I use high quality #6 JoWo nibs & #8 Bock nibs, both made in Germany. Standard pricing includes your choice of a Steel Nib in gold or polished steel. 14k & 18k nibs are also available. All nibs are smoothed and tuned for medium wet ink flow and a wonderful writing experience by Nibmeister Mark Bacas of Nibgrinder.
In addition to the standard JoWo and Bock nibs mentioned above, Scriptorium Pens is proud to offer the following:
- The amazing Monty Winnfield Stacked Nibs. See the Monty Winnfield website for more information on these nibs.
- The fabulous Secretary of De Flex Nibs by Kirk Speer. These are steel nibs custom made to create a wonderful flex writing experience. See the Penrealm website for more information on these nibs.
See the chart below for all available nib options.

Section Grip Shape: I can customize the shape of your pen’s grip (section) to your preference: curved, tapered with a lip, or straight. If not specified, I will use the standard grip for the model. *Please note that I cannot make hooded nib sections.
Here are some examples of my curved grips, which are basically just a gentle curve. I can make the curve deeper if you prefer:
Here are some examples of my grips that taper down to a lip.
Section Grip Length: Most models have a standard length grip of 18mm or 23mm. In many cases the length can be extended. Note that on some models, extending the grip length will also require an extension of the cap length to accommodate the nib.
Extra Nibs – Extra nibs can be ordered in addition to the one that comes with your pen. Steel nibs are $25 each. All other nibs are as priced on the Price List page. All nib units simply screw in and can be swapped out easily.
Extra Sections – Some people like to have grip sections in a variety of colors to swap out when the mood strikes, or just to change the personality of the pen. For pricing on extra sections, see the Price List page.
Steel Nib Colors Available:

Polished Steel & Two-Tone (Note: Black Oxide nibs are no longer available.Two-tone steel nibs are limited in supply. They have been replaced by all gold-tone.)
