Specification
- Traditional Material: Reed pens are one of the oldest writing instruments, made from natural reeds (typically Arundo donax). This gives them a unique feel and produces a distinct line.
- Specifically for Arabic Script: The shape of the nib is carefully cut to create the characteristic thick and thin strokes found in Arabic calligraphy. This includes scripts like Naskh, Thuluth, and Diwani.
- Hand-Cut Nib: Each reed pen is typically hand-cut, which requires skill and experience. This means there can be slight variations between individual pens.
- Use with Various Inks: Reed pens work well with a variety of inks, including traditional calligraphy inks, India ink, and some watercolors.
