A tool many hope they do not need but are thankful when it is needed. Occasionally nibs see the hard side of life and become bent or mangled either due to a drop, misuse or even catching a cap liner.
The nib block works as effectively backstop for working in tandem with a burnisher to work nibs back to their original shape. The block design contains both concave and convex sections to facilitate working on either side of a nib.
