Nib Pen Dip Pen
Metal or BambooVariety of Sizes
A dip pen or nib pen usually consists of a metal nib with capillary channels with no ink reservoir; therefore the user has to recharge the ink from a bowl or bottle.
Recharging can be done by dipping into an inkwell; you can also charge the pen with an eyedropper which gives them more control over the amount of ink applied. Thus, "dip pens" are not necessarily dipped.
A “crow quill” nib is smaller than traditional nibs, is formed into a tubular shape and uses a smaller holder than other nibs. Good for rapid sketching, crosshatching, etc. They are capable of producing lines so fine that they are irreproducible when printed. They can also deliver very bold lines, and hold a lot of ink. It has a stiffer, pencil-like action.

Nib pens are sensitive to variations of pressure and speed, producing a line that
naturally varies in thickness.
