A solid upgrade to the Entry line

This is a nice upgrade to the original Aluminium body / steel section Entry. The capping experience is much more premium, and the whole pen feels premium too. The weight is exactly the same as the old one (both 24g on my scales inked and unposted) but the balance is more traditional as both body and section is Ti rather than a heavy steel section with light alu body. Also raw Ti has a slightly tacky feel so the section is grippier than the black coated steel which is helpful. I enjoy the high quality minimalist look of it a lot. The gravitas extra fine nib is also, unexpectedly, a joy. It is a little broader and wetter than I was expecting but has a touch of very pleasant feedback. I’m glad I got the EF as I think the F may have been a bit too much for my diary with normal paper.

For those looking to use this as a platform for swapping in Jowo nib units be aware that whilst the threads are the same the section is precision machined to fit the body of the gravitas/kanwrite nib unit which is a hair slimmer than most Jowos. Therefore some Jowo nib units will just about squeeze in and work fine, while others will not fit at all. So far two out of the three i’ve tried have fit with a little encouragement initially, but a third has not. I expect I can get that nib working in it by swapping it into a nib unit which does fit. So not the end of the world and I can use my other nibs but not a perfect fit for all Jowo nib units. I’m glad that the Gravitas nib is nice. Also note that I think the converter nipple is a hair thicker on the gravitas nib unit as the included converter is tight on that nib but loose on my Jowo nibs, so best to swap to a standard converter when swapping nibs, and vice versa if you put a gravitas nib in another pen, use the gravitas converter too, as my normal jowo nib converter is too tight.

Fifty4T - Titan Slim Line Aluminium Frozen Bronze
Marcel Gillander
perfect choice, excellent service

The Fifty4T Titan SL is a perfect EDC pen: solidly constructed, excellent nib, a great writer and a practical filling system which is a joy to use.
Great service from Pen Venture and rapid delivery. I appreciated the handwritten note which added a touch of luxury and exclusivity to my order.

Diamine - Nib cleaning fluid
Charlotte Hardiman
Good nib cleaner

It does what is suppose to do, Very expensive for the amount you get but when you need it to clean heavy the shimmer from your nib it does the job.

Taccia Sunaoiro - Tsuchi Ink 40ml
Charlotte Hardiman
My favourite brown ink

Taccia Tsuchi is my favourite brown ink. Behaves great, it’s wet, dries quickly and the colour is neither too light nor too dark. Warm colour like chocolate and has good shading. No shimmer. Delivery was insanely quick and the handwritten personal note was a very nice and appreciated touch. Thank you!
