Hello!

I'm currently considering purchasing an extra nib unit in M for a wonderful pen of mine, which I would send off to a nibmeister to have it ground down to a cursive italic or a stub. The first two nibmeisters that come to my mind are Mr. Mike Masuyama and Mr. John Mottishaw but both are in the US. Are there any well-known nibmeisters in Europe?

Thank you!

I just send 2 pens to Carlos Garcia (goldnibs.com) in Madrid, he told me the pens arrived but haven't started working on them yet. But I read a lot of good stuff about his services here on FPN.

 

I don't know if there are others.

John Sorowka, who has an excellent reputation, is based in the UK and goes by the name Oxonian on FPN. He italicised a music nib for me.

I had my pens tuned by Joseph in Barcelona. We met in person, but I am sure you can send the pens to him. He made a great job and it wasn't expensive. He is a very kind person. You can contact him in this email: philartspen@yahoo.com.

John Sorowka is an absolute joy to deal with.

He knows exactly what he can do with a specific nib, and how to communicate that to you as a customer. An ability that is equally as important as being a skilled craftsman.

I´ve only had one nib modified by him, but it is a wonderfully smooth medium stum (Pelikan M800).

 

He is highly recommended, but a word of warning is in place - he apparently HATES the term "nibmeister".

Another option in Spain would be FPnibs. Pablo does excellent work.

 

I've purchased nibs direct with custom grinds in addition to sending him nibs from where I live in Texas-U.S. and couldn't be happier with the work he's done not to mention his exceptional pricing and turn around times.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
