PEN ADDICT: Skogsy Pens Cholla Micarta Fountain Pen Review, Featuring Nib Tailor Architect Grind

“I’ve had this pen in regular use since returning from San Francisco, and it puts a smile on my face every time I use it. It’s that nice, and I made it even nicer, for me, with the addition of an Architect grind on the Medium steel Jowo nib I chose when purchasing this pen.

When I sat down with JC Ament, aka the Nib Tailor, I knew I wasn’t going with one of my standards (Stub, Cursive Italic, Needlepoint,) and wanted something cool, befitting this cool pen. I settled on a traditional Architect grid, and JC absolutely nailed it. My most-used Architect grind is more of a mini-style, befitting my small handwriting, so having this more traditionally-sized nib has been great.”

The Nib Tailor worked on two pens for me. One was a medium-to-an-architect grind, and the other was tuning of an extra fine Sailor nib that was so scratchy and dry, I was ready to toss it! It is now smooth and so much better! Better ink flow. JC is responsive and accommodating. I would not hesitate to send more pens to him! Thanks, JC!

“Today is the start of the @SFPenShowand the launch of the newly rebranded @TheNibTailor (old NibsOnPoint). 🎉

As much as I wish I could be there with so many friends, I’m thinking of them by writing with the “Tailor” nib created for me by@TheNibTailorand which I had originally received at the 2019 SF Pen Show.🙂

The nib is actually a T shape that offers 3 writing styles in one:
• I’m standard writing angle, it’s a forgiving though still sharp architect nib. 🤩
• On reverse it’s an italic and,😍
• At a 90° angle, it writes like a standard F nib. 🥰

2 years in, I’m always excited to write and draw with this pen. I find it especially enjoyable on days in which I just want to carry one pen and practice some modern calligraphy or play around with my writing style as the mood changes. ☺️

If you have a pen that needs its nib adjusted or any grinds, I highly recommend you stop by JC @TheNibTailor’s table.”
