Nib-grind review

Hi all,

I *really* like cursive italic nibs on my pens; I'm a lawyer so I
sign my name quite often, and I like the way my sig looks using a
cursive italic nib - and I don't have particularly good handwriting.
And too, they don't interfere with note-taking as a regular italic
does.

So when I wanted to have my new Pelikan 600 re-ground I contacted the
nib-meister who has done all of my other pens. Trouble was, he has a
12-week backlog, and I'm just a bit too impatient to tie up such a
nice pen for that length of time.

So I tried Pendemonium, and in 13 days had my re-ground pen in hand.
I inked it, and gave it a try. Not at all bad; it is a bit more
cursive than my others - that is to say, the sharp italic corners are
a bit more rounded (confirmed under the loupe), but not noticeably so
when writing. And it is certainly as smooth as writer as all of my
others.
And it cost me $15.00 rather than $35.00.

Pendemonium is highly recommended!

I also have had nibs ground by both places/persons.

Pendemonium offers a superior service, costs about 50% less, and
results in a superior product. I greatly prefer Pendemonium to the
other place you are talking about -- but I know exactly what it is.
