Description

We can customize the nib on pens bought from us.  When ordering a pen, add Nib Customization to your order and we will have the pen worked on by our trusted nib specialist. Expect a (on average) 2 week lead time added to your order. As soon as the pen and customization are ready (and your pen has passed our test) it will be send to you. The following customizations are offered:

- We currently have a delay in the nib tuning services. Expect all will commence as normal later this month (July) -

 
STUB
Stub nibs have a thicker downstroke and a thinner side stroke, providing your writing extra character. The sides are rounded, what makes a stub still very user friendly.

 
Cursive Italic
CI nibs have a thicker downstroke and a thinner side stroke, providing your writing extra character. These provide a larger line variation but are less user friendly as a stub, as a CI is less rounded in the corners.

 
Left Oblique
Cut at an angle, suitable if you rotate your nib.

 
Right Oblique
Cut at an angle, suitable if you rotate your nib and write with your left hand.

 
Architect
This gives a thinner downstroke and a wider side stroke. Giving a nice line variation to your writing. It is sensitive to the angle you hold the pen, please prodide the following information us information about the angle that you hold the pen when writing.

 
Needlepoint
Reduces the tip to a very fine size, suitable for very small writing.

 
Increase inkflow
Do you like the pen but want it to write wetter than it is by default.

 
Decrease ink flow
Do you like the pen but want it to write dryer than it is by default.

 
Tune and smoothen
Your pen will be inked and the pens smoothness and ink flow will be tested and adjusted if needed Select your preferred customization in order to see the specific price.

*Pens with adjusted nibs are not eligible for exchange or return nor can an order be cancelled once taken into production

**at the moment this service is offered only on pens bought from us and the option is ordered at the same time as the pen

The cursive italic nib grinding is simply brilliant. In fact, after trying the first one, I ordered four more with different line widths and from two different brands.

I love the writing samples that accompanied them.

In one case, Bruce gave me some advice on how to use two of them due to their particular characteristics.

A very satisfied customer. Thanks!

I asked for an architect grind on a medium nib and pff.... absolutely in love with it. This is my second grind from Bruce and both times were a hit. His work is brilliant and I appreciate the note that accompanied the order. Thank you for the great grind and customer service! Already contemplating my next grind.

Very happy with my cursive italic on a Lamy broad nib. Interesting writing experience, something new to explore. And yes, it is worth the price, especially with the outstanding customer Service at Fontoplumo. Thank you!
