The bundle we cut and sell from. Rs. 60 buys one qalam from this stock, so order the quantity you actually need.
Description
First, the thing worth being clear about: this is priced per qalam. Our photographs show the bundle we cut and sell from, because a single reed on a white background tells you nothing about the wood — but what ships for Rs. 60 is one qalam, not the stack. Order the quantity you want and that is what arrives.
At this price it exists for three sensible reasons. It lets somebody try khatati before spending on a graded set. It replaces the single width you actually use, after months of re-cutting have shortened it past comfort. And it lets a teacher put a real reed pen in the hand of every student in a class without buying twenty boxes.
Each qalam is cut by hand from natural cane, which is visible in the bundle: shade runs from pale straw to light honey, some barrels carry the dark speckling of the outer skin, and a few show the ring of a growth node. Widths vary a little from one qalam to the next as well. If you need a specific width, a numbered khatati set is the right buy — this is a working qalam of ordinary size, not a chosen one.
The cut itself is the same as on the sets: an angled chisel edge with a long teardrop hollow scooped behind it. That hollow holds ink after a dip and feeds it forward as you write, which is what separates a qalam from a sharpened stick. Dip, draw the surplus off against the neck of the bottle, and write until it runs dry.
Ink is not included and there is no holder — it is one bamboo qalam. When the edge dulls, a sharp blade renews it at the same angle; a qalam bought once at this price and re-cut properly will outlast several plastic-tipped pens.

FAQs
How many qalams do I get for Rs. 60?
One. The price is per qalam and our photographs show the bundle we cut and sell from, not the quantity that ships. If you want several, order the number you need — many customers buy five or ten at a time, and teachers often take one per student.
Can I choose the width of the qalam?
No, not on the single piece. These are cut to an ordinary working width and vary a little between one qalam and the next. If you need a specific width, or a graded range to work across, buy one of the numbered khatati qalam sets instead — those are sold as a scale rather than a single pen.
Why do the qalams look slightly different from each other?
They are cut by hand from natural cane. In the bundle you can see shades from pale straw through to light honey, dark speckling on some barrels where the outer skin remains, and the occasional growth node. None of that affects how the qalam writes.
Is one qalam enough to learn khatati with?
To begin with, yes. A single qalam and a bottle of ink is a complete setup for learning to hold an angle and pull an even stroke, which is the whole first stage. A graded set only becomes useful once you are writing at more than one size.
Does this calligraphy qalam come with ink?
No. It is one bamboo qalam on its own — no ink, no holder and no case. A qalam is a dip pen, so you will need a bottle of calligraphy ink, and one bottle serves any number of qalams.
What is the hollow cut behind the nib?
That is the ink well. It fills when you dip the qalam and releases the ink forward to the cutting edge as you write, which is why a reed pen can carry a stroke instead of drying out after a letter or two.
How long does a single bamboo qalam last?
As long as there is cane left to cut. The tip is renewed with a sharp blade at the same angle when it dulls, and each re-cut takes a few millimetres off the length. Most people retire a qalam only when it has become too short to hold comfortably.
Can I pay cash on delivery for Calligraphy Qalam (1 Piece) in Pakistan?
Yes. Cash on Delivery is available across Pakistan, including Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Rawalpindi and many other cities.
How fast is delivery in Pakistan?
Orders are confirmed on WhatsApp before dispatch, including the quantity of qalams. Delivery usually takes 3-5 working days in major Pakistani cities.
