The Nib Safety Net

"Gravity Happens. We’ve Got You Covered."

We know the heartbreak of a fountain pen hitting the floor. As a member of our Creative Rewards, you don't have to worry about the 'tines.' If the worst happens, just send us a photo and we'll send you a 50% discount for a fresh start.

"The Nib Safety Net" – Terms & Conditions

  • Eligibility: This benefit is exclusive to active members of the Creative Rewards program at the time of the accident.
  • Coverage: The 50% discount applies strictly to accidental damage (e.g., dropping the pen) that renders the nib unusable. It does not cover intentional damage, loss of the pen, theft, or normal wear and tear.
  • The Claim: To activate your discount, you must provide a clear photo of the damaged nib and your original order number to oops@yourstore.com.
  • Limitations: This discount is valid for a one-time replacement per pen purchased and applies only to the cost of the replacement nib unit. It cannot be combined with other promotional codes or used for full pen replacements.
  • Availability: We will provide the discount for the exact nib model where stock is available. If the model is discontinued, we will offer a 50% discount on a comparable alternative nib unit.

An Adjustable Premium Alternative

Most oblique holders, including budget options, ship in a fixed right-handed configuration with a non-adjustable flange angle. Tom's Studio addresses both limitations directly: the universal nib holder makes changing and holding calligraphy nibs, big or small, straightforward, and the same mechanism lets the user adjust the angle of the nib and switch between left- and right-handed use by loosening a screw and twisting the flange. This is a genuine functional advantage, not just a finish upgrade — it means one holder adapts to different nibs, hand preferences, and personal grip angles, rather than locking the user into one fixed setup.

Honest Note:

This is a precision desk instrument rather than a like-for-like swap — the price reflects UK manufacturing and the adjustable mechanism, not just materials. For a first oblique holder to test whether pointed pen calligraphy suits you, start with the Speedball; move to this once you know you'll be using it regularly.

Who is it For?

  • Calligraphers who have committed to a sustained copperplate or Spencerian practice and want an instrument that reflects that
  • Left-handed calligraphers, who are not well served by most fixed right-handed oblique holders
  • Anyone who wants to fine-tune nib angle to match their personal grip rather than accept a single fixed setup

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)

Can this be used left-handed?

Yes — unscrew the top screw with a 1.5mm Allen key and gently twist the flange to reconfigure for left-handed use.

Does it fit all nib sizes?

Yes — the universal flange is designed to grip nibs big or small without needing a different holder per nib size.

Is this worth the upgrade from a Speedball oblique holder?

If you're committed to regular pointed pen practice, the adjustable angle and universal flange offer genuine functional benefits — particularly for left-handed calligraphers or anyone whose preferred grip doesn't match a fixed flange angle. For occasional or first-time use, the Speedball is a perfectly capable starting point.
