Choose Nibs Made of Solid Gold.
Solid gold fountain pen nibs are generally more dependable than their cheaper steel counterparts, which can easily bend or corrode and are difficult or impossible to repair. In contrast, solid gold fountain pen nibs are generally long-lasting and durable, and they can be used for the entirety of one's writing career. However, there are several fundamental procedures that you can take to ensure the longest possible life for your preferred solid gold nib.
Put caps on your pens, or use pen pillows or racks, whatever you want.

Naturally, dropping a pen, especially while it is uncapped, presents the highest risk of nib breakage. This is especially true when the cap is removed. You should always keep your pens covered while they are not in use, and if you are using a clipless pen like the Nakaya Cigar-style pens, you should also think about using a pen cushion or rack so that your pen does not move about on its own and fall off the table. In most cases, we are able to fix gold nibs that have been broken as a result of falling; please see the sections devoted to our services and repairs for more information.
When you are writing, use a light touch.

The application of excessive pressure while writing is the second most significant factor that might damage a nib. The majority of fountain pens only need a little touch while writing, and pressing down too forcefully on them may cause the tines to expand and lead to other types of damage as well. It is not necessary to have a touch as light as a feather in order to operate a fountain pen; nonetheless, keeping in mind to apply less pressure when writing may help you avoid having to see the nib doctor.
