Kakimori Metal Nib

$55.00
Kakimori

Settle into long, unhurried writing sessions with Kakimori's metal nibs. Thoughtfully crafted in brass or stainless steel, each nib pairs beautifully with Kakimori's nib holders and bottled inks to create a versatile range of marks—from delicate fine lines to expressive broad strokes, depending on the angle of use. 

The brass nib offers a soft, responsive feel ideal for creating undulating lines and marks, and it develops a natural patina over time that deepens its character. The stainless steel nib is durable and rust-resistant, perfect for fine linework and hand lettering, with a crisp, precise writing feel. Carefully rounded and polished, each nib glides smoothly across the page, offering an exceptionally fluid and enjoyable writing experience.

Care:  

  • 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.
