Hunt Artists' Pen Nibs--Flexible Quill No. 108

Create crosshatching and flourishes with this flexible quill

Crosshatching demands a nib that responds to pressure variations without catching or splattering. The Hunt 108 delivers exactly that, a flexible quill point that swells from hairline to bold as you bear down, then springs back for delicate work. This bronzed steel nib excels at flourishing and lithographic techniques where line weight variation creates visual interest and depth.

Handcrafted in the USA from premium steel, the 108 maintains its flex characteristics through extended use. The quill profile suits both traditional pen-and-ink illustration and experimental mark-making. Crosshatch artists appreciate how the flexible point navigates directional changes smoothly, building tonal gradations without the rigid uniformity of technical pens.

Insert this nib into the Hunt 102 Crow Quill holder for proper grip and control. The bronzed finish resists corrosion while the flexible point adapts to your hand pressure, translating subtle variations in force into expressive line work. Whether you're rendering form through systematic hatching or adding ornamental flourishes to lettering, the 108 responds with the kind of sensitivity that makes ink work genuinely expressive rather than merely precise.
