Hi Everyone,

 

I always use fpnibs.com as my source for JoWo nibs which they custom grind to whatever I want, but they don't offer Bock nibs.

 

Is there anyone out that that not only sells Bock nibs but will also custom grind them for you?

 

Thanks!

I think JJ Lax does.

I get mine from Conid. I have them sent via conventional post rather than the default courier.

The Kaweco Supra steel nibs sold by fpnibs.com are (I believe) made by JoWo, but fitted into a Bock-250-style assembly. Best to check this with them, but if you're looking for a compatible nib assembly rather than an actual Bock nib, that would be another option. More expensive than a Bock assembly sourced from elsewhere - but their custom grind prices are so reasonable!

Bock nibs in Bock housing.

 

FPnibs sells Kaweco, Pelikan and other brands and will therefore grind those nibs. Their Nib page states that they will soon be stocking Bock 250s

Well spotted - I hadn't seen that! Unfortunately they won't be stocking Bock nibs till June 2019 - but there are a few options in this thread if you don't want to wait that long...

check allinthenib.com ... they do custom grinds and also have some pre-ground nibs in both Bock and JoWo housings.

      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
