Draw, letter and write with a quill nib in our Quill Nib Classic Pump Pen. Quill nibs are smooth, flexible nibs that emulate a feather quill or reed pen depending on the size of the nib. Many great masters used feather quills and reed pens to make exquisite drawings, including William Blake, John Ruskin, and Vincent Van Gogh. Our Pump Pen is the ideal platform for this nib because you can press the pump to get a stronger flow. You get what you press - from a drop to a gush. Great for inking in large areas, working with thicker inks and paints.

Benefits

• Quill nibs skate across the paper effortlessly - it's like drawing on slick paper
• You can twist and bend the quill nib to create different drawing effects while the pen holds the nib securely in place
• You can use any ink, including India ink and acrylic paint. Quill nibs are ideal with thicker inks and paints that don't work well with other nibs and brushes
• Shape the quill nib for your purpose - everything from a chisel tip through pointed tip to "handed nib" for right or left handed drawers
• Buy quill sticks that let you cut your own quill nibs to specific lengths

Note: Quill nibs are not plastic nibs. They are made from clear acetate, so 100% recylable. We are trying to move towards more environmental friendly materials where we can.

Quill nib sizes

• Small quill nibs behave like a genuine feather quill pen
• Medium quill nibs provide the advantages of both small and large nibs
