Matthew Chen is a full-time nib grinder from the Los Angeles, California area. He has had the honor of learning specialty grinds from both Yukio Nagahara, whose father created the Naginata series of nibs for Sailor, and Mike Masuyama, a legendary nibmeister whom he regularly works with at pen shows. The grinding machine he works with is designed to utilize the same grinding wheels that Nagahara and Masuyama use. Nagahara has granted him permission to provide the same specialty grinds he is known for.

Matthew will be offering the following nib grinding services on Sunday, January 18, 2026 from 10AM-6PM at our shop in Downtown Santa Ana, California (305 E. 4th St. Suite 103, Santa Ana, CA 92701) during our special in shop event with Tono&Lims A Deep Sea Walk 2026 Winter with M.Lovewell

Each 20 minute time slot will usually allow for 2-3 nib grinds. With 4 or more grinds please reserve another time slot. 
 

Nagahara Specialty Grinds ($80)

Kodachi : This grind is a Naginata Togi ground from non-Sailor blanks. It is designed to recreate brush strokes for Japanese and Chinese calligraphy when used a certain way. For western writing it will act like a very forgiving architect that has line variation depending on the writing angle. Coarse or Zoom nibs are ideal for this grind, though it can be done from as small as a Medium nib. 


Uranagi : A Kodachi flipped upside down, the regular writing side will write like an Ultra Extra Fine (this can be modified to your preference) and the reverse will write like a mini Kodachi. Broad nibs or larger are ideal for this grind. 


Fude Point : A nib bent up to utilize part of nib's body as a writing surface. This nib will write like a brush with variable line widths depending on the angle. This nib is picky on the inner cap clearance so it cannot be done on some pens. Steel nibs are recommended as the nib body will be used as a writing surface, but gold nibs do work as long as you know that the writing surface will wear down faster. 


Beak Point : The reverse of the Fude Point, the regular side will write like a normal nib while  the reverse side will write like a brush. 

Specialty Grinds ($70)

Japanese F to UEF/Needlepoint : Ultra fine points for your tiny writing needs.


Architect : A grind that has a thin vertical line and a thick horizontal line. Typical Architects require a very specific writing angle and can dig into the paper with any slight variance, however I make my architects on the rounder side to alleviate this issue. 

Standard Grinds ($60)

Stub, Cursive Italic, Sharp Italic : These types of nibs have a thick vertical line and a thin horizontal line to give your writing a flair. The difference is how thin the horizontal line is. A stub will be smooth with some line variation, a Cursive Italic will have a horizontal line as thin as possible without digging into the paper, and an Italic will have the thinnest horizontal line possible at the cost of smoothness. 


Obliques : Oblique grinds are meant for people that prefer to hold their pen at a rotation standard nibs are not meant to write at. These nibs can also angle the flair a Stub, Cursive Italic, or Sharp Italic has. 


Size Down : Sometimes the nib you bought is just too thick for your writing and you can't exchange it for a smaller nib. Grinding down the nib will bring it to a size you can use.

Tune/Smooth ($30)

If your pen is scratchy, too dry, too wet, or just doesn't want to work, a tune or smooth will get that fixed.

Good buy Pillowcases
Color: 08 - Sage Green, Size: King (20" X 36")
I bought these Bedsure king-size pillowcases from Amazon and overall I’m very happy with them. The first thing I noticed was how incredibly soft and smooth the fabric feels. They almost feel silky, which makes them very comfortable to sleep on. When you lay your head down, the material feels cool and gentle on the skin, which I really like. I also appreciate the zipper closure. It keeps the pillow securely inside the case and makes everything look neat and tidy on the bed. The zipper is hidden well and doesn’t feel bulky or uncomfortable. The only small downside is that the pillowcases are so smooth that the pillows can sometimes slide around or even slip off the bed a little. However, that’s really just because the material is so silky. Overall, I would still recommend these pillowcases. They are soft, comfortable, and feel like a nice upgrade compared to regular pillowcases.

Love the sheets but GOSH THEY STINK
Color: 19 - Forest Green, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
I have the dark green sheets and bought these for extra cases to match. I would give them 5 stars if it weren’t for the fact that they smell absolutely horrible. I am so surprised after reading reviews that more people don’t mention it?! Maybe it’s more prominent in darker colors but I have washed these now 3 different times even with scent beads and still hate the smell. I wish I could accurately describe what it smells like— it’s just not good and for some reason, body heat only exacerbates it and makes the smell even worse and I wake up feeling like a smell like the sheets… which isn’t a good thing. Besides that, I do really enjoy them. They feel great on your skin and I love the color. I wish the smell didn’t kill them so badly for me ☹️

Comfy soft pillow covers
Color: 02 - White, Size: Queen (20" X 30"), Color: 02 - White, Size: Queen (20" X 30")
Absolutely love these pillow cases! I bought 2 sets. After I received them & washed & dried them they did remain wrinkly. I just went ahead and put them on my pillows & the wrinkles went away. I continue to love the feel, coolness & comfort. Will definitely buy more.

Pillow cases are beautiful and soft, great quality. I had to return them because standard were too small. I am going to order queen instead.
