"Breaking-in Fountain Pens" - Truth or Fiction? by morten

"grinding" glass dip pens? by kcat
note: not talking about Ernst pens here. I know the nib on a glass dip pen can be smoothed. What I don't know (among many other things) is whether or not it can be shaped in a similar fashion that metal nibs are shaped - essentially - I'd like to see if I can turn a glass pen into a "stub" of...
