Quill Nibs
Quill nibs emulate feather quills and reed pens, but they're more versatile and durable. Twist and turn the nib for different effects. Press down on the nib to broaden your stroke. Shape the tip to your purpose - chisel edges, tapered tips, and every shape in between. Small quill nibs emulate feather quills, large quill nibs emulate reed pens, and medium quill nibs combine the qualities of both.
Quill nibs skate over paper effortlessly. They are durable and expressive tools to draw, write and letter with. You can cut the nib to your preferred shape - chisel edge, tapered tips, and every shape in between. Enjoy the experience of feeling the smooth nib skate across the paper.
Quill nib sizes
- Small quill nibs behave like feather quills from a goose or turkey. You must use an adapter to insert these nibs into our pens. We provide the adaptor with the pen your order.
- Medium quill nibs are slightly stiffer than small quill nibs but not as rigid as large quill nibs. You must use an adaptor to insert these nibs into our pens. We provide the adaptor with the pen your order.
- Large quill nibs behave like reed pens and let you cut a wider range of line shapes and widths. You do not need an adaptor to use these nibs in our pens.
Small and medium quill nibs need a collar to fit securely into the front of our pens. Large quill nibs do not need a collar.
You can also order quill nib sticks. These are longer quill nibs in all three sizes from which can cut shorter lengths.

Most of our orders ship from the NE coast of the US, which puts us a day away from half the population in the US. That location also speeds up shipping to Europe. Orders in Asia are going to take a little more time.
We offer a free 14 day money back return policy on all orders no questions asked. The customer pays the cost for return shipping. You can cancel an order if we haven't yet shipped the order.
