Amazing writer

This is my first Caran d'Ache and certainly not my last. I feel a collection coming on :) The nib is amazing...smooth...perfectly tuned. This pen is what all pen brands can take an example from. I'm very happy! Thank you Pen Venture!

As beautiful as you imagine it to be. Clearly not a pen to carry around in your pocket every day, but well-made and with proper care, I imagine it will last forever. Pen Venture sent a nice note and the delivery shipping was excellent. Would glady buy from this store again.

Unapologetically Brass

Brass was actually one of the earliest alternatives to Ebonite when fountain pens were the only game in town. As a matter of fact, many modern fountain pens (and Biro pens) still have a brass body, but they hide it under paint or lacquer. Brass is an ideal metal for pen makers, because it has a relatively low melting point, is easy to shape, and relatively corrosion resistant. But...copper has a strong smell when it comes into contact with fingers. Brass is 80%-90% copper, so you get that smell with brass, as well. The good news is that you may not care much for the smell of copper, but many microbes find the presence of copper to be absolutely fatal. And after a couple of weeks to a couple of months, depending on how frequently you use the pen, the smell will be almost completely gone. The microbe-killing part will still be there, without the smell. As far as writing with this microbe killing weapon of mass decontamination, it's nearly perfect. The Gravitas produced nib is very smooth, and it's as good as, or even better than, an equivalent sized JoWo (or Bock) steel nib. I have several Sentry pens, and the feeds on all of them are nice and juicy. If you find that your pen is too juicy, try using Pelikan 4001 Königsblau ink, which is rather dry. The metal body is free of blemishes and scuffs, but that won't stay like that for long, especially if your pen comes into contact with other metallic objects. So, if you want to keep your pens looking like new, make sure to store them in the provided carrying case when you're not actively writing with them. For me, I don't mind that scuffs and scratches, because they all add to the "lived-in" look of objects and that are not only treasured, and loved, but used daily!
Would definitely buy again.

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.

A modern yet classic piece of working art

This pen is everything hoped for, and everything I had heard it would be. With a little bit of luck it will be a go to pen for many years to come. Minimalistic yet beautiful and sleek in its design. I love this nib (medium) as it is smooth and writes like glass. Well worth the price point in my mind and it shipped quickly to boot. It has been in my EVD carry bag since I filled all 7ml up. Long journal sessions are a joy with it as it is not too large for my hand and just feels perfect weight wise. You might get the sense I sort of am gushing a bit. I am. I haven’t found much about this pen so far I don’t like. Hope this helps! Happy writing!!
