Nib Meister For Cross Nib Customization

[martin155]

Could you please recommend me nib meister who has experiences customizing Cross nibs. I would need to grind down the nib and left oblique customization. Thank you

Where are you located at? Of course you could send it to a number of nibmeisters who are all highly experienced in all kinds of nibs, not just Cross nibs.

I am from Europe. I am considering either Mike Masuyama or John Sorowka. Has anybody experience with both of them? Who would you recommend? Thank you

I have used Mike Masuyama. He is very competent. Though I havent used John Sorokowa, I have heard about him, FPN members have been saying very good things about the quality of his work. He is here on FPN also. His username is "Oxonian"

Very pleased with Mike Masuyama's work, I trust him with nibs on $100 pens and $1000 pens. My best writers are the pens he worked on or modified.

Mark Bacas has done some excellent work for me and would be my first choice. Also, his prices are very reasonable, and turnaround time is low.

Also another recommendation for Mark Bacas. His turn around time is quick, especially if you request the express service. He was able to return my pens within a week and half with his express service.

John Sorowka does excellent work, he turned the M nib on my 149 into a beautiful smooth cursive italic. My favourite pen now. :-)

Have used Masuyama many times and Sorowka on two pens that I bought from U.K.

 

Both do great work.

 

However, since you're in Europe, would think its simpler/cheaper to ship pen to Sorowka.

 

If you were in US, use Masuyama or one of the excellent nibmeisters in US.

If you're in Europe (as opposed to the UK, which soon won't be ), it might also be worth talking to Pablo from fpnibs.com in Spain (check out their services at I've only ever bought new nibs from them, often with custom grinds - but I've found his workmanship to be exceptionally good.
