Adaptors are devices that adapt our pens to small nibs. Our pens were originally designed for popular large flexible drawing nibs, such as the Brause Rose and Manga G nibs. These nibs require a large feed to work correctly.

Many people who draw, sketch and letter prefer using smaller nibs, so we provide adaptors for the following nibs:

• Crowquill adaptor for most crowquills, including the Hunt 102
• Hawk Quill adaptor  for most hawk quills, which are larger than crowquills, and include the Hunt 107 and Hunt 108 Litho Hawk Quill. 
• Gillott 303 adaptor for Gillott 303 nibs, perhaps the worlds most popular drawing nib

Each adaptor consists of the adaptor body, a feed matched to the nib, and the nib. You can remove the nib and feed to clean and replace them.

You can purchase additional nibs for your adaptors.

• Crowquill nibs
• Hawk quill nibs
• Gillott 303 nibs

Disassembling adaptors

Keeping your adaptors clean will prolong their useful life. To disassemble an adaptor:

1. Slide the adaptor out of the pen. The grip can be firm so you might want to push the adaptor out using a chopstick or similar firm thing rod. 

2. Pull the nib and feed out of the adaptor. 

3. Pull the nib off the feed. 

You can now clean the nib and feed, then reuse them or replace them with a new nib and feed.  

To assemble the adaptor, reverse the steps listed above - slip the nib over the feed, press the feed and nib into the front of the adaptor, then press the adaptor into the front of the pen.
