Phil, I can't see the fact that Bock supply a housing and feed as an issue.  First off, the FEED fits the nib and WILL fit ina kit pen.  Whether they are better than the kit item I don't know, but they look very different.  So it's just the housing that raises the question.  What is the price difference with/without housing?


Personally I think your biggest customers (although we are talking small numbers still) will be kit less pen makers.  Kit pens tend to go with the supplied nib 99% of the time.  So having the feed/housing included would be a bonus, and I can't see the price differential being that great?


Interestingly one of the reasons I don't particularly like Jowo is because their nibs are unbranded!  No point getting a premium product if you can't SEE the difference, right? 


:funny:
