This is a solid aluminum nib holder turned down from full 1” stock to a comfortable ¾” grip and finished with a deep knurl that feels like a tattoo machine, not an art-store pen.
Inside is a high-quality stainless steel nib insert that holds your nib tight without wobble, so your lines stay clean and predictable.
The back end is milled with an integrated A-bar alignment tool, giving this piece real shop utility beyond drawing:
Use it as a precision nib holder for flash, layouts, and detail work
Use the rear slot to square and true your A-bars
Or drop a machine on it while you’re painting or building to keep things aligned and off the table
It’s lighter than the brass version, but still balanced and solid — built to stay on your bench, not disappear into a drawer.
