In all seriousness (feel free to fact check), these stems are hand-brazed and crafted by one Ms. Yabashi, a woman in her 50s employed at Nitto's factory in Tokyo.

Unique and immediately attention-grabbing, Nitto's lugged quill stem is like not other quill stem you've seen before. There's quality behind those looks, too, with specially-drawn Reynolds 853 chromoly steel construction for strength, a soft nickel finish and the exquisite craftsmanship Nitto brings to all their components.

Available in 90mm, 100mm & 110mm lengths.

Nitto lugged stems are not returnable.
