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

For such a simple piece of kit, the nib holder is really lovely, wonderfully lightweight without feeling flimsy, & beautiful to hold. I really liked the shorter length of the holder, it’s really comfortable to write & draw with, & the nibs I purchased separately, fit it perfectly, & feel really secure. I’m delighted with my purchase, it was worth every penny!

Great. Just as described.

This item arrived directly from Japan with a very low total cost - I was amazed! Good quality and works with plain calligraphy nibs which one dips in the ink.

Arrived super-quickly. This is the first Tachiwa holder I’ve had that is sanded and finished properly — the last two I bought (the type with the rubber grip) had — admittedly cosmetic — flaws. I think they’ve improved them. I was using the hunt type for a while but when I used the zebra Maru/mapping nibs I had to use the skinnier holder and didn’t like it as much. These Tachiwa holders take both mapping and standard style nibs so you get the same size and grip. Works perfectly.

Lovely nib holder - no metal parts to rust and holds the nibs nice and securely.

The packaging box was very large. Probably about 15x15x7cm, roughly. Not that it bothered me, in fact it was a nice surprise. Especially since opening it revealed how much the retailer wanted to keep the product unharmed. I could appreciate the effort of the seller to ensure the product's safe arrival. Now the product, it's my first nib pen for illustrations so I've nothing to compare it to. But I must be quite honest, I think this pen will stay with me forever. It's very light in weight, pleasant to the eye as well as touch. Its made of wood so naturally you have to adjust to the non rubber base some modern pens and pencils provide, especially if you tend to put a lot of pressure on the stationary. I can't say much more about this product. It's a very basic buy, but brilliant manufacturing, superb service, and sincere purpose towards ensuring a pleasant buy makes this product one of the better buys on Amazon.

Wonderful product.

Slightly different compared to the previous model of T-25 released a few years back, but works great nonetheless. I use it in conjunction with a Zebra G nib for illustrating manga and it works wonders even for long sessions.
