I am pretty new to the fountain pen scene, 7 months or so. After I tried the TWSBI 1.1mm for the 580AL, I decided to try the Pendleton Brown's Butter Line Stub nib. I want to share my experience with everyone here.

Hello! I recently found a Pilot Custom 74 for sale for a nice price, and it's equipped with a Soft Fine nib. For anyone who has ever had their pens reground by Mr. Pendleton, do you know if it is possible to get a BLS grind from that Soft Fine nib? And if you have such a nib, does it write just as springy and "flexy" (term loosely used) as it originally did, along with its new stub properties?

Here's BlaKWa. Really nice color. It's a teal sort of ink similar in color to Iroshizuku Ku Jaku or Diamine Eau De Nil. I think it's actually reaaallly close to Eau De Nil if memory serves. Eau de Nil was just a little darker than Ku Jaku, just a tiny bit less vibrant, which matches what I'm seeing here. Sadly, I ran out of my sample of Eau de Nil, so can't provide an explicit side-by-side right now. I have a bottle of Ku Jaku so I can compare those at least. Very good behavior. Could go on the list for an alternative to Ku Jaku for a lot of people who don't want to spend the $30 on Iroshizuku. Not sure what's up with the name.

Ok. This is another really good one. I officially like all four of the Pendleton's inks series. Good shading, wet flow. Really nice colors. This one is a dark purple color with nice shading. A purple-black. I wish I had Diamine Eclipse to compare it to. Looks like I really dig dark purple inks. Much more than lighter violet colors. This is going to join my top inks in regular rotation.

I have been using the nib customization services of Pendleton Brown for a couple of years now. I thought it was past time for me to post some samples of his fine work. In my opinion Pendleton is a living treasure. Invariably when I send him a pen it comes back to me writing much better. Some times it is like a different pen altogether the improvement is so great. I have gotten the full gamut of customization work from him, soft stubs and super crisp italics on both hard and flexible nibs. While all his work is phenomenal my favorite are my flexible crisp Italics. I am posting some of my favorites here. At this point I send almost every new pen I get to Pendleton. I have his GA address saved as a favorite in PayPal. Despite my wholly positive comments here I have no association with Pendleton, financial or otherwise. Feel free to ask me any questions about the attached 20 or so pens.

A nice coffee-colored ink, without the coffee aftertaste Between this and Herbin Lie de The, I've got a nice little cafe thing going in my ink collection. Once again, another great ink in the Pendleton's series. Nice shading. Good smooth flow. Can see the lines after the wet finger swipe. So that's nice. It leans toward the red side of brown. A good subtle color that I could see in serious use.

Another great red from Organics Studio. It's a tough choice for me between this and Poe. They've both got depth. The Poe is a little brighter. This one is more subtle, and maybe even further afield from typical markup red ink. Not really water resistant. Flow is nice and smooth. The Pendleton's inks in particular seem to be smooth and have nice shading. Very nice color and appropriate name
