The copper nib was born from the desire to create a durable and practical dip nib. Enjoy a variety of line thicknesses, from fine to broad, by tilting the nib at different angles. Compatible with most pen holders, including those in our range.
*Pen holder sold separately.
The nib was designed by Yuto Yamazaki of the Alloy design studio, based in Kuramae. The tip was carefully rounded and polished, offering an exceptionally smooth and surprising writing experience. Perfected after many iterations, this innovative nib is one of a kind.
Ideal for artwork, the nib can be used at different angles to paint like a brush or create fine, detailed lines.
Material Properties
Copper naturally oxidizes when exposed to air. Your new nib may have a reddish tint or some spots — this is normal and does not affect its performance. Thanks to the metal’s natural softness, the tip gradually rounds with use, producing bolder strokes and smoother writing over time. Enjoy a tool designed to evolve with your personal writing style.
Care Tips
-
We do not recommend cleaning the grooves, as this could affect the nib’s performance. For more advice, see the full guide.
