History

Founded in 1850 in Iserlohn, Germany, a region famous for the quality of its steel and the skill of its craftsmen, Brause was initially a needle-maker, but expanded to include pen nibs in 1895. Today Brause nibs can be found in the toolbox of many professional calligraphers, lettering artists and illustrators and are considered to be among the finest available.

Steel Nib Manufacturing

Brause manufactures steel nibs for writing, drawing, and calligraphy. The quality of craftsmanship is renowned by calligraphers worldwide. Offering a subtle balance between relative elasticity for easier writing and the resistance necessary for clear strokes, Brause nibs are manufactured from cold rolled steel and pressed with tools specific to each model and size. The most delicate part of the manufacturing process involves cutting a slit down the middle of the nib, enabling the ink to flow correctly and freely from the reservoir to the tip of the nib.
