Synthetic Peacock Quill

As far as synthetic quills go, these quills from Hemingway are about as good as we have found.

With real peacock finding its way onto the CITES list, synthetic quills are an increasingly more attractive option for creating realistic segmented bodies. This is the opaque version of Hemingway's quills
