Nib Mods & Adjustments

Welcome to Matthew’s Nibworks!

Fountain pens are fascinating tools, and learning how to tune how they perform has been a significant focus of mine over the last few years. In my time as a college student abroad in Japan, I met with various “nib doctors” to confirm the efficacy of my nib grinding techniques; among these include Yoshimune-san of Pen and Message and Tsuchida-san of Pilot. Mr. Nagahara Jr. provided me with extensive guidance during my education on grinding the Naginata Togi nib. Since my return to the United States, I have built a custom machine for nib grinding, and am grateful to have gained the support and guidance of Michael Masuyama as I continue my work. Customizing fountain pens is my passion, and I look forward to servicing your pens to the best of my ability.
