Kakimori Metal Nib - Brass

First time using these, and I am really enjoying it! Easy to use, super easy to clean. Perfect!

this bullet nib may seem a bit expensive compared to typical dip-pen nibs, but it's right in line with similar-quality bullet-style nibs. these bullet nibs hold far more ink than a typical dip nib and furthermore provide various surface orientations for adjustment of the thickness of the stroke.

this particular bullet nib is excellent -- it's voluminous, smooth, and the brass material is soft enough to express a bit of feedback in stroke pressure...clearly it does not produce nearly as much pressure-mediated line variation as a brush or even a flexible dip nib, but there is appreciable haptic feedback that feels appropriate to the trained hand.

i've only had this nib for a few days, but i'm enamoured with the feel of drawing with it, and i'm happy to finally have a high-volume dip nib that i can use for sketching out ideas in ink without having to re-wet the pen every other stroke.

This is a nice alternative to a glass dip pen but still a bit pricey. I like that this fits a standard size holder so I did not pair mine with a kakimori specific one.

It reakky pays to take the time to learn what this nib can do and how to use it.

Such a beautiful and unique way to use ink and experiment with ink properties. Not cheap, but I think it is worth it if you want to spend time appreciating the inks you own.
