Automatic Pen No 8

The Automatic Pen No 8 is an essential tool for broad-stroke calligraphy, ideal for experimental or formal writing styles. Handcrafted in England since the early 1900s, it features two nickel-silver blades that retain ink for a steady flow. As one of the most versatile options among Calligraphy Pens, it can be used with various inks such as china, acrylics, gouache, and watercolors. This model comes with a two-line 4.5 mm nib. Tip: Wash the blades with warm soapy water before first use to remove any protective oily film.
