Description

Gravitas - Dinkey is a combination of its pocket-sized form scaled down to that of a quark. Refined and practical - the Dinkey consists in the sum of lessons learned throughout the years from previous models of Gravitas and brings out the very best in design, choice of materials and craftsmanship.

The fountain pen is small, portable, and handy, placing emphasis on the material from which it is made. It showcases a unique range of materials that, up until now, have not been offered in the Gravitas lineup. The Skittle finish uses as a base material Stainless Steel and it gets a PvD coating with the entire range of colors. For a pen of its size the Dinkey Skittle has a balanced weight, sitting in the middle of the Dinkey range concerning its weight.

The Dinkey inner cap comes lined with Delrin insert in order to prevent scratches from posting, the section is made from Stainless Steel, sporting an o-ring at the threading point with the barrel, it takes small Standard International ink cartridges.

The writing point of the Dinkey is a Gravitas #6 steel nib, available in extra fine, fine, medium, and broad and elastic fine options, powered by a generic plastic feeder. Accompanied by a custom-designed textile stretch carry on accessory, this fountain pen is a perfect blend of style and functionality in a slim and small size.

Elevate your writing journey with the refined craftsmanship of the Dinkey fountain pen.

Gravitas Dinkey Skittle

The steel of this particular Dinkey gives it a more distinct weight compared to similar titanium models. While it contrasts in that regard, it mirrors their quality, fit and finish. Capping, uncapping and posting all feel smooth and reliable. And the Skittle's finish it everything I had hoped for. It's vibrant, colorful and shiny, without being a finger-print magnet.

This makes my fifth Dinkey so far now. It along with the rest all arrived securely and in a timely manner thanks to everyone on the Pen Venture team.

A stunning pocket pen

This is my fourth Gravitas Dinkey, and it's a standout among them. Like my others, it's got great build quality, smooth threads, and a reliable nib. The Timascus of the body and cap is simply stunning to look at. Its array of colors is mesmerizing and the feel of the pen is smooth and glossy. While I enjoy all four of my Dinkeys, this one has become an instant favorite for me.

A very satisfying small heavy pen

The PVD coating of this pen makes it stand out, especially next to my carbon Dinkey and my zirconium Quark. I have a Kaweco Brass Sport that I don't enjoy because it is much too heavy for my taste, but this much smaller steel pen feels great in my medium-sized hand. I thoroughly enjoy it as it is the only size of steel/brass pens that I might care to use, but it's not great at the "pocket" part of being a pocket pen. I wouldn't use it for that function unless for some reason I greatly need it to be able to resist being rolled over by heavy vehicules.
As always, you can count on Pen Venture for great service.

First date with my Dinkey

My Dinkey came halfway around the world within the week.
Thank you Pen Venture team for the fantastic service.
The pen quality and finish is stunning and with the raw finish to the grip section there is no fear of the pen sliding about whilst writing.
I changed the nib out for a 1.1 mm stub which writes silky smooth.
I still like to carry my pens in my shirt pocket so for me this pen and the Quarks would be the worlds best pens if they had a clip.

GORGEOUS PEN

I love Gravitas pens. The level of precision is second to none. The pen is absolutely beautiful. The pen comes with a steel nib but I switched it up for the BB 14k nib that came in my Kakari. I cannot wait until my pen has developed the beautiful patina I expect it will. As for the way it fits my hand. I have a large hands and it fits well when posted.

Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Aluminium | Black
Andreas Andersson
Substantial, reliable, and smooth

The Gravitas Vac 2.0 is an amazing tool for handwriting. The nib is smooth, distinct, and reliable, and it has some weight due to its durable materials, black aluminium/aluminum and ultem, the perfect combination of a tool which will survive most of us, still functioning if the internal vacuum piston system is cared for. I have enjoyed this fountain pen for seven days and I am pleased to say it is one of my better ones, and it is fun to use. I recommend it.

(Emy was correct: The nib has great flow, about six drops of ink will automatically flow from the nib after I have just filled it, after that no problems; tissue paper or the ink bottle under the nib until that happens is recommended, other than that: an excellent fountain pen.)

Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Aluminium | Black

FANTASTIC !!!!!

What a fantastic pen—and customized too!

It writes beautifully and arrived surprisingly quickly, even though I’m in Canada. This is my third order from Pen Venture, and once again, the experience has been outstanding. It's always a pleasure to come back.

My Gravitas arrived perfectly tuned and was ready to write straight out of the box. I filled it with Pelikan Royal Blue, and from the very first stroke, it was smooth, consistent, and an absolute joy to use.

I own several excellent fountain pens, including a Pilot Custom 823, a Sailor 1911, and a Leonardo Momento Zero, and I can honestly say that this Gravitas holds its own among them. It is remarkably well made and comes very close to being the perfect writing instrument.

A big thank you to the entire Pen Venture team for the exceptional service, careful tuning, and attention to detail. I’m already looking forward to my next order!

Gravitas - Vac 2.0 Aluminium | Black

A Worthy Sequel to an Awesome Pen

On its own, this pen feels very durable and premium, and the bead-blasted, matte black coated treatment gives it a very “professional” vibe. The Fine nib is bouncy and smooth, very usable on the underside as well (with added feedback, but not scratchy), the ribbed steel grip is very comfortable, the feed holds a lot of ink on its own, and the reservoirs behind it will keep it in writing condition for dozens upon dozens of pages after a fill.

The cap screws open and closed smoothly, with a very satisfying click at the end when closed; it posts deeply, and it also posts securely after being pressed down slightly on the barrel. It is light enough that it does not back-weight the pen significantly when posted.

The barrel construction, along with the newly-implemented Kraken filling system, ensure a significant amount of ink is pulled in from the first try. Much like the main cap, the blind-cap screws open and closed smoothly for refills or ink transfers between reservoirs.

Compared to its predecessor:
Fewer transparent areas overall, but the Vac 2.0’s structure feels more solid than the Ultemate Vac.
The body thickness and thread profiles are different on the Vac 2.0 than on the Ultemate Vac, no mix-and-match potential here.
The matte black coating gives the pen a more refined, premium feel on the metallic parts.
The inner lining of the cap doesn’t get stuck in the barrel thread as often, and when it does, it either slips back into correct position, or it is easier to unscrew and reposition, without the metal thread eating into the cap material.
The coated, no-breather-hole design of the new Gravitas steel nib may not be to everyone’s taste, but I like it a lot, and functionally, this nib feels more bouncy and polished, with smoother writing than its predecessor.
The feed seems to pick up a lot more ink on its own from just a 5-second dip, and the small reservoir behind it looks to have more capacity to back it up before needing to unscrew the blind cap and refill it from the large reservoir.
The Kraken filling system seems to suck up significantly more ink per pump than the mechanism from the Ultemate Vac.

Overall, a very well made fountain pen, and a thorough refinement to an already excellent design. Very satisfied with this purchase!

Great Little Monster

Wow!
Just like the Monster but thinner. For me it is more comfortable for longer writing sessions. The filling system is stellar. Holds lots of ink. As always Ben Walsh and Emy have delivered a innovative and enjoyable writing experience. Can't wait to see what's next. Keep up the wonderful work!
