  • Have a bunch of fountain pens lying around that you just don't use? One way to spice them up is by having the nibs modified by a nibmeister - there are so many options and it can give an old pen new life! It also tends to be more affordable than buying a whole new pen. I had two Sailor Pro Gear Slims with zoom nibs, so I decided to have one ground to a moderately sharp architect by Toronto Pen Company AND IT IS SO FUN. I hope you enjoy this video with a writing sample!⁣

    The side shots of you writing are excellent! Really helpful to see how to use a Zoom nib. Thank you.

    I'm glad a came across this video. I just got a Pro Gear with a Zoom nib. I know how to use the Zoom, but I'm glad to find examples of people using it.

    Thanks especially for the side views of each nib in action! As a lefty overwriter, I have enjoyed stubs of several different sizes. Now I'm getting more and more interested in an Architect nib.

    Fabulous nibs, Azizah. I had asked for a video demonstrating a Zoom nib, but obviously you'd created such a presentation already. The Architect blade is quite an unusual grind, but it's beautiful - what would I ask a nib Meister for if I wished to replicate that which is featured, here ? Both stunning units, tho' not overly wild about the pen body/barrel colouration - they're too much in (my) face. Thank you, once again for an outstanding demonstration !! :D

    Azizah, thanks for putting this together, it is really interesting to see a comparison of the different types of grinds and how they "behave" very informative.
    Possible to do one with the infamous "music" nib? TIA

      @@WaskiSquirrel That's a good point! I have seen some really interesting Sailor Studio inks with wild shading that spans different colours though, so I wouldn't be too surprised if there was a blue that shaded to green!

      CHRIS LJ There aren't any plans currently. I want to, but I'm just not satisfied with the quality I'm able to produce. I just got a new pen, so I may just make a quick demonstration for it.

      I don't understand what you think is wrong with the quality of your videos. You have a unique style of production and your writing is to die for. I mean c'mon, how many people can say they have made others orgasm by writing with a Rotring mechanical pencil, lol. Don't sell yourself short, you are awesome.
