Kakimori Dip Pen Nib // Brass
The brass nib was born from a desire for a durable and practical dip pen nib. Enjoy a variety of line widths from fine to broad by tilting the nib at different angles. Fits most nib holders as well as those from the Kakimori range.
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 intricate lines.

Brass Care
Brass is a material that ages beautifully, developing a rich patina that is enhanced by use. It is also sensitive to moisture and humidity, which may cause rust or unwanted discoloration. Dry thoroughly whenever it comes into contact with water. To store the Metal nib in brass, remove it from the nib holder after use to prevent rust from forming around the insertion point. Take extra care to avoid rust on the nib tip which may affect writing quality. Applying strong force or impact to the precision-made nib may compromise ink flow. Please handle it with care.
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.
- When removing the nib from the nib holder, gently pull it out while turning to avoid dislodging 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.
- 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.
