pen nib
Ink delivery tip
A pen nib is the pointed metal tip of a fountain pen or dip pen that touches paper and releases ink.
Nibs vary in width and flexibility, affecting line thickness and writing feel.
The term distinguishes this component from the pen body: I need to replace my pen nib—it's gotten scratchy.
