A lovely penholder, especially for those (like me) who have a heavy hand and a tense grip. The cap is a great addition, enabling me to carry it away from the studio but also to just protect it when not in use. The support for two different-sized nibs is great, though I ended up ordering two holders and I switch back and forth between pen sizes-- true to other reviews, it can be difficult sometimes to pull the nibs out. Which isn't a bad thing, I would rather have to tug on my nibs to get them out than have them fall out mid-drawing.

this is a great holder. the cap makes it very easy to take it somewhere withought damaging your nib or whatever you carry it in. (which is good for me because i just randomly carry things around in my jacket pocket) It holds things securely, a little too well to the point where it sometimes hurts when i have to pull out my g pen nib. great holder and the inner ring is a good feature if you dont have the 25.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! I have used pen holders for over 20 years and this is like going from a donkey cart to a rocket!! The comfort, the ease and security of the nib collar and a CAP!!!! Please, Jetpens, you must carry thousands of these!!! For all you comickers our there this is the best nib holder EVER!!!! The rubber collar holding your nib actually gives you a bit more give, easing your hand and giving your lines more expressiveness - without the nib falling out on you! Did I mention the CAP?!!

AWESOME!!!!

this one had a cap on it so its better than other pen holders!

Best holder out there! It's a pleasure to use and has a great balance and weight in the hand. I won't use any other holder for my Tank Masters.

I honestly love this pen holder the most. I tend to have a tight grasp when drawing but this pen is very comfy to hold and I don't abuse the use of my ink. The grip on the pen holder is also very nice. The pen holds nibs quite well, as in they won't slip out and I love how it comes with a cap! It's a plus for easy storage. It's also nice only needed one pen for the job since it holds different nibs!

Very nice pen holder since it can hold several types of nibs. I've used it once so far and it feels very natural in my hand. I absolutely love this. Not to mention it is really pretty, at least in my opinion.

Though it can hold multiple types of nibs, I prefer using it for precision G and Tama pens and in contrast prefer to use the Tachikawa-25 for the small Maru/Round pen nibs.

It has a balanced feel to in in terms of weight and it's size perfectly fits my hands. The grip is helpful, but I end up holding it lower anyway. The cap is really helpful for storage and transport specially if you like using these pens for work, classes or just want to draw on the go.

Tachikawa's line on holders are amazing for their idea of being able to hold variable pen sizes all around. Most likely the choice is all in preference, since their holders are high quality.

Very, very good holder! It works great on tachikawa nikko and zebra nibs!

I really like this pen holder. It is comfortable, my nibs fit in it securely, and the cap keeps the nib protected and is snug. I recommend it.

Looks as great as it functions. I bought most of the Zebra pen nibs with this holder (G, Tama, and School. All chrome versions) and none of them fall out while using. The cap secures nicely on both ends.

It's got a cap, which the others don't have. Buy the black ink, this, and a ZEBRA brand nib and you get free shipping, too.

Just bought 5 of these (I know ) I had a few of the grey grip ones but
I like the blue better =) Works really well with worn out dip pen nibs but they all
react different make sure to burn the oil off the nib for better flow.

Great pen holder. The grip is comfortable, its well balanced, and the cap - which secures tightly and hasn't ever come off despite being jumbled around in my bookbag - makes it easy to transport your nibs without fear of damaging them. However, this pen holder only really fits Tachikawa (and Nikko) nibs. Brause and Speedball nibs can work in it, but its difficult to clean them without pulling out them out. The Zebra G nib easily slips out while you're drawing...

I really like this holder. Its shape and grip make it very comfortable. The only thing is it may not work with some other brands/types of nibs.

please restock this!! thank youu!

Eh... I got one for me and one for my roommate, I have a complete set of rapidograph pens. I did not find this useful, BUT I do think it is rather neat regardless of it's uselesness to me, I would recommend it to anyone who likes to stop drawing every so often to refill their nib. In short, It's an ok nib holder, not epic, just ok.

Though it can hold multiple types of nibs, I prefer using it for precision round/maru pens and in contrast prefer to use the Tachikawa-40 for the larger widths of the G and Tama. It's very light and small in my preference but it get the work done well without having my palm cramp like when I use regular pens/pencils. Emphasizing on the weight, I wouldn't suggest it to people who prefer their writing utensils to have a little mass to it; this one is extremely light.

Tachikawa's line on holders are amazing for their idea of being able to hold variable pen sizes all around. Most likely the choice is all in preference, since their holders are high quality.

My third pen holder from Tachikawa. The first two being the T40 and T26.

I have to say this one is my favorite so far. The T40 was my favorite because its comfy and had a cap. But it was my first and haven't experience other pen holder yet.

Then followed the T26. It was MUCH smaller that the T40 and had nothing but a small simple wooden body. I use it for maru pens instead of the maru pen holder which is too thin for me to grasp.

This one though, it's got the best of both worlds. In size, it's closer to the T26 than the T40. That's a good thing because the T40 barely made it in my 122kcal Roll Pencil case in terms of lenght and T26 was a shorty and hid a lot. I find the grip more comfortable that the T40, as well, since its got a certain curve to it. It doesnt have the cap T40 is famous for, but it's a well balanced pen holder and is WELL RECOMMENDED to those looking a good pen to start with.

Lastly, as always with my reviews on other Tachikawa holders, I commend their pen holder mechanism. Since it can hold the G and maru sized pens its extremely convenient. I'm still hoping they come out with a double sided pen holder to make it easier for us hardcore artists out there! *hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge*

Fantastic holder,very elegant and warm and extremely functional.Feels very good in hands,it just flows with the hand movement.l'm truly impressed.

This version the Model 25 works great for delicate lines thinner lines with more control the the T-40 because it's thinner but it all depends what type of nib you use also.
I use the T-40 for thicker Key lines and the Model 25 for crosshatching.

Much better than the cheap Speedball pen nib holder I used to have. It is a pleasure to draw with this, coupled with a G nib. I find the shape and size quite ergonomic, maybe that is why I enjoy holding it. The nibs fit in much better too. But my once gripe is that since the rubber thing is white, it gets dirty so fast, especially when working with black ink. I suppose, more maintenance and cleaning required.

Flipping buy this. Even if you don't use dip pins but need to spend a little more to hit that free shipping, just buy this, I love it, I love holding it, I haven't even used it, but just by the feel of it I know it's epic, It has a nice weight to it unlike EVERY other one I've ever put in my hands. it's neat, and can't be beat by those cheeply made ones you find in art stores.

This pen holder is great! Please restock - I'm running low on ink, and I want to buy a few more sets of nibs, but I'm waiting on these. I need one or two more so I don't have to keep on switching inky nibs out of the one holder I have currently, hahah.

please restock, this holder is great for maru nibs and is light so that the hand doesn't cramp when you're working on those small details.
