Beryllium Copper - The new Gold?
Manu Propria, the first pen manufacturer using Beryllium Copper for their Nibs
Since several years, I have been working on finding new alternative materials for the manufacture of nibs. I finally found an extraordinary material that combines all the properties of a good nib: hardness, flexibility, shape retention, and corrosion resistance. The material is beryllium copper.

The nib is supplied with ink by an ebonite feed, all made in the Manu Propria Ateliers
