Fine hairlines and intricate details demand a nib that responds to the lightest pressure without catching or splattering. The Hunt 104 delivers exactly that control. This superfine point excels at delicate cross-hatching, botanical illustration, and calligraphic flourishes where line weight needs to shift from whisper-thin to barely-there. Handcrafted from premium steel in the USA, each nib undergoes quality checks that mass-produced alternatives skip entirely.

The 104's geometry balances flexibility with structural integrity, enough give to vary line width through pressure changes, enough backbone to prevent the irritating flex that causes ink pooling. Insert it into a compatible #104 pen holder (sold separately) and you gain immediate control over India ink, sumi ink, or acrylic ink applications. Calligraphers appreciate how cleanly it executes hairline serifs. Illustrators rely on it for adding fine details to pen-and-ink drawings without overwhelming broader linework. The nib wears gradually rather than failing suddenly, giving you consistent performance through extended projects before replacement becomes necessary.
