Description
The brass nib was created as a durable and practical nib. The nib point has been rounded and polished with meticulous care, providing an exceptionally smooth writing experience that defies expectation. Tilt the nib below 45 degrees to create undulating lines and paint strokes. Made to universal specifications to fit all standard nib holders, as well as those from our range.
*Nib only — nib holder sold separately.
In today’s world there are fewer and fewer opportunities to write by hand. Focusing on the simplicity of the dip pen, we developed a range of interchangeable nibs and nib holders.
Versatile and designed for long-lasting ownership, they represent a new kind of writing tool for our era.
MATERIAL FEATURES
- Brass will develop a natural character and patina with use. Enjoy your nib’s unique transformation.
- The nib offers an exceptionally smooth writing experience that defies expectation. Tilt the pen below 45 degrees to explore an array of line widths — create undulating strokes, or lay the nib flat to paint.
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.
- When removing the nib from the nib holder, gently pull it out while turning to avoid dislodging 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.
- If using detergent, a pH neutral detergent is recommended. Avoid alkaline detergents as they will damage the surface.
- Brass will develop a natural patina over time.

Kakimori Metal Nib - Brass
I bought this nib after a recommendation from someone who was adding gold embellishments to a water colour mixed media piece. It works really well and I don't have the fear of breaking it like a glass dip pen and it can go in circles unlike a normal dip pen. It fits perfectly into my Tachikawa T-40 nib holder. You can do thick and thin lines depending on the angle of the pen. It's great fun and I would recommend this nib.

Kakimori Metal Nib - Brass
A bit expensive, but it is a great little tool which works very well. I do know an artist who has had hers for some years and it is still going strong.

Kakimori Metal Nib - Brass
It fits perfectly into my tachikawa nib holder, it does take a little getting used to when using it. But it’s fun to experiment and the ink holding capacity is around an a5 page.
