This is a solid brass nib holder turned down from ½-inch stock and finished with a deep knurl that feels more like a tattoo machine grip than a pen.
Inside is a high-quality stainless steel nib insert that holds tight without wobble, so your line stays exactly where you put it. No sloppy fit. No plastic feel.
The back end is milled with an integrated A-bar alignment tool, which means this piece pulls double duty on your bench:
Use it as a precision nib holder for flash, layouts, and detail work
Use the rear slot to quickly square and true your A-bars
Or drop a machine on it while you’re painting or building, just to keep everything aligned and off the table
It’s heavy, balanced, and built to live on your workstation — not disappear into a drawer.
Details
Solid brass body, turned from ½” stock
Stainless steel nib insert
Knurled grip inspired by classic machine handles
Integrated A-bar alignment slot in the rear
Hand-finished in small batches
This is the kind of tool you end up reaching for every day without thinking about it — which is exactly how shop tools should work.
