The BENU Fountain Pen Nib in Stainless Steel #5 is a replacement nib unit designed for smaller and mid-sized BENU fountain pens. It’s made from stainless steel and typically produced in Germany, offering a simple, reliable option for maintaining or changing your pen’s writing style without replacing the whole pen.
It comes as a complete nib unit with feed and housing, which means it can be unscrewed and swapped easily rather than requiring delicate nib adjustments. It’s available in multiple sizes including extra fine, fine, medium, and broad, allowing you to adjust line width based on your preference. The writing feel is generally smooth and consistent, similar to standard European steel nibs, making it suitable for everyday writing.
This #5 size nib is compatible with specific BENU models such as Scepter, Briolette, Minima, and similar collections, but it does not fit larger pens that use #6 nibs. It also works with other pens that use Schmidt-style #5 nib units. Installation is straightforward, but it’s important to handle it carefully and avoid pulling the nib from the feed to prevent damage.
