Thank you Pen-venture! I’m delighted with this pen and with the service I received. The personal note included in the package was unexpected and lovely. Delivery was prompt.
I love this pen. It is hefty but comfortable to hold. The fine nib glides over my Clairfontaine notebook paper with just a hint of feedback to let me know I’m writing with a fountain pen. No hesitation and it started writing beautifully on the very first stroke. I’m certain that I will enjoy this pen for many years to come.

I've collected gravitas pens except for the Nib EF...
This pen I recently purchased has become the heaviest pen I've ever had. Honestly, it's too heavy ^^; I can feel the weight on my wrist even after using it for a while. It's a flex nip, but everyone knows that you need to exert a certain amount of strength to see the effect...
After taking this picture today, I noticed that there are too many fine hairs on the nib. Of course, there's nothing wrong with using it, but the overall feel is annoying. I like the overall feeling. To tell you the downside... I'm not satisfied with the overall ink flow. I know you've checked and sent me this pen, but it's very good when it comes to ink flow, from left to right and from top to bottom, whereas the flow is bad when it's from bottom to top and from right to left. It's okay when it comes to taking notes in English, but when it comes to Korean or Chinese characters, the weak flow often comes out blurry when it comes to stroke, which is a major drawback. Thank you very much for your quick delivery and meticulous packaging. ^^

Not my first Gravitas pen and definitively not my last. The pen is quite heavy with the cap on, but balances really well in my hand once in writing / drawing position. The skittles / rainbow finish really adds a lot of flair and makes my writing and drawing more optimistic. All in all, a great pen, and as usual, Emy ensures it writes perfectly straight out of the box.

The shape, the color, the weight, everything is perfect in this fountain pen! It comes with a little pen case and a cleaning cloth. The pen is sized to sit comfortably in the hand when uncapped. So far, it doesn't seem to roll too much on flat surfaces, but I prefer to put it on a mouse pad to reduce the chances of it rolling. I changed the converter supplied for a Faber-Castell 148785 as it seemed a little fragile at the piston screw.
Thanks to Emmy and the whole Pen Venture team for making it easier to find and buy this brand of pens. I’ve wanted a Gravitas Skittle for a long time and everything went very well for my first purchase.
