This traditional calligraphy tool is handcrafted by hand in our shop.

IMPORTANT: the slit of the end of this tool, which gives it its soupless and sensitivity, is also what gives it fragility. For hands a little heavy, or in the case of use between inexperienced fingers, we recommend checking the option « end not split », this will extend the life of your pen...


For a longer autonomy with ink, we advise you to adapt a small « reservoir » that you will make very easily (see our photo) : cut out a strip about 2 mm wide by 3 cm in length from the light metal of a soda can. Curve it as shown on our model, and insert it into the shaft of the feather, the end coming to be placed a few millimetres behind the edge.
