. . and build a tool set that works
Use any any ink or paint - you can't plug up our Classic pens because nothing will stick to them
Reasons to buy our pens
Each Classic pen is made from a solid rod of POM that is tough as nails yet smooth in the hand. Might seem a small thing, but it’s one of the best advantages - nothing sticks to POM. POM is expensive, which is why most pen companies don’t use it. All our pens are 100% recyclable.
. . because it gets plugged up with dried ink. If you leave your Classic pen full of India ink uncleaned for half a year, scrub the outside with warm water and soap, then field strip the pen in 10 seconds, clean out any plug, refill the pen with ink, and you’re back in business.
You can use a wide range of popular nibs to draw the line you want - Manga G, Hunt, Brause Rose and Leonardt Principal nibs, Speedball and Brause Blue Pumpkin nibs, Gillott 303 nibs, crowquills and Hawk quills, our own Sketch and Music nibs. Slip the nibs in and out.
. . more reasons
We provide feeds with a range of flow rates that work with different inks and paints. The correct flow is the most important action in a fountain pen. Again - our pens are modular - slip feeds in and out.
The ink flow is the result of many forces, but the most important are gravity, surface tension, and air flow. Except in our Classic Pump Pens. If you want a stronger flow, press the pump - you get what you press, from a drop to a gush.
Our pens were originally designed for India ink, but new dye-based inks are now available that are colorful, lightfast and delightful to use. Later in 2026 we plan to provide the option of using popular ink cartridges so you can use your favorite inks and replace empty cartridges easily.
. . yet more reasons
Writing and lettering are art forms. Calligraphers enjoy our pens because we cover a wide range of pointed as well as broad point nibs - Leonardt Principal, Brause Rose, Manga G, Mitchell Roundhand and Brause Bandzug broad point nibs.
We also move forward in time and use the latest software applications, including solid modeling and parametric design. We also use modern production methods and the right technology best suited for the product and design.
. . to resurrect drawing tools that used to be very popular. We produce nibs that emulate feather quill nibs used to write the Declaration of Independence and reed pens used by Vincent Van Gogh. Using them is like painting with a pen.
Answers to FAQs
That all depends on where you are. We ship most orders within 24 hours. Orders within the US usually take one to three days. Orders to Canada and Mexico take longer, perhaps a week. Orders to Europe and Asia can take from five days to two weeks depending on the reliability of your local post office.
You can use all inks and most paints in our metal nib pens and anything that flows in our Quill Nib pens. If you use think inks - what are called "fountain pen inks" - the flow might be too fast. In that case, you can throttle back the flow with restrictors or slow flow feeds.

Yes, just pull them out of the pen. You can clean and reuse nibs and feeds or slip in new ones. Our pens are modular regarding nibs and feeds.

Yes, that's what our pens were originally designed for. Since then the range of inks and paints has grown and grown together. Where ink turns into paint is a judgment call. You can use all artistic media in our pens.
