Episode 116: Grinding Fat-Bottomed Nibs with J.J. Lax
In this follow-up interview with nib meister J.J. Lax, we discuss grinding, tuning, and fixing fountain pen nibs. We get JJ's view on the best nibs out of the box, Bock vs. Jowo, and which types of nib grinds are the most popular. We also dispel the myth of the paper bag. If you have any nib-related questions and would like JJ to return to the show and answer them, e-mail us at [email protected]
