Abstract
An integrated feather ink pen enables one to enjoy all of the benefits of the historic form of writing without the disadvantages. A shaped grip provides a comfortable means of operating the pen. A feather is attached to the grip to provide balance and a reservoir for ink or a compartment for an ink cartridge. The grip, together with an ink transport mechanism, serve to bind the nib to the feather. The ink transport mechanism is an ink feeder tube or a fibrous filament. Alternatively, the nib is dipped in ink.
