On Nibmeisters
I thought that today, we would talk a bit about nibmeisters: people who tune and grind nibs.
Here are some of my favourite nibmeisters:
Michael Masuyama
Dan Smith
Mark Bacas
John Mottishaw
Linda and Mike Kennedy
Pendleton Brown
Richard Binder, retired, but great reference pages
And many others: run a google search for nibmeister…
