Nib & Ink

By price.

Every scored pen, bucketed by what it actually costs. We don't grade on a curve — a $25 pen at 88 is a better writer than a $200 pen at 80, full stop. Use the buckets to find the best writer in your budget.

Under $25

Entry-level pens that out-write their price.

$25 to $50

The sweet spot — steel nibs at their best, ready-to-go pens.

7 pens are not yet priced. Price-tagging happens as part of the scoring process — these pens will move into a bucket once their scores publish.
