Fifty4T - Titan Ultem – Pen Venture

Fifty 4T Titan Ultem - First Impressions

Emy has just sent me the 50/40 Titan Ultem. It’s a very well balanced pen made from a variety of rugged materials. This pen will outlast me, safe to say. The first and continuing impression the pen gives is its superb machining. The fit and finish is of the highest order comparable to artisanal products made in limited numbers by engineer-designers: like musical instruments, pocket knives, tobacco pipes and wristwatches. There is no feature or detail in this pen that distracts from my pleasure in using it. I respond to the common critiques of the 50/40 in the following way: (1) There is no clip. This is true. That this is a shortcoming is not true. I don’t need a clip. My writing surface is flat so it doesn’t roll off and the pen never leaves the studio so I don’t put it in my shirt pocket. (2) The Ultem material is the color of urine. I don’t see it that way. It’s transparent canary and provides a lively contrast to the titanium. If you prefer, the clear and smoked options are also available.(3) The nib should be gold. I disagree. This steel nib is comparable to premium Swedish surgical steel. There’s nuance and flexibility in its response. And the discrete etched logo is the only product marking on the entire pen (with the exception of the pen number out of a series of 250 at the bottom of the cap). (4) It’s too expense. That is an opinion not an argument. I had no problem paying the €640.

Gravitas Fifty4T

Magnificent pens, fast delivery, good prices, great customer service. Trust Pen Venture for all pen needs.

Great pen

This is my second Fifty4T Titan. Loved the first one so much I had to get a second one in different materials. The pen is very well made. Durable material and solid construction. The filling mechanism is easy to operate and has a huge capacity and the shut off prevents accidental ink leaks. Its durability and ink capacity make it a great pen for travelling. The writing experience is very enjoyable. The pen is well balanced. The nib is smooth and lays down a nice line.

awesome pen

smooth like a glass. Writes very well and to be honest the steel nib givez me confidence to not worry about presure too much :) this pen is for my taste beautyful and performs like a dream. If you would ask me what is my Grail pen this one would be one of those on the top. there is also Carbon fibre version and I have to tell that that one is even better because of the raw CF feel and texture

Titan Ultem review

Writes beautifully, very attractive in a spare, technical aesthetic, and seems very well constructed. A winner!
