So, long story short, I saved up for a Danitrio Sho-Hakkaku in EEF nib from Nibs.com. Good pen, great writer---until the day I accidentally pressed too hard on slippery paper (Apica, for the curious) & sprung the nib. Oops. Luckily, nibmeisters abounded in fountain-pen-verse, so I delivered my baby to the care of Pendleton Brown & got back a pen with pizazz (& a teeny bit of stub, to boot)! It's been my first experience with a nibmeister, & everything from the service to the delivery time has been stellar. Thanks, Mr. Pendleton! This doodle note's for you!
