Copper ages and patinas beautifully Remarkably smooth metal nib Adjust the angle to vary the line widthh Create expressive lines, including paint strokes For compatibility with nib holders from other brands, see Learn more The copper nib was born from a desire for a durable and practical dip pen nib.

The nib was designed by Yuto Yamazaki of Kuramae-based design studio Alloy. The nib tip has been rounded and polished with meticulous care, providing a remarkably smooth writing experience that defies expectation. Perfected over many iterations, the innovative nib is like no other. Ideal for artwork, the nib can be used at different angles to paint like a brush or create fine, detailed lines. Material properties Copper naturally oxidises when exposed to air. Your new nib may show a reddish tint or some spotting — this is normal and does not affect its performance. Thanks to the metal’s natural softness, the tip gradually rounds with use, resulting in bolder lines and a smoother writing experience over time. Enjoy a tool designed to evolve with your personal writing journey. Notes on care We do not recommend cleaning the grooves, as it may affect the nib’s performance. For more care instructions, please refer to the following guide. SPECIFICATIONS Product name Metal nib - Copper Dimensions H30 x Ø6mm Weight 4g Material Copper Design Yuto Yamazaki Manufacturer Alloy Inc. Made in Japan USE AND CARE Initial ink flow may be slow due to the protective coating on the nib and will gradually improve with repeat rinsing and ink application. The maximum writing angle is 45 degrees. Insert into the nib holder with a gentle twist until fully seated. To remove, twist and pull slowly — forceful removal may dislodge the nib mount. Strong impact to the precision-made nib may compromise ink flow. To prevent the build-up of dry ink in the grooves, rinse frequently in water during use. The metal nib is recommended for use with Kakimori and Inkstand inks. To remove stubborn dry ink, gently scrub in water with a soft toothbrush. If using detergent, a pH neutral detergent is recommended. Avoid alkaline detergents as they will damage the surface. KAKIMORI
