Kakimori Dip Pen Metal Nib – Brass

The brass nib was born from a desire for a durable and practical dip pen nib. Enjoy a variety of line widths from fine to broad by tilting the nib at different angles. Fits most nib holders as well as those from our range.

The nib was designed by Yuto Yamazaki of Kuramae-based design studio Alloy. The nib tip has been rounded and polished with meticulous care, providing a remarkably smooth writing experience that defies expectation. Perfected over many iterations, the innovative nib is like no other. Ideal for artwork, the nib can be used at different angles to paint like a brush or create intricate lines.

Use and Care:

• Initial ink flow may be slow due to the protective coating on the nib and will gradually improve with repeat rinsing and ink application.
• The maximum writing angle is 45 degrees.
• Insert into the nib holder with a gentle twist until fully seated. To remove, twist and pull slowly forceful removal may dislodge the nib mount.
• Strong impact to the precision-made nib may compromise ink flow.
• To prevent the build-up of dry ink in the grooves, rinse frequently in water during use.
• To remove stubborn dry ink, gently scrub in water with a soft toothbrush.
• Brass will develop a natural patina over time.
