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*

This is my first pen holder, and I loved it! The fatness of it with the rubber grip made it very comfortable to use, and the colour is nice, too. The fact that it holds G pen AND round pen nibs is very convenient and awesome ~

Love this size! Be aware that the red is not as bright as on the picture and the wood is darker. I found this one holds the nibs better than #40.

I have had one of these for more than 5 years. Very good handle and has held up very well. This is a second one just in case I need it.

Love the grippiness and the ergonomics of this.
