"Norman, the Duke Mako green marble pen was
received well. Nice smooth nib. It will be used many years to come. As with my
other Duke pens, I really enjoy them all."
M. H., Mililani, HI
"Norman, I wanted to let
you know the children have arrived! I've already filled and used the Mako and
it's great. I love a pen with some weight. I can already feel the same with
the Pinstripe...The weight on both pens is good
and the action is smoooooth! I like a weighty pen so I don't have to bear down
(ballpoints). These just lay in your hand and you can guide the point. Thx
again."
"Hi Norman, thanks again for quick delivery of the
pens. I got mine Thursday and Britta's arrived in CA on Friday. She
immediately filled her 616 and started writing
a letter; she loves the retro design and the burgundy ink. I'm greatly
impressed with my 616 demi as well. I bought it as a "pocket pen," easy to
carry and take notes with, and I've already found myself favoring it even over
my trusty Pilot 78Gs—it's so light and writes so
easily that sometimes it's almost like I'm not holding a pen! The Mako is a
beauty; it feels and writes like a high-class European pen, but the whole
family has admired the design and color. My 4-year-old son volunteered to
clean it before I filled it, leaving me to take care of the 616 by myself.
And the penroll is lovely, too—I had a little
trouble getting it back from my 2-year-old, who immediately decided such a
colorful case should be for his own treasures! I attended my first writing
workshop in years today, and used the 616 the whole time; I'm delighted that
using these pens has helped me rediscover my love for writing. Thanks again,
and be well."

IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace. The only 100% guarantee of course
comes when the pen is
actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our
pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is
getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using
a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords
our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from
His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!

Warranties and returns If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment. Should you wish to return a non-defective
item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit you for some reason, again
please email us and we'll arrange an exchange, credit or refund (minus any
shipping/insurance charges), if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition.
If you've dipped a fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean
off any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty surprise
We want you to be happy with your purchase from HisNibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
