Quill Nib Clear Demo Fountain Pen
Draw, letter and write with a quill nib in our Clear Demo Fountain pen. Quill nibs are smooth, flexible nibs that emulate a feather quill or reed pen depending on the size. Our quill nibs skate over paper effortlessly.
We looked for plastic material that would behave like metal nibs, but there is no plastic with as good a "memory" as certain specialized metals. Then we discovered that folder acetate film could give us nibs with the memory of metal and the smoothness of plastic.
Note: Our quill nibs are 100% recyclable and help us build pens and pen products that don't pollute our environment.
Many great masters used feather quills and reed pens to make exquisite drawings, including William Blake, John Ruskin, and Vincent Van Gogh. You can see a few of these sketches in our product photos.
Benefits
- Quill nibs skate across the paper effortlessly - it's like drawing on slick paper

- You can buy quill sticks that let you cut your own quill nibs to specific lengths
- Once you exhaust a quill nib from futher use, you can throw it away without worrying about adding to the world's plastic polution.
Note: Quill nibs are not plastic nibs. They are made from clear acetate, so 100% recylable. We are moving towards more environmental friendly materials where we can.

Everyone uses pens, we all have our favorites, and our favorites change over time. What we need is the infinitely configurable pen, but that defies the world we live in. There are physical contraints, and no more so than a tool we hold in our hands. It can't be too small or too big, too thick or too thin, and the feel must be appealing - our hands are very sensitive. The tool's performance must be excellent or we will move on until we find what we're looking for. Few things are more frustrating than a pen that doesn't work as expected.
We build pens for artists because everyone is an artist when they handle a pen, when they draw, write, even scribble. You are making your mark! A good pen should enable you to draw or write the way you want to. The pen should fit in your hand and feel comfortable. Most of all it should let you use nibs you enjoy and the inks and paints you want to use.
The perfect pen should be strong and durable yet easy to clean through frequent use with little maintenance, and survive the bumps and falls of everyday use. This is what we try to achieve using a combination of new technology and proven designs. We use CAD applications that let us produce novel designs using new machines that let us recreate features from the "golden age of fountain pens". We use modern materials that serve our purpose, feel good in your hand, remain good looking over time and through use, and prevent ink and paint buildup that can plug your pen.
There is no one pen that will provide everything you want, but we keep trying!
