The long attachment on this Dezfuli qalam is made from the Javanese thorn grass, a preferred material among calligraphers for its hardness. It retains its sharpness even after rigorous use and it is said one of the calligraphy masters of the past was able to copy the entire Qur'an with Java reed without sharpening it.

In order to use the Java as a pen it has to be attached to a qalam or pen handle. Many times only a 1 inch piece is glued to the end of a pen handle. This style of attaching the java allows for the attachment of a long piece of Java, ensuring long use of the pen. Sharpened and ready to use; Multiple nib widths available.
