Hi I see the nib block. What is the utility of that tool.

Thanks

"combing" a bent nib back into shape. You need a block and special burnishers. It's not a easily masterable task as gold is SOFT and if you apply excess of pressure you will end up with bulges and ugly deformations in the nib, resulting in poor performance or complete destruction in worse case scenario.
