Description

H143. Calligraphica Oblique Holder with Adjustable Screw.

This wood and steel holder works with most all pointed nibs without further adjustments to the flange. Just rest your nib on the flat tray of the steel flange and tighten the screw with your fingers to secure the nib in place (the flange concept is similar to the Blackwell Oblique Holder). The thumb-screw has a spherical head. This holder has an unfinished, birch-wood staff, and instead of the hourglass shape, the grip has a scooped-out area for your index finger. The angle of the sturdy flange is already adjusted to lessen pen catches on upstrokes. A steel reservoir clip (H143-R) is available for this holder. With a pointed nib, use it as an oblique calligraphy pen for Copperplate, Engrosser's, and Spencerian Scripts, and for Modern Calligraphy.

    CALLIGRAPHICA OBLIQUE HOLDER WITH ADJUSTABLE SCREW

    Posted by Carole Shay on Mar 25th 2024

    I have found that I have to check the tension on the screw frequently. I enjoy using this handle.

    Fits so many nib types

    Posted by Josie on Feb 23rd 2024

    I'm starting to learn which nibs I like, and sometimes they can differ in base sizes. I only had a standard plastic holder, so there were a few that didn't fit. This holder is comfortable! It's thicker than my plastic holder. It's held almost every nib I've thrown at it so far (but I did have some trouble on the EF 66). No nib has been damaged by the screw yet. I've had it for over a month and it's become my favorite. I recommend this pen holder.

    Calligraphica Oblique Penholder review

    Posted by Luis Eduardo Pantaleon on Nov 11th 2023

    Light, thin and very well designed Oblique Penholder. Sturdy stainless steel multiple size nib holder. Smart ink reservoir accessory let write for longer times. Just protected the fine finish with Rust Oleum Varnish and a dab of clear epoxi cement at the very tip. Deluxe !

    Ignore the scoop

    Posted by Cynthia on Nov 22nd 2021

    I too wondered about the scoop out of the staff of the holder, but I just ignored it and used my usual grip and the holder worked fine. I like being able to use the same holder for a variety of nibs.

    One holder for all my nibs

    Posted by Betty P on Nov 22nd 2021

    On a website discussing ways to hold and oblique penholder, there was an index-finger-forward hold very different from the standard one I learned. Perhaps the scooped out section is for that hold. The scoop is out of the way and does not affect me when I use the penholder with the grip I (and everyone I know) use.
