Elegant Butter Line Stub~Italic ~ "BLS"

BLS Modification ~ My specialty for exciting writing is my signature modification, the elegant Butter Line Stub~Italic (BLS) for your gold and steel nibs. My BLS mod is generally right at the apex of “smooth and crisp”. But since these are relative terms according to each of us, please feel free to request “smoother” or “crisper” at no extra charge.

Good Mod Candidates ~ Line variation on finer nibs (especially the Japanese sizes) is often quite subtle. Medium, and Broad are recommended. Fine nibs are questionable and some are too fine to guarantee satisfaction. I am always happy to advise on via email if you have any questions.

Added Flex ~ For a bit of extra line variation I can add a touch of flex to most gold and steel nibs. This will “fatten” your down strokes when applied, increasing the fun results already in place with the BLS. A touch of flex can be added to oblique BLS as well!

Please note: For the sake of return-shipping your pens in a timely manner, I am limiting send-in nib work to two pens. You may send two more as soon as your previous order arrives from me. The result is good timing for us all.
