New Elegant Calligraphy Feather Pen Set - Black Ink / 5 Nibs / Maroon Feather

Description

Elegant Calligraphy Feather Pen Set - Black Ink / 5 Nibs / Maroon Feather
Nowadays we've nearly given up the pen (which is mightier than the sword, we've heard) for the keyboard. Nevertheless, for those that are into the fine art of writing, there is nothing finer or more elegant than crafting words or illustrations with a traditional dip pen. This is a dip pen, crafted of natural feather and steel alloy.
ETCETERA:
- You can write 20-30 English letters or 20-25 Chinese characters after dipping the ink once
- Set includes 5 dip pen nibs (1mm, 1.2mm, 1.8mm, 2mm, 3mm), as well as black ink
- The feather is maroon (or burgundy), a natural material and inevitably has certain small natural flaws (color may vary)
- Perfect for calligraphy, the pen moves smoothly, is wear resistant and lightweight
ETCETERA, ETCETERA:
The earliest known split-nib metal dip pen is a surviving copper-alloy pen found in Roman Britain (AD 43 to 410). Several other surviving all-metal and removable-nib pens from the Middle Ages and Renaissance have been found, suggesting they were used alongside quill pens.
Dip pens emerged in the early 19th century, when they replaced quill pens and, in some parts of the world, reed pens. Dip pens were generally used before the development of fountain pens in the latter 19th century, and are now mainly used in illustration, calligraphy, and comics.
The dip pen has certain advantages over a fountain pen. It can use waterproof, pigmented, iron gall ink, particle-and-binder-based inks, such as India ink, drawing ink, and acrylic inks with virtual impunity while fountain pens must use water based inks (except in a few special cases), should be thoroughly and regularly cleaned to prevent clogging when used with pigmented or waterproof inks and can corrode when used with iron gall ink (dip pen nibs may also corrode when used with iron gall ink but it is not as likely nor as problematic as the nib of a dip pen is often cleaned after each use and is easily replaced if irreparably damaged). Dip pens are also more sensitive to variations of pressure and speed, producing a line that naturally varies in thickness.
