"Platinum was founded in 1919 in Tokyo, Japan, by Shunichi Nakata and has grown into one of the country’s most respected fountain pen manufacturers. Known for precision engineering and continuous innovation, Platinum produces many of its nibs in-house and is recognised for its high-quality 14k and 18k gold nibs. The brand is also known for practical innovations such as the Slip & Seal cap mechanism, designed to prevent ink from drying out inside the pen. Popular models such as the #3776 Century, President, Izumo and the classic starter Preppy series highlight Platinum’s range, from accessible everyday writers to refined gold-nib fountain pens. The company also produces a wide variety of inks, including the highly regarded Carbon Black pigment ink and the color-changing Classic iron gall series."
A wonderful pen - I like the pure white color. Nib can be easily exchanged for different JoWo nib. Can be eye-droppered and can see enough through the Delrin to see if there is sufficient ink. I can't really decide whether I like the Ultem or Delrin more, but the Delrin is more attractive and sinuous to touch. Great shipping and communication with Emy.
This is my first Caran d'Ache pen, and I'm very satisfied with it. I've got a couple of similarly nice ballpoint pens but they're all either twist or capped. So when I saw this all metal pen with a perfect pairing of colors and a clicker, I went for it.
Its shape and size are reminiscent of using a pencil, and the finish of the aluminum is smooth and pleasant without being slippery. In addition the click is nearly silent, which is always a plus in the office. As a final note, thank you to everyone at the Pen Venture team for the excellent handling of my order.
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.
Excellent Pen! Excellent Service! Excellent Source for Pens!
Emy & Team, I am so pleased with my new Pilot Custom Urushi! I have been shopping around for awhile and thought for the longest time that this pen was out of my reach. Emy, your pricing was so competitive that the pen was now a possibility for me. I bought it and was delighted that it arrived at my door, all the way from Romania in just 6 days. That fulfillment time was quicker than many US-based stores. I appreciated the personal note as well. The pen is a writing dream and I would like to express a sincere "Thank You" to Emy and his Team and encourage anyone looking for a fine writing instrument to look no further than Pen Venture!
