Nibmeisters (or "nib meisters" or "nib grinders") are specialists at adapting a pen's nib from one shape to another. For instance, they can narrow a nib's width from a fine to an extra-fine. Alternatively, they can do a [[custom grind]] like a [[stub grind]], [[italic grind]], [[architect grind]], etc.

Nibmeisters are also often skilled at repairing damaged nibs, like a nib that has been bent as a result of dropping it. It's incredible to see how well the best nibmeisters can repair damaged nibs.

A stub grind is a form of [[custom grind]] that produces a thick down-stroke, a thin cross-stroke, and is relatively smooth to write with. It's commonly offered on new pens with down-stroke widths of 1.1mm, 1.5mm, and 1.9mm. It is sometimes available in narrower widths. A [[nibmeister]] can grind nearly any nib into a stub nib, so if you want a narrower down-stroke than 1.1mm, inquire with a [[nibmeister]] about whether your nib is a good candidate for a stub nib.

An [[italic grind]] is related to a stub grind, but the edges of an italic grind are sharper, giving it a thinner cross-stroke, but at the expense of being less smooth to write with.

In between the smoothness of a [[stub grind]] and the sharpness of an [[italic grind]] are the [[cursive italic grind]] and [[stub-italic-gradient grind]] (a proprietary grind by [[Franklin-Christoph]]).
