Valerie Geplaatst op 13-03-2021 I ordered an architect on a broad nib, Lamy Vista. The pen was ready really fast and when it arrived I was happily surprised by the handwritten note from the nib specialist. The message contained some tips about how to use the architect and it told me he had also ground the topside of the nib to a smooth super-extra-fine nib for reverse writing. Two nibs for the price of one!The architect writes like a dream! It was my first time getting an architect and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but it was love at first write! I didn't have any problem finding the 'sweet spot' because the nib was ground perfectly at my normal writing angle. (important to send accurate photos of your writing angle!)I originally got the nib on a Lamy Vista but since the grip section on that pen doesn't really allow for reverse writing, I decided to swap the nib on a Lamy Scala I had in order to be able to comfortably use both the architect and the smooth needlepoint nib!! I am really so happy with it and I am definitely ordering more architect nibs here soon!
Bertrand Geplaatst op 17-01-2021 Leonardo Momento Zero Pietra Marina Broad to cursive italic The work done on the nib is excellent and the pen writes like a charm. The difference from a stub (I own an Opus 88) is noticeable, the lines are crisper, but not at the cost of smoothness, so the pen is still easy to use. The line variation is amazing, maybe about 1 mm for the fattest down strokes, while the side strokes are very very thin. Distinctive writing experience at a fair price.In addition the pen came with a kind message handwritten by the nib specialist, which is a nice gesture.Thank you Fontoplumo
Inke Geplaatst op 20-12-2020 I had my Pelikan M205 with a broad nib customized to a cursive italic and it writes like an absolute dream. Plus I got a lovely message from the nib specialist which made it feel extra special. I'm definitely using this service again, because it's easy, more than fairly priced, and having a nib that suits my handwriting makes me use the pen more and gives my handwriting more character.
Troy Geplaatst op 12-08-2020 TWSBI Vac700R Broad to Cursive italicI purchased a TWSBI VAC700R together with a nib customization here a few months ago and opted for a broad nib that was then reground to a cursive italic. I must say the pen writes like an absolute dream, inkflow is consistent regardless of what ink i use (tried montblac homage to hadrian, Akkerman Zuiderpark blauw groen, Herbin Lie de thv©), the pen feels incredibly smooth, there is no scratchyness to think off and the line variation achieved with the grind is astounding. For whoever is considering a cursive italic i can highly recommend it.
