About Nibmoor
A pen shop that writes with everything it sells.
We opened on Kerkstraat in 2019 with forty bottles of ink and one nib-grinding wheel. The idea has not changed: test every pen by hand, swatch every ink the same way, and tell people honestly which one fits.

What happens at the bench
Every pen passes through four pairs of hands. Well, two pairs, four times.
01
Inspect
We check the tines under a 10× loupe for alignment and gap before anything touches ink.
02
Ink & write
Each pen is filled with Bosphorus Teal and writes a full A5 page of figure-eights and real sentences.
03
Tune
If the flow is stingy or the nib catches, we smooth or adjust it until it glides on 90 gsm paper.
04
Flush & pack
We flush, dry overnight and pack with a written card noting the nib, ink used and who tested it.
