Scriptorium Pens will now be offering pens with the wonderful JoWo #8 18k nibs. Tip sizes available are Fine, Medium, & Broad, and come in all Gold or Rhodium plate. As with all other nibs offered, these nibs will be tuned and smoothed by Mark Bacas of nibgrinder.com. Customers will also save money with these JoWo #8 nibs, which will be $275, compared to Bock nibs which have been $285.
I will still make pens with grip sections to hold Bock #8 nibs, but customers will need to source their own nibs. This change is being made due to increased difficulties in the availability of Bock nibs and shipping issues from suppliers and the local postal service. Customers can purchase Bock #8 nibs from sources such as: https://www.beaufortink.co.uk and https://www.fpnibs.com. They can be easily installed simply by screwing them in.
The Magna Carta #8 nibs remain in the lineup, in polished steel or gold plate at $120, as well as Titanium at $145, and are all available in Fine, Medium, and Broad.
L-R: Magna Carta #8 (yes, it’s super long!), JoWo #8, JoWo #6
A few other changes are in line. Wood pens will only be offered with oil/wax finishes. I will no longer provide glossy finishes. Also, wood pens can have rollstops or be clipless, but will not be made with clips.
