Hi

 

I am Jaspreet from India and I grind nibs. I usually post pics of my grinds on instagram ( handle - Jazzorilla). I am new to FPN and i will be posting pics of my grinds here for constructive criticism.

 

Attaching some pics of a Broad Cursive italic grind on a Kanwrite nib which writes as a smooth B on reverse.

Nice looking, and it's always nice to have two sides.

 

IMO double sided is something to look at, with the modern Pelikans (outside the 200).

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

 

 

The cheapest lessons are from those who learned expensive lessons. Ignorance is best for learning expensive lessons.

I have a Pelikan m605 with a Broad nib. The back side wrote like a sharp italic. Eventually i ground it again to have a forgiving CI on one side and a sharp italic on the other side.

Great work judging by the photos. Have you considered doing grinds of other people in the future? I get the feeling there's a shortage of nib grinders in your part of the world.

Hi Hasorer. This is Chanchal from Kolkata. Just too elated to find a nibmeister locally. Your works are wonderful. I have a Pelican souveran m600 medium nib. But I feel it's way too broad and wet nib, uncomfortable for my writing style. I was actually planning to buy a fine nib for m600, just when I found your post. Can your expertise be any of my help? Awaiting a response from your side.

Yes, I have been doing grinds for people since couple of months now. Recently ground nibs at a show in Mumbai organized by Fountain Pen association of India. Thank you :)

Great photos. Thank you for posting. I've been messing around with a couple of Pilot Varsities and various micromesh pads in an attempt to turn one into a stub and the other into an architect. I don't have the guts to try my hand at anything more expensive than a Varsity or a Wing Sung.

Nice clean work Jaspreet. I'm still having trouble with the final polish on my grinds. Those pics look great.

An italic grind on a Kaweco Sport BB nib. This was done for someone who does calligraphy and needed maximum line variation.

      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
