Fude Fountain Pen Nib

Looking for the ultimate inky goodness? This is the nib for you! Fude means "brush" in Japanese, and it’s an absolute ink monster, effortlessly laying down expressive strokes without hesitation. With its distinctive bent tip set at a 45-degree angle, the Fude nib allows you to control line width simply by adjusting the angle of the pen to the page – perfect for creating everything from bold, sweeping strokes to delicate, fine lines.

Don't expect a traditional fountain pen nib experience here, this nib is perfect for those who prize experimentation over perfectionism. It's the ideal nib for lettering enthusiasts, illustrators, or anyone looking to explore their artistic side, the Fude nib transforms ordinary pen strokes into something extraordinary.

Made exclusively for our fountain pens, all nibs are tipped with hard-wearing iridium for effortlessly smooth writing. You can choose between uncoated stainless steel (a sleek silver finish) or 14k gold plating (a classic gold finish) – the difference is purely aesthetic, so both options offer the same exceptional performance. Plus, every nib is interchangeable, allowing you to effortlessly switch styles whenever inspiration strikes.

Whether you're sketching, journaling, or signing your name with a flourish, the Fude nib is your go-to for endless creative possibilities.

Brilliant for sketching

Really juicy and quirky nib which gives lots of texture and line variation . I had a slight issue with the order which was very quickly resolved. Nothing is ever 100% perfect - the important thing is how issues are resolved. 5 stars for the nib and 5 stars for customer service.

Not sure the ink flow is sufficient for what seems to be a thirsty tip.... I feel the resevoir in the tip is nit drawing sufficient ink into it to replace whats used.

But i will continue to practice and see if its a skill issue on my part.

Good and bad points

I have several fude nibbed fountain pens and was keen to try this one to go with my Tom’s Studio fountain pen. I use them for sketching. Fude nibs are all about the ink flow. Many are just too generous but this one is excellent - not too much or too little. The bad point is that it is so scratchy - almost to the point of being unpleasant to draw with. It’s frankly not in the same league as my other Tom’s Studio nibs - which is a shame.

Hey Malcolm,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review! Sorry to hear your Fude nib is feeling a bit scratchy. I’ve just popped you an email to see if we can get it back for a bit of sanding. As all our nibs are hand-ground, the occasional one can slip through the net. Hopefully, we can get it sorted for you in no time!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Warm wishes,
Rachel
