I wanted to drop a quick note to say that the Titan Slim Line is a very impressive pen and wonderful to write with! I started with a medium nib, which I quickly realized wasn’t what I really wanted as this pen felt like a daily writer, so I replaced the nib with a standard Jowo fine that perfectly screwed right in. The fit and finish are extremely nice on the pen! It really feels like one solid piece since the clearances between both the screw down finial and the metal to acrylic sections of the body are so finely machined! I really love the micro grooves in the section that give it a very pleasant feel when writing. The exceptionally smooth filling mechanism and the amount of suction produced is class leading in my opinion. Some will feel the price is too high due to no gold nib, but I’ll say the pen puts gold nibbed pens with basic acrylic bodies and converters in second place to me. Finally, Pen Venture had the pen to my house in the US in less than a week, including of course, a lovely hand written note. I suggest buying this pen if you are on the fence and seriously considering it if you are looking for a unique and beautiful new pen.
A phenomenal pen, wonderful balance from the material choices with the weight leaning slightly to the front. Great ink flow though I have no doubt an ebonite feed would have improved it. Arrived with quite a scratchy extra fine but I sorted that with little effort and honestly there is simply no beating the unique filling system or the absolutely perfect engineering and tolerances evident in Roy’s creation. Puts all else to shame (except maybe Gravitas of course).
Emy and the team were fantastic in arranging the shipping to perfection and keeping me informed himself throughout!
