Saw this character in 西遊記. Also a few hits in my corpus (only 8 lines in all)

>正襟危坐,沈凤书拿起笔来,仔细的掭好笔,深吸一口气,认真的落笔。
Sitting upright, Shen Fengshu picked up the brush, carefully prepared it, took a deep breath, then seriously began to write

>“好东西!”沈凤书赞了一声,提笔在砚台上掭了掭笔,这才起笔,在刚刚安师兄写的字后面,用魏碑的字体,一挥而就。
"Nice!" Shen Fengshu exclaimed, then lifted his brush and wiped it on the ink-slab...

>在使用功能上,笔觇似乎不用单列一项,因为在砚台上也可以掭笔匀墨,感觉用不着专门用具,可见古代文人器不厌精、类不厌细的文房用品追求。
...because the ink-slab can also be used to wipe the brush and spread ink...

From my physical dictionaries:
掭:(横拖着)毛笔蘸墨或除去多余的墨汁,并理顺毛笔:~笔|把笔~好
掭:用毛笔蘸墨汁在砚台上弄均匀:~笔
掭:用毛笔蘸墨汁在砚台上理顺笔毛或除去多余的墨汁

掭笔的意思就是毛笔蘸墨后,在砚台边沿或其他地方把笔上多余的墨汁刮出去,所以这个步骤也可以叫“刮笔”或者“刮墨”。注意!!!!!不是用刀刮啊!⚔
掭笔是很有讲究的!如果掭笔做的不到位,笔锋容易开叉,写字还容易洇墨咧!
