Fude nibs are a very special art supply. They are used for drawing due to their line variation. Fude nibs were created in Asia to mimic the traditional calligraphy brush. Fude means brush in Japanese. There are two types. Fountain pen made of metal, and soft synthetic tips similar to felt usually referred to as brush pens. Kim and Alan talk about three affordable Fude pens of the fountain pen variety made by Sailor.

The Well Appointed Desk, sponsor of Art Supply Posse, published a review of these pens in 2016.
