Looks like my first silvertip will be an ebay special rework with a golden nib knot......
If you have or know someone who has a drill press use a 7/8" or 1" Forstner drill bit to drill out the hairs after you cut them off with a pair of scissors. This all depends on what size hole you need for your new knot. You have to measure in millimeters for the knot because of a new measuring system from some foreign land.
