H161. Tom's Studio Flourish Curve Oblique Penholder.
You can now park the pliers and say sayonara to screws. Instead all you need to do is place your favourite nib in the holder, twist and you'll be back to flourishing in a flash! Tom's Studio's uniquely designed Flourish Curve Oblique fits nibs from Nikko G to crowquill to the Brause EF66. It even holds 2mm pencil lead, so you can draft your creations before committing to ink. Click here for a video that demonstrates how to use these incredible holders.
Approximate measurements: 6.3 OR 16 cm long | 1cm OR 0.39 at widest point. Weighs 19g. Comes in a beautifully crafted gift box. Made from easily separable, infinitely recyclable materials (brass and aluminum) so you can rest assured your calligraphy is sustainable. Each pen is handmade, thus entirely unique. Includes the tool for adjusting the flange.
From Tom Gyr: No two calligraphers are the same. I designed the pen so that you can easily customize the angle of the nib to suit your calligraphy style (and stop that annoying snag on paper on an upstroke). I've also refined the balance of the pen so that the centre of gravity sits between your forefinger and your thumb joint, making it feel neither top nor bottom heavy.

Flourish curve oblique
Be careful when opening. Mine was literally disassembled and I almost lost the tiny screw that holds it altogether. Beautifully crafted and well balanced. I intend on putting something on it for grip because it wants to slide in my hand due to the nature of the finish. I imagine the finish is for protection and easy cleaning as it reminds me of a nonstick skillet but superior. The metal is cold in winter so warming it up beforehand especially if you have sensitive joints is a must. I’m looking forward to creating beautiful copperplate with this dip pen.

Great design
This oblique pen takes the mystery out of adjusting to the perfect set up for you. No pliers needed and it just makes sense. Great design!
