Great feel

This feels amazing. Very comfy and an improvement on the sad plastic holder I was using. As a warning though, the rose nib is too big for the small holding ring and not big enough for the large ring (it falls off). Any other nib I tried stays on with no problems. Also comes with a cap which I like cause I have stabbed my finger reaching for my other pen XD.

Tachikawa Nib Holder T-40

Other than the obvious fact that this nib holder is compatible with two nib sizes, one other aspect really stood out. The cap at the back can be used as a counterbalance. This I found to be very useful for inking smaller, more detailed areas. I wouldn't necessarily call this a con but it kinda bothered me. When I ink, I tend to rotate my nib holder slightly when I need to. The grip prevents this rotatory motion slightly but it's not too big of a deal. I previously used Speedball's holders. Even without the cap, this holder is still a bit heavier than Speedball's (smaller and bigger ones). Overall, I love it and it's a nice buy.

A big improvement on standard pen-holders

This pen-holder is more comfortable in the hand than standard holders with cork grips. Its rubber socket holds nibs much more securely than the metal-flapped socket on standard pen-holders. Unlike standard holders, it holds large & small nibs.

The cap is a clever addition. The compact size makes it small enough to carry, nibbed, in an empty TWSBI box.
