Hi, I have a Pilot 823 nib that had developed a scratchy angle. Turns out lending your favourite fountain pen to someone who's never used one before is a pretty dumb idea. On top of that, trying to smoothen an 823 nib when you have never done it before is dumber even. So here I am, with... -
Hi all; I'm working on a recently acquired 1938 Parker Parkette Deluxe with a nice somewhat flexible stainless steel nib. I have the pen 90% "there" but have one small issue. The nib delivers a nice, somewhat wet flow with just the lightest pressure except on the up-stroke. If an up-s...

I then flushed the pen and ink...

I don't know how some of you are able to cover both Ginza and Marounochi in an afternoon when I would spend the entire afterno...

I have been learning nib smoothing on a Jowo nib and I have gotten it to the point that the nib is way too smooth and my hand writing suffers from lack of control. None of the links from the pinned trhead mentions adding tooth. I can figure that I can make a nib rougher by using a lower grit micro...

Some of you may have read my post about a purchase in Singapore of an Omas pen that went less than expected with the pen skipping immediately when I got home. I found that Nibs.com had another Omas Vintage 360 (different color) and I started an online conversation with them to find out if other Om...

I searched for similar threads, but most are too old and with too few comments. I'm thinking of having a general checklist to tune a scratchy nib, for those who just need some adjustment (smoothing etc). This is mostly the case when starting to use a pen/nib for the first time. Here's what I...
