ALL RESERVATION FEES WILL BE APPLICABLE TOWARDS ANY NIB GRINDING SERVICES. RESERVATION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.

Matthew Chen is a full-time nib grinder from the Los Angeles, California area. He has had the honor of learning specialty grinds from both Yukio Nagahara, whose father created the Naginata series of nibs for Sailor, and Mike Masuyama, a legendary nibmeister whom he regularly works with at pen shows. The grinding machine he works with is designed to utilize the same grinding wheels that Nagahara and Masuyama use. Nagahara has granted him permission to provide the same specialty grinds he is known for.

Matthew will be offering the following nib grinding services on Sunday, January 18, 2026 from 10AM-6PM at our shop in Downtown Santa Ana, California (305 E. 4th St. Suite 103, Santa Ana, CA 92701) during our special in shop event with Tono&Lims A Deep Sea Walk 2026 Winter with M.Lovewell

Each 20 minute time slot will usually allow for 2-3 nib grinds. With 4 or more grinds please reserve another time slot. 
 

Nagahara Specialty Grinds ($80)

Kodachi : This grind is a Naginata Togi ground from non-Sailor blanks. It is designed to recreate brush strokes for Japanese and Chinese calligraphy when used a certain way. For western writing it will act like a very forgiving architect that has line variation depending on the writing angle. Coarse or Zoom nibs are ideal for this grind, though it can be done from as small as a Medium nib. 


Uranagi : A Kodachi flipped upside down, the regular writing side will write like an Ultra Extra Fine (this can be modified to your preference) and the reverse will write like a mini Kodachi. Broad nibs or larger are ideal for this grind. 


Fude Point : A nib bent up to utilize part of nib's body as a writing surface. This nib will write like a brush with variable line widths depending on the angle. This nib is picky on the inner cap clearance so it cannot be done on some pens. Steel nibs are recommended as the nib body will be used as a writing surface, but gold nibs do work as long as you know that the writing surface will wear down faster. 


Beak Point : The reverse of the Fude Point, the regular side will write like a normal nib while  the reverse side will write like a brush. 

Specialty Grinds ($70)

Japanese F to UEF/Needlepoint : Ultra fine points for your tiny writing needs.


Architect : A grind that has a thin vertical line and a thick horizontal line. Typical Architects require a very specific writing angle and can dig into the paper with any slight variance, however I make my architects on the rounder side to alleviate this issue. 

Standard Grinds ($60)

Stub, Cursive Italic, Sharp Italic : These types of nibs have a thick vertical line and a thin horizontal line to give your writing a flair. The difference is how thin the horizontal line is. A stub will be smooth with some line variation, a Cursive Italic will have a horizontal line as thin as possible without digging into the paper, and an Italic will have the thinnest horizontal line possible at the cost of smoothness. 


Obliques : Oblique grinds are meant for people that prefer to hold their pen at a rotation standard nibs are not meant to write at. These nibs can also angle the flair a Stub, Cursive Italic, or Sharp Italic has. 


Size Down : Sometimes the nib you bought is just too thick for your writing and you can't exchange it for a smaller nib. Grinding down the nib will bring it to a size you can use.

Tune/Smooth ($30)

If your pen is scratchy, too dry, too wet, or just doesn't want to work, a tune or smooth will get that fixed.

Sturdy portable tank
Size: 15 Gallon, Style: Heavy Duty (2 Wheel)
Strong portable waste tank. It is pretty tall (about 12 inches plus the height of the elbow). I had to raise my trailer jack most of the way up to raise the waste outlet high enough to facilitate draining. Once I figured that out, it works like a champ. The large wheels really help with transporting the full tank across my yard. Camco has included all the accessories needed to complete the job. The 15 gal capacity is pretty small...so you may have to split your job into multiple trips, but for as often as I might need it, it'll do.

Impressive Sound Deadening Solution with Enhanced Audio Quality
Model: NewSLS50_52
I recently purchased the Siless 50 mil (1.3mm) 52 sqft Car Sound Deadening mat, and I am delighted with the results it has delivered. Right from the start, I was impressed with the packaging, which ensured the product arrived in perfect condition. One of the standout features of this sound deadening mat is its ease of use. It was a breeze to cut and modify according to my specific needs. Whether I needed to cover specific areas or customize the size, the mat accommodated my requirements effortlessly. This flexibility made the installation process a breeze. The Siless Sound Deadening mat has proven to be highly effective in reducing outside noise within my vehicle. With just a half cabin install, I noticed a significant reduction of approximately 10 decibels, making my driving experience much quieter and more comfortable. The mat acted as a reliable barrier against external noise, allowing me to enjoy a more peaceful ride. Furthermore, the sound quality from my vehicle's audio system experienced a noticeable improvement. The Siless mat effectively dampened vibrations and minimized resonance, resulting in cleaner and more refined audio output. The mat's thickness of 50 mil (1.3mm) ensures optimal sound absorption, contributing to its effectiveness in creating a quieter and more enjoyable driving environment. I can now appreciate the full range of tones and enjoy a more immersive music experience during my drives. Overall, I highly recommend the Siless 50 mil Car Sound Deadening mat for anyone seeking a reliable and effective solution to reduce noise and enhance audio quality in their vehicle. The easy cutting and modifying process, along with the excellent packaging, contribute to a seamless installation experience. With a significant reduction in outside noise and an improvement in sound system performance, this sound deadening mat has exceeded my expectations.
