The BENU Fountain Pen Nib in Gold #5 is a replacement nib unit designed for smaller and mid-sized BENU fountain pens. It’s made from stainless steel with a gold-plated finish, giving it a classic look while keeping the durability and reliability of a steel nib. These nibs are produced in Germany and are commonly associated with Schmidt or JoWo-style units used across many modern fountain pens.
In terms of writing, it offers a smooth and consistent feel, similar to what you’d expect from standard European steel nibs. It’s available in multiple sizes including extra fine, fine, medium, and broad, allowing you to adjust your writing style without changing the entire pen. The nib unit comes pre-assembled with feed and housing, so it can be easily screwed into compatible pens rather than requiring delicate nib swapping.
Compatibility is an important detail here. This #5 size nib is typically used in smaller BENU models such as Briolette, Minima, Scepter, and similar collections, but it does not fit larger pens like the Euphoria or Talisman, which use #6 nibs. Installation is straightforward, but it’s recommended to handle the nib carefully and avoid pulling it from the feed to prevent damage.
