Calligraphy Nibs?

[rjwolfe3]

I had my favorite customer ask if I could get calligraphy nibs for her fountain pens. She likes the full sized Statesman and Emperor. I told her I could get them but then I couldn't remember who sells them. Can someone refresh my memory and let me know who/what I am looking for?

TIA:biggrin:

penworks and Lou I believe, they both carry caligraphy nibs.

mmmm didn't see that on their sites. How do I know which is for calligraphy and which will fit those fountain pens?

I am not aware of any that will fit the full size pens.

Wow, so there are no suppliers of calligraphy nibs for the full size pens? That sucks, could have had a large sale.

How wide does she want them? I have ground my own cursive italics from Lou's steel Heritage nibs. To get out past 1 mm, you have to grind off the whole tip, and work with just the steel portion, but if properly done, it produces a very smooth writing experience. Lou might be able to grind one for you to the size you need.

Dan,
Just heard from the customer that she wants a 1mm nib for Calligraphy. Is this something that I could do myself and if so, any pointers?
