Kakimori Metal Nibs & Dip Pen Tools

Kakimori metal nibs are thoughtfully designed tools made for ink sampling, drawing, and expressive writing. Developed as a durable alternative to fragile glass dip pens, these nibs offer excellent ink capacity, smooth flow, and precise control—making them a favourite among artists and fountain pen enthusiasts alike.


The Kakimori metal nib allows you to vary line width simply by changing the angle of the pen. Tilt the nib below 45 degrees to create undulating lines and painterly strokes, or hold it upright for clean, consistent marks. The solid brass construction develops a natural patina over time, adding character with continued use.

These nibs pair beautifully with Japanese notebooks for ink testing and sketching, and work especially well alongside our fountain pen inks. Explore more writing tools in the Kakimori collection, or browse our full range of fountain pens to build a complete writing setup.
