Nib Grinds - Jazzorilla

[Jaspreet]

Hi

 

I am Jaspreet from India and I grind nibs. I usually post pics of my grinds on instagram ( handle - Jazzorilla). I am new to FPN and i will be posting pics of my grinds here for constructive criticism.

 

Attaching some pics of a Broad Cursive italic grind on a Kanwrite nib which writes as a smooth B on reverse.

Nice looking, and it's always nice to have two sides.

 

IMO double sided is something to look at, with the modern Pelikans (outside the 200).

[Jaspreet]

I have a Pelikan m605 with a Broad nib. The back side wrote like a sharp italic. Eventually i ground it again to have a forgiving CI on one side and a sharp italic on the other side.

Two Architect grinds i did on Jowo #6 Broad nibs.

Great work judging by the photos. Have you considered doing grinds of other people in the future? I get the feeling there's a shortage of nib grinders in your part of the world.

Hi Hasorer. This is Chanchal from Kolkata. Just too elated to find a nibmeister locally. Your works are wonderful. I have a Pelican souveran m600 medium nib. But I feel it's way too broad and wet nib, uncomfortable for my writing style. I was actually planning to buy a fine nib for m600, just when I found your post. Can your expertise be any of my help? Awaiting a response from your side.

Sorry for my typo, please read Jaspreet. Really sorry for misspelling.

Yes, I have been doing grinds for people since couple of months now. Recently ground nibs at a show in Mumbai organized by Fountain Pen association of India. Thank you

Great photos. Thank you for posting. I've been messing around with a couple of Pilot Varsities and various micromesh pads in an attempt to turn one into a stub and the other into an architect. I don't have the guts to try my hand at anything more expensive than a Varsity or a Wing Sung.

Nice clean work Jaspreet. I'm still having trouble with the final polish on my grinds. Those pics look great.

Its all about practice. I used and spoiled many nibs before i could start getting clean grinds.

Thank you. Maybe with micromesh, you can achieve good polish.

An italic grind on a Kaweco Sport BB nib. This was done for someone who does calligraphy and needed maximum line variation.
