Dip Pen

A dip pen is a traditional writing instrument consisting of a metal nib attached to a handle or holder. It is dipped into ink to load the nib with liquid ink, allowing you to write or draw by applying controlled pressure. Unlike modern pens, dip pens do not have an internal ink reservoir; they require frequent re-dipping to maintain ink flow. They are valued for their precision and the quality of lines they produce, making them popular among calligraphers and artists for detailed work. Using a dip pen offers a tactile experience and a classic, artistic approach to writing and illustration.
