Discover a new way to write and draw with this beautifully crafted copper dip pen nib. Designed by Yuto Yamazaki of Tokyo-based design studio Alloy, this innovative nib delivers an exceptionally smooth writing experience while offering a wide range of expressive line widths. Simply adjust the angle of the nib to create everything from fine details to bold, brush-like strokes, making it ideal for lettering, sketching, illustration, and calligraphy.
Made from solid copper, the nib naturally develops a rich patina over time, giving each one a unique character. As the soft metal wears with use, the tip gradually rounds, creating even smoother writing and broader, more expressive lines. It's a tool designed to age beautifully alongside your creative practice.
Copper naturally oxidizes, so your nib may arrive with slight color variations or small spots. This is completely normal and does not affect performance. To preserve the nib's writing characteristics, avoid cleaning the grooves.

How To
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Copper will develop a natural patina over time.
