Recently dropped my beloved lamy 2k while flushing it with water.. Ive looked at nibmeisters outside of India but either the shipping or their work is pretty expensive. Id love to know if anyone could repair the nib right in India, or if someone could suggest a nibmeister who is somewhat economical.

If Krishna can't help, contact FPnibs.com. They're in Spain (you said on Reddit you were okay with Europe, right?) and the prices are super low, but the work is top notch.

Nice to see you on FPR :). I contacted him, and the prices were ok, but the shipping cost is over 60 euro.. I could probably buy a new lamy 2k by the time the pen gets back to me lol. Regardless, I contacted lamy themselves and they transferred to me a authorised Indian lamy retailer - William Penn I believe. Fingers crossed that they can repair the nib.

Williampenn will not repair your nib for sure. Your nib is not damaged beyond repair. It can be fixed easily. you can get it fixed by G M Pens Chennai (Mr. Prataph) or Krishnapens for a minimal cost.

bk123 is right. Your nib needs only for the tines to be realigned (from what your photos show), that is really an easy thing to do, and Dr Sreekumar, from Krishnapens, is an excellent nibmeister that can easily do that for you. Contact him.

The pen is in the hands of William penn right now, if they can’t repair it I will contact Dr. Sreekumar for sure. I love his inks, and I’m sure he’s great with pens too.

If you are based in Mumbai or Delhi, there are a couple of guys from the local pen groups that can fix this for you.

      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
