Review Title: Glad I got this nib

I was happy with the steel nib on my Pelikan M200 and wondered whether I'd really notice a difference if I got the 14k. I do. The 14k is smoother and wetter. Every nib is different, perhaps, but I'm glad I made the swap. The more I write with the 14k, the more I like it. One thing to note: the 14k writes broader. My 14k nib in fine writes as broad as my steel nib in medium.

I have mixed feelings about this nib. The looks are gorgeous, no doubt about it.
I thought that extra fine will be more fine than this. But I suppose the shape of the nib is partly to blame. It is shaped like a ball. There is one very little part at tip of the nib that needs to be placed on paper and then the line could be very fine. I should get a better lupe to find out about that.
But what was disappointing is that nib scratches a bit when pulled to the left. Hoped it would perform better than that. I can see why others have given high marks. I would also if not for that scratchy part.

At first I will like to thank Joost sir and his team for the superfast delivery ... Basically I bought two ef 14k nibs to upgrade the steel nibs of my m200 black and m205 green demonstrator...And I was basically amazed by the smoothness of the ef nib...And the nibs are true to their grade ...And in one word both the nibs are just fantastic...Hats off too pelikan ....

Not unsurprisingly, I am an ardent fan of the Pelikan Pen Co. Whether new or vintage, this manufacturer delivers, each & every time, & my latest acquisition from Appelboom, is without exception, superb. The nib designation is fractionally broader than described, but that said, does not detract from the long-standing performance (& history) of this incredible brand. The M400 14K Fine nib purchased was the perfect accompaniment to an older 400 series model fountain pen, & wrote crisply & cleanly, straight out of the box. . This particular nib, bi-coloured, was aesthetically pleasing, & performed without issue - & in these times of uncertaintly, one can always rely upon a German household name in writing instrumentation. Superlative stuff - & thank you, Joost, for prompt delivery & after sales service.

Review Title: Pelikan M400 nib B

I have been writing with Pelikan fountain pens for more than 20 years, especially the M805 series. The timeless stylistic elegance and the soft writing feel of the Pelikan nibs are unsurpassed for me. This also applies to my fountain pen from the M400 series, which I like to use on the go. I have already bought several Pelikan nibs from Mr. Appelboom and have always been very satisfied. So this time when I bought an M400 nib B. Shipping to Munich was extremely fast. The purchase process was uncomplicated and to my complete satisfaction. I can therefore only recommend Appelboom.

I bought this replacement nib for my pelikan m205 demonstrator pen.
I love the bicolor nib, the quality is great and it is very smooth.
The EF size is perfect for writing in my planner.

I like the fountain pens from Pelikan. And the 14 carat ones are very good nibs, They write smooth and have a few flex. The quality is very good.

Appelboom hat mir diese schöne Feder sehr speditiv gesandt, obschon ich eigentlich mit einer langen Lieferzeit rechnete. Die M-Feder ersetzt eine alte Goldfeder eines Souverän 400 aus dem Jahr 1982 - alles perfekt - Pelikanfedern schreiben immer, selbst günstige Schulfedern! Wunderbar weiches Gefühl beim Schreiben!

Review Title: I like the nib

I first ordered a F nib, the shipping was fast and the package was nice. Back to the nib itself, the writing feeling is gorgeous. It is so smooth and has a proper feedback. But the line this nib created is around 1.0mm which is so wide for me. So I contacted Mr. Joost and replaced a EF nib. Today I got my new EF nib, the wide is approx. 0.7mm which is OK for me, and the writing feeling is still fine. Overall, I like this EF nib. And the service of Appelboom is great. I will definitely come back when I need more fountain pens.

I bought this nib to replace the metal nib of my pelikan iconic blue fountain pen. It greatly increases the writing experience. Writes smooth and I especially like the dual color.

Bought my M400 with a M nib, i prefer thinner lines so I'm now using this EF very smooth nib. I like this size for daily writing.because I find it is similar to my M200 F steel nib, but smoother. Thanks Appelboom Pennen for your excellent service

Review Title: The EF is an excellent note taker

The EF M400 gold nib (which also fits the M200 series pens) I bought in addition to the F nib which came with my M200 pen. The EF gold nib is a very smooth writer and by no means scratchy. If you prefer to write small(er) letters, then this nib is an excellent choice. After using the EF gold nib for some time, and swapping back to the F steel nib, I find both nibs resulting in a very similar line thickness, but the gold nib is indeed smoother to use and a bit finer than the steel.
Of course, a nib with its qualities has its price.

Review Title: Simply great

Bought this one to supplement the Medium nib on my M400 and kept using only this Fine since. It is just perfect size for daily journal writing. Tiny bit of line variation if you press down harder, but other than that it is solid nib with just perfect wetness and overall great quality and writing performance.
Simple screw-in installation is making Pelikan nib units safest compared to all the friction fit ones that can damage your feed if not handled carefully. Attention to detail is just great. -plating is flawless and nib has been polished to perfection. Writes super smoothly, but no baby bottom!
