The stainless steel nib was created as a durable and practical nib. The nib point has been rounded and polished with meticulous care, providing an exceptionally smooth writing experience that defies expectation. Enjoy multiple line widths from fine lines to broad strokes with a tilt of the nib. Made to universal specifications to fit all standard nib holders, as well as those from our range.
*Nib only — nib holder sold separately.
Pair with Kakimori Pigment Inks and nib holder
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.

For the last two years in my pen journey I have seen a lot of products. And as a pen newbie the hobby can be overwhelming. But though I am still learning about what I like as far as vintage pens and modern counterparts also I really built up my ink inventory more quickly than planned. And during that journey I found my own style of swatching my inks and have tried different tools. In 2023, I almost gave up on Kakimori nibs due to them being sold out everywhere. I purchased both this month. Not only has the stainless steel nib been a lifesaver for me but has proven an invaluable tool. Not only can I swatch my inks more quickly and I do not have to worry about contamination between my ink samples and ink bottles. I’m still experimenting in using it as a writing tool (I need to find the right nib holder…I am using one that may be too short for me). Very happy with the stainless steel nib.
Every bit as lovely as it sounds.
It's a new and excellent pen nib
Really great nib
