TachikawaComic Pen Nib Holder for Various Pen Nib, Model 25 (T-25)

I’m never going back to the metal fit nib holders! The rubber is so much nicer to get a nib into AND out of. So pleased!!This nib holder has done great with almost every type of nib I’ve got. Speedball C’s and B’s, Hunt Imperial, Hunt 107, Brause Arrow, Blue Pumpkin, G nibs, etc etc. One nib holder to rule them all!My Hunt mapping nib is a tiny loose, but still useable; of course my Tachikawa brand one fits snugly.The only brand that does not fit at all are my Leonardt Round calligraphy nibs. (The Leonardt EF Principal does work.) Mitchell nibs fit great though. However, since this is mainly a drawing, not a calligraphy, nib holder, I’m not too fussed about this.It is a shorter holder, which I greatly prefer. The wood feels nice. The grip section is a bit thicker than most holders you find at the craft store, which is easier on the hand. I used it for hours to test it, and had no hand strain or fatigue.It IS shorter than either the Tachikawa T-40 or T-36. This nib holder is just shy of 5” long. If you’ve got big hands or prefer a little more length, try one of the others, which have the same style of rubber nib holder.Overall, I think it’s a great first nib holder, and a great option for paring down an excessive nib holder collection. And you can’t beat the price. 10/10 would recommend!

I bought this to hold a Kakimori Brass Nib. It fits perfectly-not loose at all, not too tight. Also, the branding on the wood matches the brass metal of the nib, making it look very nice. Like other reviewers, I found it shorter than expected, but it is very comfortable.

Ever in search of the perfect pen nib holder, I ordered the Tachikawa Comic T25. My first impression was that this pen holder was shorter than expected. I had not checked the length in the description and had thought it had a larger girth than most, when it fact, it was just shorter. The product listing clearly states it is 5 inches long. For comparison, I've included a photograph with a few other pen holders. The plain black one is the plastic speedball straight holder.This holder is a lightweight and light colored wood with a smooth varnish finish of very good quality. The best part of this holder is the tip where the nibs are inserted. A second photograph shows the configuration with two rings that will fit either the larger (normal) sized nibs or the smaller ones. The small nib in the front is a Brause 66EF that fit better in this holder than any other I've tried. The Nikko G and Zebra Comic G as well as some Speedball and Mitchel nibs were a perfect fit. The rubber rings hold the nib well.My vintage Brause & Co. Bandzugfeder No.180 pen nibs nibs fit too loosely and could not be used in this holder. That's why having a selection to choose from is advantageous. This was a good addition to the collection.

Excellent nib holder.I was a bit skeptical of the synthetic collet at first but it held the nib securely and insertion & removal of nib is effortless. Would buy again.

muy buena la madera del mango se adapta a diferentes tipos de plumillas

It feels really good in-hand to draw with. I got the non gripped version, thinking that the rubber would just end up getting stained. I also like that it's not super long, it can fit in the case with the rest of my pencils and pens.

Bought it as a less expensive holder for the Katimori nib. It works. Glad I purchased it.
