Nappeunoppa Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hello!I recently found a Pilot Custom 74 for sale for a nice price, and it's equipped with a Soft Fine nib. For anyone who has ever had their pens reground by Mr. Pendleton, do you know if it is possible to get a BLS grind from that Soft Fine nib? And if you have such a nib, does it write just as springy and "flexy" (term loosely used) as it originally did, along with its new stub properties? Link to post Share on other sites
OcalaFlGuy Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 The line variation is the function of the tipping which is shaped during the grind. The softness of the nib is the function of the material of the nib itself or the design of each tine, or both. They are both Basically independent of each other.

Nappeunoppa Posted December 29, 2014 Author Share Posted December 29, 2014 I see, thank you for the information! I suspect Mr. Pendleton will be seeing a package at his doorstep soon then. Link to post Share on other sites
