The 'One Dip Wonder'

My second purchase of the one dip wonder. It’s fabulous when doing calligraphy with one colour for ink

Got this along with the new carrot pen as well as after lots of people talking about it in my calligraphy group. It's a great simple little tool to help your dip pen last longer between each dip. A very simple tiny magnet and spring which when placed behind the vent hole and completely dipped gives you a bigger amount of ink to write with. I tried using it on a Brause nib first (has a rose on it) but it didn't work for that one (think might be too flexible). However I popped my Nikko g in and away I went. I wrote the alphabet 1 .5 times compared to just half without) - that's just from a quick play round on rubbish calligraphy practice pad. I also liked the simple packaging it came in. Thank you Tom's studio for a great little tool! *****

This little one-dip wonder is indeed a wonder! What a clever idea! I will be using one all the time now.

The second I saw the video of Gemma using this nifty little tool, I knew I needed to try it. I used it literally the second it arrived (beautifully packaged) through my door and all I can say is WHERE HAS THIS BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE. Or at least the 3 years I’ve been doing calligraphy.. it slots into any nib super easily and oh my goodness does it deliver. I normally have to dip my nib every few words but this thing lets me write sentence after sentence. I expected it to maybe let me write two to three long words but it’s more like 22 words. Yes I counted. I could not be happier or more in awe, and I can’t wait to come back and buy more tools from Tom’s miraculous studio. Thank you so much.

It does a great job of holding so much ink. I can write so much more with just one dip. Great idea.

The One Dip Wonder is a marvellous invention that any and every calligrapher should posses in their arsenal of materials. Easy to use, classy and so useful that I cannot imagine my life without it now that I have tried it!

Oh, the joy, joy, joy!

Brilliant, tiny, but oh so helpful. Can write for so much longer between dips. Would heartily recommend.

This little miracle makes dip-pen writing much more enjoyable because the ink on the nib lasts for so much longer.

Definitely adds to the experience increasing the time spent being creative

I was unsure of rating the ODW 4 or 5 stars because while i do/did like it and it performs well until the tiny magnet kept falling out of the spring and trying to fix it ended poorly. I liked it enough to order another which is being shipped. In the meantime I did make my own reservoir from the overfeed of another nib but also ordered a few different reservoir options.

Who would believe it. A little spring and a magnet and then you can write forever with a dip pen. It really works. I hope Tom has patented this. I am using it with some nibs from Scribblers at the moment and I can go for over 100 words before I have to re-dip. If you want to keep writing for longer, this is a must have. The only warning I have is watch out for the magnet. It is very small so easily lost.

Worked perfectly in my deleter nib!

What a remarkable invention… such an ingenious idea yet so simplistic, but wow just amazing for an effortless flow … well done, such a worthwhile purchase 🤩

I was skeptical at first, but when compared to a nib that doesn’t have this, it’s the difference is night and day. You almost start to miss dipping it.

Works exactly as i had hoped.

I got a few of those as an addition to the different dip pen nibs I'm using, and they increase the ink capacity you get with one dip by a lot. Works perfectly on my Zebra G Nibs, but really should work on anything magnetic.

This is such a clever little tool and it makes a huge difference while writing. I really wanted to give this 5 stars, but my experience with it was marred by significant issues. The material of the spring has very low attraction to the magnet (if any) and the ends of the spring aren’t tucked/coiled inward so the magnet slips out extremely easily, especially when you have it near something that is strongly attracted to the magnet. I ordered 3 of these, but I lost one spring when I was first attempting to put it on a nib (my angle of approach was probably not ideal) the magnet flew out to attach to the nib leaving the spring behind which I then fumbled and lost in the depth of my carpet. I lost another spring when I accidentally dropped it while taking it out of the package, fortunately I found the magnet by using a bit of metal. Since I still have both magnets, I was able to take a spring out of an old pen, cut it down and fit it around the magnet to achieve the same function the product was supposed to have. I’ll admit that I’m rather clumsy, but this is still a very frustrating experience to have. It could have been avoided if the material spring itself was more attracted to the magnet or if the ends of the springs were tucked/coiled more inwards to trap the magnet within.

Its one of the clever little items that once you have it you dont want to be without it. Its made such a difference to my writing. The flow is so much better. Thank you Tom.

Really neat little gadget. A small item with a big impact

Totally love the idea ,well done , its time for next ideas tom!!!sending love

I'm getting the hang of it. Sometimes I use the spring sometimes not.

Good for long passages of script. Im just terrified that I'll drop it and it will never be seen or heard from again!

Such a simple but effective invention. How a little soring wiith a tiny magnet inside works so well is amazing

It worked so well that, as a Calligraphy Club, we ordered 14 more

fantastic little gadget that greatly enhaces writing ability

Awesome love this

I’m a real beginner but this just makes it so much easier. I can get a bit of continuity going as I’m not constantly having to dip the nib. Worth every penny.
