Usage & Entretien
Write smoothly, without applying too much pressure.
To avoid the buildup of dried ink 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 product with a neutral pH. Avoid alkaline detergents that could 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 nib is signed by Yuto Yamazaki, and the aluminum holder follows the design of the wooden model, this time machined from solid aluminum. The aluminum cap replaces the plastic stopper of the ink bottle. Each piece is hand-finished and chosen separately, according to the way you write.
METAL AT KAKIMORI
What makes these pieces
Stainless steel, fine finish
The tip is rounded and polished, which provides fine and consistent writing. It is the nib for everyday writing and precise strokes.
Brass, like a brush
Tilted at 45°, the brass nib creates wavy lines and varied thicknesses. One dip in ink covers about a postcard size.
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 penholder follows the design of the wooden model, machined from a solid block. It is suitable for those who prefer lightweight pens.
A hood rather than a cap
The aluminum cap replaces the plastic stopper of the ink bottle. Each piece is hand-finished, giving the metal a smoothness that machines alone cannot achieve.
One rinse is enough
Feathers require no special care; a quick rinse under water is enough to change the ink color.
