The copper 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. Fits most nib holders.
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.
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 oxidises when exposed to air. Your new nib may show a reddish tint or some spotting — this is normal and does not affect its performance. Thanks to the metal’s natural softness, the tip gradually rounds with use, resulting in bolder lines and a smoother writing experience over time. Enjoy a tool designed to evolve with your personal writing journey.

Use and care:
- 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.
- When removing the nib from the nib holder, gently pull it out while turning to avoid dislodging the nib mount.
- 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.
- Brass will develop a natural patina over time.
