Pelikan M1000 Modifies for Flex Nib Unit
I have made this nib from two pelikan M1000 nibs. The nib is fitted into a Bock 380 housing that can be used in Gravitas Monster.
Care should be taken not to over-tighten the monster cap because the nib can be squished, and the Gravitas section breaks easily.
The nib offers flex from approximately 0.4 mm up to around 5 mm; however, for longevity, a recommended flex range of 2–3 mm is advised. Ink flow is carefully calibrated.
Please note that flex nibs require skill and practice. While I strive for complete customer satisfaction, any damage from misuse may be irreparable. I may assist with minor repairs, but due to the bespoke nature and labor involved, I urge customers to be certain of their purchase. Routine returns cannot be accepted, except in exceptional cases such as a confirmed postal loss after investigation.
I am not affiliated with any brands; any brand names referenced are the property of their respective owners. Due to the custom and specialized nature of my work, returns are only considered under special circumstances, with a 20% fee if applicable. Ensure you are familiar with flex nib technique to avoid irreparable damage. If unfamiliar, consult instructional resources. For questions or to view photos of your ordered pen or nib, reach out to me on Instagram @DrShakMD.
Any used or secondhand pens listed on my site are from my personal collection that I am rehoming. I do not represent the original manufacturer or branding.
Sincerely,
Shak
