Which Nib To Be Ground For Architect Point


tgoto

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

I have been trying to find the information I need but am having a hard time...

I am planning to get the next pen with #6 titanium nib ground to Architect point.

 

What I don't know is which nib should I start with to be ground to Architect point.

Can I use fine nib, or the nib should be broad (or other type) nib?

 

I am having a hard time finding photos of lineworks written by Architect point (fine, medium and broad).

 

If you have an example of your Architect nib lineworks, can you show me?

It would be even better if the lineworks are in printing/lettering.

 

Thank you!!

Dream, take one step at a time and achieve. :)

I know that Dan Smith can grind an EF nib to an architect point (he offered to do one for me), so I think you can do it with any pen. Can you ask the person who is doing the grinding to send you pictures of that show how wide the lines are for each nib?

 

Also, I've noticed that there are quite a few samples of nibs ground in the architect's point on the forum. Just put in the term "architect point" in the search box, and they will pop up.

Thank you for the reply!

 

There are samples in the forum but most of them are broad nibs and somehow I can't find them in lettering (like the way architects write). Am I not looking deep enough? :)

 

It is a good idea to ask who is going to provide the nib.

Once I decide on who to go to, I can ask for samples, but wanted to see if anyone here already hd some samples :)

      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
