Description

Meet the Sentry fountain pen, the larger sibling to the entry-level model from gravitas. While slightly weightier than its counterpart, the Sentry maintains a comfortable and user-friendly design, thanks to its weighted section. With triple-start cap threads, the cap effortlessly disengages in just 2.25 turns.

The 25mm-long section, ranging from 13.25mm to 11.5mm in width, is expertly crafted from Aluminium Bronze alloy. The Aluminium-Bronze alloy used for the Sentry is a special alloy highly ductile, highly termo conductive used primarily energy equipment, aeronautica and nautical industries for valves, high strength bushings, gears, cams, propeller blades and shafts. The exposed alloy is sleek and the section adorned with micro-machined grooves, section ensures a secure grip during every writing session. Equipped with a Gravitas-production size 6 steel nib compatible with Jowo No. 6 threads and abs plastic feeder, the Sentry offers versatile writing options, including Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and Fine Flex.

Enhancing your experience, the Sentry comes with a standard international converter provided with each fountain pen.

Great Alu-Bronze Pen

Let me begin by saying that this pen is nearly perfect. The Gravitas produced #6 steel nib is very smooth, and the plastic feed provides for excellent ink flow. The pen is massive; the body (of the very similar brass version) weighs 58.4 g, the whole pen weighs 88.5 g. HOWEVER...don't let that weight scare you, when writing with this pen, most of the weight will rest on the web of your hand (between index finger and thumb), and the inertia combined with the smoothness of the nib makes this a very pleasant writing experience. The grip section is relatively girthy, 11.5mm at its most narrow point. I find small diameter grip sections to be much more fatigue inducing than sheer weight of the pens.
Correction on the cap threads: they are double-start, not triple starts, are Acme threads, and the cap is released in 3/4 of a turn.
There are no O-rings to act as seals, or friction brakes for parts that randomly want to disassociate themselves from the rest of the pen. Also, there is no Delrin liner inside the cap, meaning that you might want to avoid posting the cap on the back of the pen to avoid scratching the pen body.
Last item: appearance. The pen is flawless when it arrives, but it will start to accumulate scratches and scuffs as time goes on. Also, it will take longer for a patina to form on this pen than regular brass or copper pens. That's to be expected. Unless you get run over by a herd of Velociraptors, or you drop the (uncapped) pen on its nib, this pen is unlikely to be so damaged as to be non-repairable. You can replace the nib unit, you could even replace it with a JoWo produced nib unit, although the Gravitas nib units are as good as any JoWo #6 Steel nib. NOTE: make sure that you check clearance between your non-Gravitas nib and the inside of the cap. Not all JoWo produced nibs are identical; and you assume the risk for nib damage due to lack of internal clearance.
Would definitely buy again.
