Special grinding services

Nagahara Special Grind - NT$2,450

Kodachi:Special grinding technique passed down by Master Yukio Nagahara. This grind is derived from the tradition of pre-war Japanese fountain pens and can imitate the writing effect of a brush - delicate vertical lines, heavy horizontal strokes, and extremely fine lines when written at a high angle.
Uranagi:A grind similar to a kodachi, but with the nib reversed. When writing on the front, it produces extremely fine lines (similar to the tip of a needle), and when writing on the reverse, it has an effect similar to a small sword, but the ink flow is smaller, allowing for finer strokes.
Calligraphy Nib:Developed by Master Nagahara, the nib itself is transformed into a writing surface, which can produce horizontal strokes of varying thickness like a brush. Recommended only forsteel tip.
Beak Nib:The pen tip is designed to be bent in reverse, the front side can be used for normal writing, and the back side can produce thickness changes like a calligraphy tip.
