Hi,

 

I'm sure many of you have already dealt with John and company over as Classic Fountain Pens. I recently sent John two Nakaya pens to be retuned for me. the first one I purchased from them a couple of months ago. The second I purchased from the classifieds here.

 

I'm a left-handed side writer, and I like my pens with fine nibs and smoooooooth.

 

This, as John told me on the phone, presented an interesting challenge. I wouldn't have even sent the pens, but I have a Sailor from them with an XF nib that writes so, so smoothly, so I knew it was possible to get these pens a little more buttery.

 

Not only was the work done beautifully (as I fully expected), but John spent roughly 20 minutes on the phone with me trying to understand my writing style and preferences (having already looked at my writing samples).

 

OK, so you are thinking that is no big deal. But now I tell you that he did it the day before the SF pen show, and you realize he probably had much better things to do than tune a couple of pens.

 

Such a lovely time I had talking to him - and my nibs know it!

This story is so typical of John and his staff at CFP. John is always unflappable, kind, focused and the consummate craftsman. I'd trust any pen I have with him--in fact, I have more than two dozen that he's tuned and customized for me over the course of almost twenty years. I have absolute trust in him!
