Those of you who I met at various pen shows may remember me. I have 23 years of experience with Sailor. I have been blessed with the opportunity to work extensively with "the god of fountain pens" Mr. Nagahara and his son. I learned from them the various subtle causes for a pen to lose its true smooth writing. As for the nib adjustment techniques, I learned directly from one of the most respected Japanese "pen-doctors," Mr. Kawaguchi. In recent years, I have worked as a distributor for companies such as Ancora, Conway Stewart, Sailor, and Stipula. I have extensive experience making repairs and adjustments, especially with those by the aforementioned companies and also those by Conklin, Delta, Ferrari da Varese, Platinum, and Visconti, etc. I hope that my experiences and skills with fountain pens will be able to benefit you. Please refer to my web page for the details. Thank you. _http://mikeitwork.com_ (http://mikeitwork.com/) Michael Masuyama Mike-It-Work _mikeitwork@xxxxxxxxxx (mailto:mikeitwork@xxxxxxxxx) As a long time Sailor dealer and one who has worked with Michael for the last 10 years or so, he is one of the very best nib meisters around, especially when it comes to setting flow and smoothing nibs, which of course is the heartbeat of any fountain pen. I recommend him most highly. You will not be disappointed in his work. No affiliation; just a very happy customer. Cheers!
