Customization Guide
Stub
 
|
Above is the same size nib after a regrind to Stub. A regrind to Stub is often a good place to start for your first customization. Â A Stub nib provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes while writing, and is less position-sensitive on the paper than the crisper and slightly more demanding cursive italic.
|
Cursive Italic
 
|
More demanding, but also providing crisper edges and more line-width variation, is the very popular customization to Cursive Italic. This also provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, but is also more position-sensitive in terms of how the pen is held and requires more skill on the part of the user. This is a common customization for artists and calligraphers, but is still smooth enough to make for a good everyday writer.
|
Formal Italic
 |
Formal Italic is an even crisper and more demanding customization than either cursive italic or left oblique, and is usually utilized for calligraphy and by the most experienced users. This provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, with even crisper corners and edges than a cursive italic - this is an extremely position-sensitive customization.
|
Left Oblique
 |
 Commonly used for signatures and correspondence, the Left Oblique customization provides broad diagonal strokes and narrow cross-strokes, and like a cursive italic, is more position-sensitive and demanding than a stub. The whole pen must be rotated to the left in order to write smoothly, without skipping. The "Left" in Left Oblique refers to the cut of the nib itself, and does not refer to the handedness of the writer. |
Architect's Point (Also for Arabic and Hebraic writing)
 |
A more exotic regrind is that to Architectâs Point. Named after the style of writing used by Frank Lloyd Wright, this regrind is the opposite of cursive italic, and provides for broad cross-strokes and narrow down-strokes. This also tends to be a particularly useful customization for those practicing Arabic or Hebraic calligraphy. |
Spencerian
 |
Perhaps our most popular customization, but also one of the most advanced, the Mottishaw Spencerian Customization has gained special attention from being featured in a customer's YouTube video which has now received over twelve million views! The Spencerian starts from a semi-soft 14k nib and adds additional flex and a regrind to needlepoint to create a specialized writing point used for copperplate calligraphy.

The striking Ebonite Sculpture Fountain Pen by Sailor was inspired by the quiet of late night and is designed to make your evening journaling routine more elegant and memorable than ever. Each pen in the Ebonite Sculpture Fountain Pen series is designed to reflect a different part of the night. Yogazsumi (Night Haze) has a sandblasted and bead blasted finish for a rough texture that is pleasant to the touch and represents the haze of night fluttering at the foot of a mountain. Yakoh (Night Light) is a diamond-cut sculpture with layers of circles that seem to shift in appearance as the angle and type of light reflect off its surface like glowing diffuse light on a night road. Yokaze (Night Breeze) is engraved with beautiful vertical lines to express the feel of a night wind blowing through empty streets. These pens come with world-renowned, 21-karat gold nibs that provide a consistent, stable supply of ink and a satisfying, comfortable writing experience. Each pen also features additional gold IP features, such as a ring on the cap near the finial with the Sailor logo engraved that will keep these pens from rolling off smooth surfaces. Included with each pen will also be a 20ml bottle of ink from the Ink Studio Series by Sailor. Cartridge/converter fill with the converter included. PENS ALL HAVE CAPS BUT NO CLIPS.
