I received my LAMY 2000 in a timely manner and it writes like a dream. This is my first experience with nib alteration. Mark and co. made it painless, very professional. The price was very fair also. I will send every pen I need work done to Nib Grinder from now on. Seriously. this was one of those transactions that you’ll remember for a long time.

Mark:
I received my pen back today, and it is wonderful! Just as I predicted, women will faint, grown men will weep openly when they see how beautiful this pen writes!
You are the man! And from now on, you get all my nibmeister business, and I’m telling all my friends.
Thanks!
— Nathaniel
Thanks for everything that you do!  Your high quality of customer service and responsiveness is very much appreciated, I wish other businesses could replicate your business model and execution!  Every grind you do on a pen seems to be my next favorite pen as it is the pen that is mostly used for me!  I have no doubt the Montegrappa and Platinum pens you are sending me will become my next mostly used pens!  Thanks again for everything you do!  From the initial customer service to the high quality of the grind to the payment and delivery, everything is of a high caliber.

Thank You!
— Rod
Daniel,
I cannot begin to thank you enough for referring me to Mark Bacas.
Beyond being a superb craftsman, he’s a magician. He turned my mangled nib back into its original form, functioning perfectly.

To be concise, I’m ecstatic. You exceeded my expectations. My Delta is now my standard to which all my other pens will be compared.
— Steven W
I don’t mean to spam your inbox, but I wanted to let you know that even after over a year, this lamy 2k nib that you fixed for me is still one of my favorite nibs.  I’ve delved quite far into this hobby and I’ve had you tune a couple of sailors for me (they’re also fantastic), but whenever I reink this pen it blows my mind how a pen I thought was ruined was turned into one of the tools that gives me the most joy to use.  Thanks again for fixing this pen for me, it’s always a pleasure working with you and I have nothing but admiration for the skill you’ve honed at your craft. Have a great weekend!
— Gabe
I really appreciate you making my pen amazing again! I am not kidding when I say it feels way better than it did even when it was when I first got it! I thought it was smooth then, I have no idea what sort of voodoo magic you worked on it, but it is impressive! :D
— James
