    Tennis racket pen clips

    Does anyone know it these are available anywhere, preferably slimline but could be others, the ones I've seen all look like badminton rackets and aren't suitable as it's for some enthusiasts.

    Dip pen parts?

    I'd like to have a go at making a dip pen, probably in metal. Where do you folks buy your knibs and the tubular part (name?) that holds the knib itself? I do have a selection of old knibs somewhere but I don't know how suitable they are as they're quite old and some of them are very small. TIA.
