JoWo #8 18k Nibs

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.

Link Pop Addition to Social Media Accounts

Hey, everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve added a set of Link Pop Quick Links to all my social media profiles in order to make access to my most popular web pages easier for all my valued customers.  

What you’ll see is the Link Pop link:  https://linkpop.com/scriptoriumpencompany with the following links available:

For instance, if you see a pen for sale listed on an Instagram post, go to my profile page and choose the link for Shop Available Pens to go directly to the sale page.  This will save you from having to go to the home page, then the sale page.

As an interesting note, when I went to create such a quick link, I tried the Link Tree service, only to find that my company name was already taken, and on Link Pop, both Scriptorium and Scriptorium Pens were taken. Thankfully, no one had claimed the full company name, Scriptorium Pen Company, so I was able to use that. 🤔
