Uk Nibmeister?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

Sorry, I know this has come up a few times. Looking for someone in the UK who could repair make work my Visconti Rembrandt.

 

(I've posted about it elsewhere, but never been happy with it. I think it has one tine longer than the other so needs a bit of grinding and probably work on the feed / feed replacement. Tempted to get it ground to a stub as well.)

 

I've seen mention of Oxonian aka John Sorowka but can't find him searching FPN members. Also saw mention of PenPractice.com but doesn't seem to cater for repair or modern pens.

 

Any tips?

Hope you got sorted out, John and Annabelle, looked to be busy all day. The show had an excellent turn out, I had a ball, meeting again all the people, not UK based.

Thanks all for your help, much appreciated.

 

Not much chance of travel for pleasure at the moment: four kids at home under 6yrs old...family motto: "embrace the chaos" :wacko: !

 

Anyway, thank's for the PMs, I'll see what I can sort.

Aha - I've just come across the name of John Sorowka as a UK-based nib meister, as I have a Lamy I'd like tinkered with by someone who knows what they're doing. I didn't know if such things can be done via the post, or if one has to be with the nibmeister in person. Any tips of accessing such skills would be much appreciated. Many thanks Gerry

      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
