We are also pleased to announce that we are taking on custom nib grinding requests on clients pens. Pricing will be quoted on an as per basis, but will start at $40 minimum. When reducing line width on client nibs, the nib will be inspected upon arrival and the client will be consulted if their wishes cannot be accommodated. This can happen if the tipping is in poor condition, not securely welded to the base nib material, or simply not wide enough to meet the requested final size. All nib width grinds require the nib tipping to be wider than the desired size.

• To regrind to Fine (0.5mm line width)                                                                                         $40
• To regrind to XF (0.4mm to 0.3mm width)                                                                                 $50
• To grind Stub Italic or Cursive Italic 0.6mm or wider                                                                  $40
• To grind Stub Italic or Cursive Italic 0.5mm or narrower                                                             $50
• To grind Arabic Italic (nib has to be evaluated prior to grinding for sufficient tipping)                    $50

More grinds will be added as they become requested, I wish to concentrate on these grinds at this time to ensure consistency in the final product. If you wish to have a grind which is not listed above, feel free to contact me to discuss at pens@penrx.ca
