Sailor - 1911 King of Pens Tamenuri Raden Nami | Limited Edition |

The Flagship has a relatively unique shape in the fountain pen world. Not only is there no clip (like all other Gravitas fountain pens), but both ends of the pen look very similar. Yes, one end is slightly shorter than the other, and also has a laser etched Gravitas logo on it, but that's hard to see from ten feet away...it just looks like a brass colored mini-torpedo.
But, strangely enough, I somehow always get the pen in my hands the "right way", with the "pen" in my right hand, and the "cap" in my left hand. The cap does NOT post, by the way.
Once you get past the unusual shape of the pen, it writes in a way that's virtually indistinguishable from any of the "heavy metal" Sentry pens, i.e., steel, brass, copper. I love hefty pens, and this one fits that bill perfectly. The nib unit is the same as similar sized cartridge/converter pens, and can be unscrewed from the grip section for more detailed cleaning. Size and threading is based on JoWo #6 nib units, but I've had no reason to try to substitute a genuine JoWo unit, because the Gravitas made nib and feed assembly do their job just as well as a JoWo unit, which is to say nearly perfectly.
The Alu-Bronze seems to be a little more corrosion resistant than regular bronze or brass, i.e., it takes a little longer to develop a patina. Good for you, if you want to keep your pen looking brand new for longer. If you want to give your pen that lived-in look, you'll just have to write longer with it, and put all of your hard work, sweat, and creative energy into your writing, and it'll get that lived-in look more quickly. And a polishing cloth, or some Brasso (R) brass polish on a soft cloth will get it to look brand new again, so you can start all over ;-).
Love this pen. Won't buy another one, because it's unlikely to break in my lifetime, replacement nibs are available, so are standard international cartridges and converters, and I've got a lifetime supply of bottled ink on my shelves.

No bleeding through, very minimal ghosting , flexible spine and fountain pen friendly.

Finding the discontinued pen I had been looking for for so long was a wonderful surprise. Having it arrive at my doorstep just a few days after ordering it, accompanied by a lovely thank-you note, was an even greater one. Thank you!

9 months in, my Gravitas Ultimate Vac (B) is now a staple in my four-pen rotation, puts down a nice, juicy line and feels extremely comfortable for varied writing sessions and general brainstorming. I'm very pleased, Emy, and soon coming for Vac 2.0 😊😊😊

Great service!

Great writing pen. Beautiful red color. Great balance. Feels perfect even in my small hands. I like Ultem better than acrylic - I'm guessing it's harder to stain but I've never stained either with dye inks. I'm guessing it's harder to crack if it rolls off the table. One of the best looking and best functioning pens I've ever used. Highly recommended.

I’m so pleased with this Quark. The pocket format and stonewashed zirconium make it a distinctive addition to my collection, and I love its character. I’m very happy I chose this version. My experience with Pen Venture has been excellent, and I’d happily buy from them again.

I’m extremely happy with this Sentry. The simple design and raw titanium give it an understated look that I really appreciate. I already enjoy Gravitas pens, and I’m very pleased to have added this one to my collection. Another purchase from Pen Venture that I’m glad I made.

I absolutely love this pen. The combination of machined titanium and Ultem gives the Monster so much character, and I’m very happy to have it in my collection. It was a purchase I was excited about, and I’m delighted with it. I’ve had lovely experiences buying from Pen Venture, and I’m happy to recommend both the pen and the shop.

This pen has already been widely reviewed on the internet and agree with all the accolades that it has received. This pen advances fountain pen technology in the materials it uses and the never-before-seen improvements in vacuum filling. These technological innovations are combined with truly excellent machining and a custom nib that is a dream to write with.

The pen is absolutely a KING 👑 what a master beast! THANK YOU Pen Venture. I have a best and first time order from you guys and it's not going to be the last for sure.

Excellent experience from start to finish.

The entire process was smooth, professional and reliable. Communication was very pleasant, the shipping was fast and well organized, and the pen arrived in perfect condition exactly as described.

Everything was complete and carefully packed, and the overall service was outstanding.

A very trustworthy and professional dealer. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase and would definitely buy here again.

Highly recommended!
