Brause is a legendary company founded in 1850 in Iserlohn, Germany. That region was known for its craftsmanship with steel. Initially, Brause focused on making needles but expanded to bicycle wheel spokes and pen nibs in 1895. Brause then put Germany on the map of pen nib production by promoting its marketing slogan "Die beste Feder, lieber Sohn, sind die von Brause Iserlohn" (The best nibs, dear child, are by Brause Iserlohn).

Today, Brause's crafting pens nibs are deemed to be among the best by calligraphers all over the world. With over 150 years of manufacturing experience, Brause's nibs achieve a delicate balance between elasticity for easy writing and resistance for clear strokes.
