The pen holder is one of the most elegant calligraphy tools available. Its main element is the feather, a piece of metal with a split beak-shaped end, which is usually a so-called "pointed" feather.
The pointed nib needs to be regularly refilled with ink because it does not have a tank. Its principle is to press on the feather; the spout will open and allow the ink to flow in. It is very popular with pen holders.
The are also different fountain pen holders, available in two models: oblique which has a very pronounced writing angle (45º) and straight, the most known because it is similar to all the pens and pencils that are handled on a daily basis.
The cane pen is a much older tool and therefore more rustic and rudimentary. It is originally a piece of bamboo cut on both sides with an ink reserve to draw fine lines. Its particular advantage is that it does not scrape, and therefore, does not damage the paper.
