Kakimori Nib in Copper

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 as well as those from our range. 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.
