How should I hold my fountain pen?Updated 6 months ago

This is a very personal thing and should simply be at a comfortable angle for your writing style. Ideally the nib should receive even pressure on each half to avoid the risk of splitting the nib. Over a short period of time the malleable properties of the nib will allow it to contour to your writing style.


As the nib will be personalised by your handwriting it is best used only by one person. If you wish to gift your pen to someone we recommend you have a new nib fitted.
