Gravitas Exclusive Ed from Kyuseido - Kakari FS Skittle PvD

The Kyuseido Kakari FS is the result of a collaboration between Kyuseido and Ben Walsh Design, showcasing the cutting-edge Pump Piston Filler integrated filling system. This pen stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship. The body is crafted from optical-grade cast acrylic, prized for its crystal-clear finish and stunning polish. Inside, a 303 stainless steel piston unit and rod drive the innovative Pump Piston Filler.

The Kyuseido Kakari FS Skittle PvD for Gravitas marks the final phase of the collaboration between the two brands. Limited to only 50 pieces (numbered 01 to 50/50) and available exclusively at Gravitas - Pen Venture online stores in a low number and for a limited time.

The cap, section, and piston knob are made from durable Ti-6Al-4V titanium and feature a high Ra finish, precision-machined on a Swiss lathe. Delrin® acetal homopolymer lines both the cap and piston knob, providing a smooth and seamless capping and uncapping experience.

The piston rod includes a valve system that seals off the ink chamber from the nib, reducing the risk of leakage during travel. For optimal ink flow, simply unscrew the piston knob to allow free movement of the piston rod before writing.

In collaboration with Ben Walsh Design, Kyuseido also created two exclusive finishes for Gravitas Pens. These special editions, available in matte blue or machine-polished blue, feature 14k yellow gold nibs on ebonite feeds made from black Nikko ebonite, complete with the iconic Gravitas Pens logo. The premium AM tipping ensures exceptional writing performance.

Please note that the nib sizes for the Gravitas Pens Special Editions tend to write larger compared to Kyuseido's standard nibs, and their nibs and feeds are positioned deeper into the housing.

Although the Kyuseido Kakari FS can be disassembled, this is done at the user's own risk, and any damage from disassembly is not covered by the Kyuseido International Warranty.

Built to last, the Kyuseido Kakari FS is a durable writing instrument, but it is not indestructible. Damage from drops, excessive force, or external factors outside of normal use can be repaired for a fee, though it falls outside the warranty.

Gravitas Vac 2

The construction of the Vac 2 is flawless. The textures of the materials and it's simple lines display an elegant beauty. The large steel nib delivers a pleasant writing experience and also provides a bit of flex.

Amazing Pen! Gravitas makes one of the best piston fillers out there. I dont keep the nib and normally use the pen for coustom flex nibs with Jowo #6 compatible nib units. So, i really cant speak on the nib. However, this pen is just built with high quality components. The weight, feel, and overall aesthetics are unmatched. You wont find better at this price point.

Platinum Sansui - Smooth Operator

I recently acquired the Platinum Maki-e Sansui pen in a Medium nib. The Pen Venture team was kind enough to carefully inspect and tune this pen before sending it on to me. Many thanks for that. It writes very smoothly and with a steady flow of ink. The Medium nib is my favorite nib configuration from the Platinum brand. The line width is nice and thin and always writes consistently right of the box. This lovely Maki-e pen was no different. I highly recommend it.

Gravitas #6 extra fine nib

The extra fine nib came tuned to perfection—a joy to write with. Thank you Emy!

FANTASTIC!

The VAC 2.0 is a great improvement to an already great pen (the original VAC Ultem). The weight and balance are spot on. The cap and the new threads engage without hesitation. No missed closures and the cap has a nice stop when threading back on. It posts securely without issue. Filling with the Kraken system is easy. I got a medium nib and it is smoooooooth. Mine is on par with my 823 medium nib The smoothness, wetness and bounce would make you think it's a gold nib. Line width is slightly narrower than the 823 medium. The pen feels solid and well built. I'm not worried about this one getting knocked around. Overall a great pen. Shipping from Pen-Venture to Colorado was five days! Great pen and service all around!
