The nibmeister at work
I like fountain pens – they are my first choice of writing instruments.
But there are people who LOVE fountain pens. I saw a lot of them the other weekend when I went to a fountain pen show. (Yes. Those are Actual Events that many people attend.)
There were lots of vendors at the show; the most popular items seemed to be vintage pens (and vintage mechanical pencils), but there were new pens, lots of ink and paper options, and pen-specific vendors, like this gentleman. He’s a nibmeister (Yes. That is an Actual Profession) and he’s working on a custom grind on a pen nib.

I missed the Dallas Pen Show this year. Up until two years ago, I sold greeting cards made from my photos there. I started going to meet a friend I saw once a year there. He didn’t do the show this year either.

Maybe you and your friend can go next year! It was a lot of fun and I am planning to go back – I’ll look for you!

My friend usually is one of the sponsors of the show and has one of the larger tables. Inkpen is the name of the company.
Maybe next year would be fun.

Right? I’d heard of them, but this was the first one I’ve seen.
