Due to the dearth of nib workers who regrind pens in Japan, I have decided to learn and offer regrinding services. You can find examples of my grinds in my The Anatomy Of series, including close up pictures and writing samples. All nib work is by consultation only, and the description and prices below are for reference and not final. Consultation is mandatory for nib work. You can request a nib grind by filling this form.

Grind | Description | Price (USD) |
Tune Up | Small adjustments for flow and alignment. No grinding involved. | 30 |
ITA Family | The Italic Family includes Stubs, Italics, and Oblique nibs. These nibs are most commonly used in broad edge style writing, such as Italics, Uncials, and Blackletter. | 40 |
ARC Family | The Architect Family includes curved Architect grinds and Architect grinds at your writing angle. The standard offering is a slightly curved Architect that is not angle restricted. Sharp Architects at your writing angle can also be done, with the latter being more forgiving, but less variation. | 40 |
