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!

THANKS for skilled nibsmithing AND inky courtesy
Thx for being one of the good ones
LOVE my nibs, which is all I really meant to say in the first place. Plus you were fun to hang out with and appropriately ocd (in a good natured way) about getting the grinds right!

You’re a genius!
The nib is fantastic.
Very fine, but not scratchy at all and still wet.
I’m loving it!
Thanks!!

“JC worked on my Armando Simoni Club Nefertiti fountain pen with a #8 nib at Bertram's Inkwell about 10 days ago. I was reluctant since I've only used a nib meister once years ago (not JC) and my fine point was converted to a medium point by mistake. However, JC did an exceptional job on this pen. It was a very wet nib that wrote a medium/broad line. I tried various inks without much improvement….
…JC also figured out a problem with another ASC that had dried ink inside.
Prices were very very reasonable. The expertise was exceptional and I will definitely only use JC for future nib tailoring.. Thanks again”

“Thank you, JC. I appreciate all the care you took in taming the nib for me. I’ll definitely look forward to seeing you at the Baltimore show if I don’t see you back at Bertram’s beforehand.”

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