Gravitas Special Ed from Kyuseido - Kakari FS Machine Blue

Perfect in Every Way

This is my second Gravitas pen. The Monster was my first one first. Pen Venture's customer service is fantastic! Processing and Shipping were fast with no problems. The pen itself is great. Very well made. Fit and finish are exacting. The BROAD nib is super juicy and lays down a thick, commanding, wet line. Perfect for signatures and list making. The nib came perfectly tuned. Emy's high-quality videos really helped me to decide on the purchases.

Incredibly smooth.

I have a relatively small collection of fountain pens and had finally decided to get one with a gold nib. No matter how many different pens I looked at, I found myself coming back to this one time and time again. So I decided to go ahead and get myself a Kakari.

The one word that really ties everything together is smooth. From the finish to the threads and filling system to the absolutely wonderful nib, it's even better than I had hoped for. I opted for the Medium nib and it is a pleasure to write with.

This is also my first Gravitas pen, and it's every bit as amazing as I had expected from all of the reviews I had seen. Thank you to everyone at Gravitas and Pen Venture for such a wonderful writing instrument.

Finally an introduction

I started using fountain pens earlier this year to commemorate a promotion to a new station. Only upon receiving this pen hours ago and putting nib to page do I realize that I haven't experienced fountain pens until today. I've been researching and admiring this pen since August, and from its substantial weight, level of feedback, and build quality to its unique filling mechanism, it shattered my expectations.

I regret only that I did not decide to buy this pen earlier.

Kudos to Ben Walsh, Cy, and Emy for the utterly fantastic quality and tuning of this instrument. For anyone considering this pen, there is no reason to hesitate. It seems I'm now one of many who are happy to have trusted Emy and the Pen Venture team!

Wonderful nib on Kakari

I find the most wondrous things about the matte blue is the exceptionally smooth, and also wet nib that I asked Emy to tune. The F nib writes like an excellent medium nib - just the way I like. The matte blue finish is lovely, and the excellent construction and "feel" to the pen are terrific. But to me what makes this pen more exceptional than the Monster pens (which I also have), plus the Titan, is the lovely nib. I wish Emy and Ben would offer this nib on some of their other pens, even if a number 6 rather than an 8 on the Monster (and Titan pens).

Tuned to Perfection

To keep it short - any high end pen I plan to get in the future I’ll look here first because the nib tuning/ check before shipment is the best I’ve experienced.

Excellent

Very interesting pen, well balanced and with a clip that helps to carry in the jacket pocket. Excellent article

Pilot Urushi perfection

Magnificent in its simplicity. The nib is tuned to perfection. The perfect size for most hands. A smooth no feedback nib that is very forgiving and is left hand friendly. The Urushi is smooth radiating an out of this world brilliance, paint strokes are evident with a 10x loop. And of course the fit and finish and Pilots quality control is flawless perfection.

Leonardo Momento: Momentous

The Leonardo Momento is a magnificent writing instrument. The grey translucent body give's a hint of its interior and allows you to see thr ink level. The feel on the the body is similar to the lava on a Visconti Homo Sapiens. The gold colored steel nib explodes with the name Leonardo surrounded with flourishes. The stub nib writes with minimal feedback and allows for some very nice line variation. It is an Excellent choice for left handed writers. Overall the fit and finish is flawless.

Stunning Leonardo Momento Magico Primary Manipulation 1 by Jonathon Brooks

This is my first Leonardo pen and I am very impressed so far! I also have never tried a piston fill system and I am liking it. The pen is absolutely stunning and I do know that each pen by Jonathon Brooks is different however I was sent photos of the exact pen I was buying, of each side of it and for this I am very grateful to Pen Venture and their fabulous customer service. I was hesitant about ordering as I am in Canada but the shipping was very speedy and the "tariffs" were minimal!! I would not hesitate to order from Pen Venture again as this Leonardo is exquisite to write with as well as to look at!

OUTSTANDING

If you want heavy-duty protection for your pens without the maintenance or bulk of leather, this case delivers everything you need in a sleek, robust, incredible functional design. Highly recommended!
