Currently Inked for April 17, 2023: How to Swap Lamy Nibs

- "Currently Inked" is a short weekly video/vlog in which I discuss one or two specific items that I'm using each week, whether something from my personal collection or a new addition to the shop. This week, I talk about swapping Lamy fountain pen nibs on the Safari, AL-Star, and Studio pens (though the technique applies to any Lamy pen that uses the same nib). As you'll see, this video wasn't scripted or edited when things went a bit sideways. Sometimes you just have to improvise.
(In the end, I was not able to get one of the three nibs loosened up enough, so I went ahead and left it attached to the feed and swapped the entire nib/feed assembly from one Studio into another.)
The Gentleman Stationer is now a full service Lamy retailer through the T.G.S. Curated Shop! Please be sure to check us out here: www.gentlemanstationer.com/th...
In addition to Lamy pens, we stock replacement nibs, including:
Stainless Steel Nibs: www.gentlemanstationer.com/th...

Many thanks for all your support. If you'd like to support the site and the channel outside the shop, we have a Patreon featuring monthly meetups and more: www.patreon.com/gentlemanstationer
A good demo, thanks! I recently saw a video from Doodlebud where he mentioned a method to remove these nibs using the cap to hold the nib's tipping material in place against a surface (hopefully that makes sense) and it seems like a good method but I haven't tried it.
I usually use my finger nails to grip the nibs right behind the edge where they sit on the rails and then slide them off super easily. The tape has never worked for me.
I’ve done that before as well, and it can work well!
Was I the only one who noticed the aion steel nib on the green studio?
It’s so weird. That pen shipped to me like that, and I’ve been waiting to replace it with a 14k.
