Use & Care
Write smoothly without applying too much pressure.
To prevent dried ink from accumulating in the grooves, rinse frequently with water during use.
Remove dried ink by gently scrubbing under water with a toothbrush.
If you use a detergent, choose a pH-neutral product. Avoid alkaline detergents, as they may damage the surface.
Metal crafted for the act of writing
Kakimori was born in Kuramae, a workshop district in Tokyo, with a simple idea: to rekindle the desire to write by hand. Starting from the dip pen, the brand designed a range of interchangeable nibs and holders, crafted according to universal specifications. The stainless steel metal nib is designed by Yuto Yamazaki, and the aluminum holder follows the design of the wooden model, this time machined from solid aluminum. Each piece is carefully finished and chosen separately, according to the way you write.
METAL AT KAKIMORI
What makes these pieces
Steel, stainless and durable
The stainless steel nib resists rust. Its tip, carefully rounded and polished, glides remarkably smoothly over the paper, from fine to broad lines depending on the angle.
Brass, which develops a patina
The brass nib develops a beautiful patina over time. Like the steel one, it goes from a fine to a broad line depending on its angle and can be used like a brush for drawing.
Universal ribs
Nibs and pen holders follow standard specifications, so each nib fits on every pen holder in the range.
Machined from solid aluminum
The aluminum pen holder follows the design of the wooden model, machined from solid aluminum and finished by hand. Heavier than wood (34 g versus 10 g), its weight balances the writing motion.
A redesigned fitting
The nib sits in a redesigned plastic fitting, made by Sakuma Special Steel and Furuta Kasei. Most standard nibs fit it.
One rinse is enough
Feathers require no special care; a quick rinse under water is enough to change the ink color.
