Smooth cow bone with a metal nib, each one has a unique color to it. The nib is replaceable so the pen can be used for years to come. They will fit in all of the writing boxes.
6" long
What a lovely writing tool. The bone pen is well made and a pleasure to write with. The weight is especially nice; in fact, my daughter picked it up, smiled, and added one to her Christmas list. The pre-mixed India ink is convenient and I will be ordering more - both for myself and my classroom.
Was better than expected. Well made.
Firstly the pen is perfect. It has a great feel a nice sharp nib, and the bone really gives it a great character. However the inkwell leaks very easily, so I don’t recommend filling it up too high and be cautious moving it while full. I also have an issue with the powdered ink. The directions only include adding water, but I find that is far too runny. I suggest looking up recipes online to find a bonding agent to thicken it up. Overall still a good purchase for someone interested in classic writing.
