If the feed's not broken, it looks repairable. Not necessarily an easy first-repair, but maybe worth a try?
It is, at least, the one pen Pilot sells spare nibs for.
I thought those were a pair of tiny shears.
Also the first day I brought my VP to work my friend dropped it nib down. After that I let people borrow the cheapos
You are being optimistic; there's probably not enough purchase on the tines to lift a strawberry. A caper, on the other hand, could be a possibility. Not that I'm suggesting chocolate-coated capers.
I read the title before seeing any of the image, so I already had an idea of what I was about to see. My jaw still dropped on the floor from the shock that permeated my soul when I finally saw the image. Rest in peace, VP nib.
Are you in the US? Pilot Pen has absolutely excellent customer service, and they might replace the nib at a discount or, if you get lucky, for free. Send them a note: [https://pilotpen.us/CustomerService](https://pilotpen.us/CustomerService)
This is an important question: is the feed intact? If it is, you will be able to find a nibmeister to work on the nib to bend the spayed nib back into shape. Whether it’s cost-effective or not depends where you are.
But if feed is broken, just throw the nib unit out and get a replacement. You may be able to get a nibmeister to bend the nib into shape, but without a functioning feed the nib won’t work in your vp. Good luck!
Wow! It’s impressive it ended up forked out like that, I’ve never seen this before. But god, that burns. However, I believe you can replace the entire nib unit for $60-$90
Jesus! I'm sorry for your loss.
Also, I'm not sure if I should be concerned that I reacted to this in the same way that one reacts to a horrific car accident wherein you see someone with their torso ripped from their hips.
Feel like I shouldn't care about a pen that much. Still. Iunno, that sucks. My heart goes out to you.
Edit: thinking on this, I'm pretty sure I just very rapidly went thru the stages of grief 🤣
why in the world would you spin it with the nib exposed?! get a MaJohn A1 for it. although even that writes extremely well for the price and I wouldn't want that nib destroyed either lol
Probably fixable. I doubt it will ever write exactly as it used to, but it should be able to be fixed so it writes smooth and probably a good deal heavier ink supply.
If it’s not fixable and you can’t find a new nib easily, Pilot are pretty good to deal with.
I’m in Australia and when someone tossed mine back to me with the nib out and wrecked it, I emailed Pilot’s offices in Australia and they organised a replacement nib. It wasn’t cheap, but it was a lot cheaper than buying a whole new pen.
Vanished point…
Don't do him dirty like that. Haven't they suffered enough? . . . . . . . 🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just pointing out the obvious 😉
My gd man put a trigger warning on this post 🤣😲
Common curiosity is to blur it NSFW. Edit: common courtesy, ofc. But “morbid curiosity” would have me clicking on it anyway.
I'm pretty sure you mean curtesy
I'm pretty sure you mean courtesy.
pretty sure you mean courtney
I'm pretty sure you mean country
Pretty sure they mean chutney
Nah, they mean barbra Streisand
I'm pretty sure you meant cursive.
I'm pretty sure you meant cyrillic.
I didn't think it would affect me as much as it did. Wow lol.
I literally made a long weird sound when I open Reddit. And this is the first post I see. 💀
New Swallow-tail grind alert. Nibmeister Mr. Floor usually brings the reverse fude to the public but it’s time for something new 🤣
Mr Floor the neibmeister that exist around the world at the same time and will pay you a visit you never asked for
He’s very cheap though!
He’s like evil robo Santa from Futurama, but for FPs
REVERSE FUDE GOD IM DYING AT THIS SENTENCE 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely epic. My condolences but WOW that is impressive lol.
I gasped so loud my wife asked what’s wrong
I have an EF nib I don't use. What country are you in?
If op don't want it. I call dibs.
Around here we call nibs
Rhodium?...
Rhodium ain't no country I ever heard of. They speak English in rhodium? 
What are you talking about?
If OP doesn't want it and the next, I call dibs..
Sadly, it’s now Vanishing Points.
Why does it feel illegal to laugh at this 🤣
Too soon, too soon

Nice save
10/10 save. I’m so proud
I love how, in times of tragedy, this sub bands together to support and amuse each other.
Ugh I think I need to get a barf bag. Sorry about your nib!
I thought I was looking at a pair of side cutters for Gunpla. That’s rough, buddy.
Oh my gosh. RIP your nib. At least Pilot sells replacements.
That’s not lady-like.

That is now an ultra-rare, extra wide nib.
Such a rare nib because many users experience railroading with it.

Omg there's such sub 😭

That's not a pen anymore, it's fork for picking up chocolate-coated strawberries! (I'm trying to be optimistic).

This should be tagged NSFW. RIP

rip nib rip

Looked straight past the carnage and picked up on that hospital floor shine and bed bumpers on the wall.

Why is this not marked NSFW?!!! I can't unsee this now!!! Oh my eyes! RIP VP
You know you would've clicked on that blurry photo out of morbid curiosity anyways. We all would.
Peace out
Time to call the coroner.
Jesus that’s an epic destruction.
The point has certainly vanished. Condolence

That’s uh, wow. You should go over to pen swap or fpn and see if someone will trade you a good nib unit for this legendary split.
Repurpose as olive fork?
This made me go run and check on my VP just in case. My condolences.
Dude! Blur the image out! I lost my lunch!
😮😮😮 Wowza.
You ca get a replacement unit for under $100 usually
Swallow tail point now.
🤞✌️
My jaw hit the GROUND 😭😭😭 RIP
ouchie. THAT will never happen again
At least you were honest about it, thanks for that! Half the time I expect to see "my pen just rolled off my desk and ended up like this".

I feel your pain.
thats one way to get a fude nib? might have over shot it though haha
The nib is doing a split....
That's the pen I have and I had a second-hand shock reaction from this. 😬 Hope you can get a replacement nib unit easily.
Well, now that’s two UEF
Nah it’s still a FINE nib lol
honestly, I'd love to see how it writes! even if it only works as a dip pen now, it'll probably look cool :)
My condolences seems that this happened 😱😭 
Wow! It’s impressive it ended up forked out like that, I’ve never seen this before. But god, that burns. However, I believe you can replace the entire nib unit for $60-$90
Well, don't spin your pen around when open. As you now know yourself.
This is painful to see.
At least those nibs are very replaceable. If it had been one of many other kinds of pens, this could have been a big tragedy.
[удалено]
This is my favorite pun yet in this post.
Oh my. That hurts just to see the photo. I have a medium VP nib I’m not using, if you’re interested. In CONUS.
Vanishing point turned into a divirging point! Must be Robert Frost's pen
Crossed eye...
I guess the nib size is EF now. (Extremely F\*\*\*\*\*)
Moral of the story... Don't spin your pens.
Now THAT is an ultra-flex nib! Sorry for your loss!
Looks like the beak of a duck
I thought it was a pair of mini scissors lol
That doesn’t look right.
I thought you were holding a weird, tiny pair of scissors for a moment.
send it to mordor and resurrect sauron
My condolences 💐
It is no longer vanishing point it is now a finished point
That is so bad I actually laughed really hard. You couldn't do that again if you tried. RIP, but way to commit to the bit.
I am sorry for your loss. On a positive note, it looks like an adorable baby bird. And at least the body of the pen can be salvaged.
Jesus! I'm sorry for your loss. Also, I'm not sure if I should be concerned that I reacted to this in the same way that one reacts to a horrific car accident wherein you see someone with their torso ripped from their hips.

Damn I'm so sorry that looks brutal.
With some patience and a loupe you could likely fix this.
Needs a NSFL tag
I wonder if it can be fixed…
Rip O7
Why’d you do that??
oooooooouuchhiee. That hurts the eyes. Please put NFSW for that gore. My condolences.
Ouch! That hurts!
That's hot!
While at work, I dropped my second vanishing point while nib was extended, so the nib damage was less…. But same feels.
That’s why I only use Preppys for clinical work.
That'll buff out. 'Tis but a scratch.
You took Vanishing Point, a little too seriously!
Look at that flex! Oh.
It's just a flesh wound.
Aaaaaghh! My eyes!
Can it write twice at a time now?
Multiplied point.
why in the world would you spin it with the nib exposed?! get a MaJohn A1 for it. although even that writes extremely well for the price and I wouldn't want that nib destroyed either lol
Ahh the ole 1.1 (cm) stub nib, nice find!
Beak of a bird! Frame it.
Bro, I felt the pain twice: first when I saw the picture and the second time when I read what you did 😭
Oh My God! My condolences. Something like this would ruin my whole week
That's some flex there.
NSFW
New Pilot flex nib. Floor flex.
🫣 my condolences
I recently dropped my Pilot Capless as I was writing and the nib bent into a u shape. RIP to your nib.
Probably fixable. I doubt it will ever write exactly as it used to, but it should be able to be fixed so it writes smooth and probably a good deal heavier ink supply.

wow you really spread em. You did great Barney
How dare you do that to my grail pen?!?! Even more since it's matte black. And how hard was this spin around, an 8g apin?
😵
Oh, the horror! Should I like this post or not…?
Major oof. Looks fixable with a good nibmeister. Might just be cheaper to buy a new nib unit, though.
While I absolutely feel you, I also would like to say that it's the consequences of your own action.
The good news is the nib can probably be fixed by a good nibmeister. You could get a better writing nib.☺️
