{"product_id":"bandzug-180-calligraphy-nibs","title":"Bandzug #180 Calligraphy Nibs","description":"\u003cp\u003eBandzug Calligraphy Nibs are a long-running and popular option for all kinds of flat-nib lettering styles, such as Gothic, Round Hand, Uncial, and Italic. These German-made steel nibs have flat writing tips, capable of making broad downward strokes and thin sideways strokes. Each one has a reservoir piece attached to the top of the nib — this provides extra surface area and more ink capacity, which is especially important with the larger Bandzug sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade by Brause in Iserlohn, Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: almost all pen nibs, new and vintage, are coated with a varnish that needs to be removed before use. Otherwise the ink won't stick to the nib properly and you'll mess up your paper. To remove the varnish, just dip the pen in ink and wipe it off, then repeat once or twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold individually.
