  A good explanation can be found at ORB Online Encyclopedia – Manuscript Books that describes various ruling methods.

I am having a problem when cutting a quill. The problem is I cannot get the slit to stay together when I cut it there is always a gap and this is driving me nuts. Can you help? Thanks for your answer, HEL

  You might be putting too much pressure at the slit or not releasing it fast enough. It will take a little bit of practice to get the “feel” of how much pressure is needed to create the slit without creating a gap.
  Excellent information on how to cut a quill (with photos) can be found at Atlanta Friends of the Alphabet site.

  One of the best places for information on pointed pen script styles is at The International Association of Master Penmen, Engrossers and Teachers of Handwriting (IAMPETH).

  It’s been a while and I don’t want to give you obsolete information – perhaps a website that demonstrates sharpening knives?
