The Steel nib

Was born from a desire for a durable and practical dip pen nib. Enjoy a variety of line widths from fine to broad by tilting the nib at different angles. Ideal for artwork, the nib can be used at different angles to paint like a brush or create fine, detailed lines. 

The nib was designed by Yuto Yamazaki of Kuramae-based design studio Alloy. The nib tip has been rounded and polished with meticulous care, providing a remarkably smooth writing experience that defies expectation. Perfected over many iterations, the innovative nib is like no other.

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.

This nib is rust-resistant.

Insert into the nib holder with a gentle twist until fully seated. To remove, twist and pull slowly — forceful removal may dislodge the nib mount.

Nib 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.
