The body is made of natural wood with clear lacquer that highlights the wood grain.

The Tachikawa mount is a favorite among pros who use ink, like our resident cartoonist Curt. Unlike the Western style dip pen mount with a large, open hole and metal prongs, the plastic press-to-fit Tachikawa mount is rustproof and harder to gum up with ink. It also holds the nib much more securely than metal nib mounts, which lose their tensile strength when used repeatedly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note, a nib is not included. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/stlartsupply.mom\/collections\/dip-pens\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBrowse our selection of nibs and holders\u003c\/a\u003e to complete your pen-and-ink toolbox.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMeasures 140 mm (5.5\") without a nib attached.
