Custom Grinds

Special nib grinds by Meltem Hazarhun (@amphorastale), who ground our Kaweco pens recently.

Dentist (Soft Architect)

Reminiscent of the Architect nib, the Dentist nib stands out for its softer feel, providing a smoother writing experience with minimal feedback and reduced scratchiness. It's excellent for everyday writing tasks. Thin on the down stroke and wide on the side stroke.

Bilateral (Fude Italic)

This unique nib, known as a Fude Italic, is expertly shaped from a 1.1 nib. It offers versatility with its double-sided design, featuring a Fude style on one end and an Italic style on the other.

Fude Nib

Fude means 'bent' in Japanese. These are specialized nibs bent at the tip to give it a curved or rounded surface area.

Fine Italic

A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and notetaking. Fine Italic has fewer line variations and is great for small handwriting.

Medium Italic

A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and notetaking. Still a very common nib with more line variations.

Broad Italic

A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and notetaking. Almost the best line variations.

Double Broad Italic

A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and big handwriting. The best line variation. Compare to 1.1 standard nib IBB has more line variation and more feedback.

Oblique Medium

Allows for one that rotates their pen slightly. Standard 15 degree oblique.

Oblique Broad

Allows for one that rotates their pen slightly. Standard 15-degree oblique.

Oblique Double Broad

Allows for one that rotates their pen slightly. Standard 15-degree oblique.

Better than I could have hoped for! (And incredible customer service!)

I have a traditional architect nib and I love the way the writing looks but I loathe writing with it. I decided to give this dentist grind a try and it's incredible! While it isn't 'smooth' it's smoother than I expected for the type of grind and writing with it doesn't make me cringe. I also bought a broad nib that writes like a dream. I did order a third nib that had some issues. My email was promptly responded to and they did everything to make my experience right. Knowledgeable, courteous and professional; I'm even happier with the customer service than the nibs!

Nib Upgrade

Very happy with both the dentist and fude nib grinds. Fude is in my sketch kit, and the dentist is a nice writing nib — I want another when they are back in stock.

It's JoWo nib!

I was looking for JoWo nibs to replace my current pens' nibs and I found Galen Leather has offered them with a good price. I brought few of them. I am so happy with the quality. I also tried to replace Jinhao 100 and I was surprised it fit in, and the writing experience of Jinhao 100 has changed immediately. I am so happy with that.

Great nibs

I love these nibs. Whenever I buy a fountain pen that has a nib I don't like, like a bock or even a jowo that's not a broad or double broad, I replace it with a Galen Leather nib. They have never let me down.

Upgrade on my pen

Pastage was decent, items exactly as described, and made my existing pens more fun to write with. Has definitely opened up the horizon on buying pens I like the look of but aren't available in the nib I want, knowing that swapping out is simple.

Italic is perfection

The italic nibs purchased here are not only super affordable and reasonably priced they are ground with perfection. The fine and medium italic are my go to nibs and I literally want them in all my pens

Replacement Nib

Customer service and attention to details matter and Galen does both as well as any company I have purchased products or services from! This is a replacement nib for one that came with a pen that was less than perfect. Galen sent a replacement - no hassle, without questions. Best customer service - period!!
