Quill Pens

Quill pens are writing instruments made from the feathers of large birds, like geese or swans. Their tips are cut into a pointed nib, which can be dipped into ink to write. Historically, quills were the primary writing tool before the invention of metal pens. They offer fine control and a distinctive, elegant line quality. Proper maintenance involves regular trimming of the nib and careful cleaning to prevent ink clogging. Though less common today, quill pens are valued for calligraphy and historical reproduction, symbolizing craftsmanship and tradition in writing.
