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 order more quill nibs and collars.
You can also order quill nib sticks. These are longer quill nibs in all three sizes from which can cut shorter lengths.

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!
