Description

Gravitas - Dinkey is a combination of its pocket-sized form scaled down to that of a quark. Refined and practical - the Dinkey consists in the sum of lessons learned throughout the years from previous models of Gravitas and brings out the very best in design, choice of materials and craftsmanship.

The fountain pen is small, portable, and handy, placing emphasis on the material from which it is made. It showcases a unique range of materials that, up until now, have not been offered in the Gravitas lineup. The Cupronickel used for the Dinkey is a special alloy highly resistant to corrosion, used primarily in the nautical industry for propellers, shafts and hulls for high end boats. Despite its high copper content, cupronickel is silver color.

The Dinkey inner cap comes lined with Delrin in order to prevent scratches from posting, the section is made from cupronickel alloy as well, sporting an o-ring at the threading point with the barrel and the section is threaded in order to be compatible with a Jowo size #6 nib unit. (standard steel Jowo nib unit)

The writing point of the Dinkey is a Gravitas steel nib, available in extra fine, fine, medium, and broad and elastic fine options, powered by a generic plastic feeder. Accompanied by a custom-designed plastic tube, this fountain pen is a perfect blend of style and functionality in a slim and small size.

Elevate your writing journey with the refined craftsmanship of the Entry fountain pen.

Great First Impressions

This Dinkey has treated me well. I've been carrying it on me for a few days now and am quite happy with it. I got an extra fine nib and it writes pretty wet, if you like a regular fine then go with the extra fine. Regardless, the nib seems well tuned. Not once yet have I seen it dry start.
The pen feels great in the hands, pleasure to use. The only thing I find that slows me down is when I post the cap, sometimes I don't push it down firm enough- since it doesn't screw or snap into place- and the cap gets loose as I try to start writing. Not a big deal for me personally, but one might consider the Quark to avoid that (or just stop handling it like a pansy like I should).
All in all, this is a very solid pen and a relatively lower cost but high quality option if you want a fancy pocket sized writing instrument. If you'll excuse the poor handwriting, I also took an image of some scribbling I did to give an idea of what the nib writes like.
Shoutouts to Ben for being such a creative designer and engineer, GRMA.

Your friendly neighbourhood Emy

This is an update/addendum after the "cap mishap', specifically to thank Emy for being so helpful, kind and efficient. The speed and adequacy of having the pen picked up, fixed and sent back across borders made it feel like he was just around the corner. If that were truly the case, I would have dropped by and bought him a coffee or whisky a long time ago.
Emy's service is in a class of its own.

Gravitas Dinkey Cupronickel - Extra Fine

Let me start with addressing some complaints about this pen. Yes there is a copper smell, but everyone should know any pen with brass or copper in the body will have the smell. There are other materials available if you do not want the “coin” smell. This Cupronickel smells a lot LESS than any Kaweco brass pens.
My Dinkey has no problems posting, and the edges and threading are not sharp to me. The Dinkey is smaller than a Kaweco Sport, and has a better nib. Now my Kaweco Sports are cleaned out and sleeping in my pen case, retired.
There are not many reviews on the Gravitas Dinkey fountain pen. Good thing the Pen-Venture YouTube channel has a detailed review of the Dinkey. The Dinkey is a very compact pocket pen with an excellent #6 full size nib. I really like how the cap does NOT SCRATCH the barrel of the pen, so if you buy the Dinkey with any beautiful colors/materials, there will not be wear marks from capping the pen. I like the Cupronickel because since this pen will be in my pocket, there will be humidity and this metal alloy is very resistant to rusting.
If you are thinking about buying from Pen-Venture, be assured, this retailer is honest, has great communication, and I highly recommend.

Death trap improvement

I have 6 Gravitas pens now. I really want to like them, yet after 2 ergonomically pleasing but stubbornley leaking GP Pockets, my first Dinkey was the biggest disappointment: with the size of the Quark and the shape of the GP Pocket, I was hoping for this one to be the goldilocks FP, however, it proved to have the shortest life span of them all. The plastic inner sleeve, added as an improvement to protect the pen from scratches when posted, immediately got a 'fausse route' carved after posting then capping it for the first time. After capping it a few times to find 'the right groove', the section got unwound and is stuck inside it (along with the nib). Trying to het it out with a pair of pliers, is not a pleasant prospect, since that will only further damage the threads of the inner sleeve.
I guess the sleeve got bumped or warped when capping. That happened too easily. The pen is out of order in less than a week of use.
Great feel and format (5 stars), but suboptimal design, lacking in function (0 stars).

Beautifully made but not without its flaws

The machining quality of this pen is second to none—it's a work of art—and the service provided by Emy/Pen Venture is fantastic. Really good communication, quick delivery and the handwritten note sent along with the pen was much appreciated. The pen also writes brilliantly straight out of the packet, with a smooth nib and no hard starts.

That said, this pen is not without its problems. For me, the biggest issue is that it is made from cupronickel. I had hoped that the marine grade quality of the material might help, but unfortunately, you are constantly plagued by a metallic smell on your hands when using the pen, just like handling coins, which are also made of cupronickel. There is no way round this as the pen is basically reacting with the oils in your skin. You might not find this so troublesome, but I really don't like the smell. Also, as other reviewers have said, it doesn't post that well, which for a pocket pen is a bit of a problem. Finally, the edges and threading on it are quite sharp, so it's not that pleasant to hold. In my view, the aluminium versions of the Kaweco Sport are much more pleasant to use as the posting is firm, the edges are rounded and there's no metallic smell.

Gravitas - Monster Aluminium | Teal
Ville
Lovely design, sloppy on the details

I absolutely love this design, but item I received left a lot to be desired in terms of quality and attention to detail. First, the nib suffered from hard starts. Furthermore, in the pen I received, the microengraving on the finial band is so far off centre that the taller letters are clipped at the top (please see attached photo). For me, neither of these is acceptable at this price point. After exchanging a number of e-mails with Gravitas customer support, they agreed to send me replacement parts for the filling mechanism (including the finial band) and the nib unit.

When the parts finally arrived, I was shocked and disappointed to see that the new filling mechanism did not work at all (the two parts at the tip of the plunger are stuck together, even a generous application silicone grease did not get them to move freely). Furthermore, the colour and texture of the anodising on the end finial of the new filling mechanism did not match the original pen, and the finial band has a serial number that was never present in the original pen (see attached photo). I can’t help thinking that someone out there has a “unique limited edition” pen with the exact same serial number on their pen as I do on my spare filing mechanism, which feels wrong. I contacted Gravitas customer support again, and they informed me that the anodising colour cannot be matched perfectly between batches (strange, considering that the anodising on all the parts of the original item I received was well matched), and that the serial number is not a warranty issue, so they will take no further action to try to remedy the situation. After inquiring about the faulty filling mechanism that didn't work even after generous application of silicone grease, I have not received any reply at all from Gravitas, which is disappointing to say the least.

After nearly 2 months, I am now left with a selection of mismatched and dysfunctional parts and disappointment. I find this to be a huge shame since the design itself is so lovely. Some of the issues I raised above are certainly nit-picky, but in my opinion reasonable expectations to have at this price point. Anyway, I hope that my review will at least allow others to have more realistic expectations of the quality of this product.

Aurora - 100th Anniversary Ink - Blue 55ml
ADRIAN MIRCEA HUDAC
Pleasantly impressed !

For a better understanding by on-lookers, I switch into Romanian.
La sugestia inteligenței artificiale, pentru stiloul Parker VP din folosință în momentul discuției, am comandat cerneala Aurora 100th Anniversary Blue, de pe site-ul Pen House. Ei bine, atât de mult îmi place cum scrie această cerneală, fără asemănare cu Parker Blue-Black / Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue, încât am vrut să mai comand încă o călimară ca rezervă ( deși pe moment nu este cazul având în vedere volumul generos al călimării ). Nu mai aveau...căutând pe net alți furnizori de această cerneală de lux rarissimă, am găsit că era în stoc la Dumneavoastră. Așa că, am comandat-o ! Apreciez enorm această cerneală, pentru ambalajul exterior inedit ( inclusiv pungulița ! ), pentru călimara elegantă, cu aspect vintage deopotrivă, pentru eticheta elegantă de siguranțare a dopului, scrisă în italiană și în engleză ( de altfel ca tot ceea ce este scris în exteriorul călimării ! ) pentru dopul intern fixat în gâtul călimării ( ceea ce nu am întâlnit la alte călimări !! ) pentru a preveni scurgerea ccidentală a cernelii. Și în fine, cerneala...are o culoare albastră fără asemănare cu nuanța de la Pelikan 4001 Royal Blue, Parker Washable Blue, Parker Blue-Black. Este o culoare albastră care cere să fie scrisă, care devine plăcută și după uscarea pe hârtie ! Nu își modifică aspectul față de momentul scrierii. Este o cerneală umedă, care încântă și stiloul ! prin calitatea și proprietățile sale. Îmi face o plăcere deosebită / enormă să o folosesc cu stiloul Parker 45 Classic, Made in USA, cu peniță de aur 14 K. Pentru că acest stilou merită ce-i mai bun !

Gravitas - Pocket Aluminium Cherry Velvet
Adam Noce
First Gravitas

Absolutely gorgeous little pen. Perfect for quick notes. Nice weight and texture makes it feel lovely in hand. Too short unposted for long writing sessions. And has a pretty smooth nib with little feedback. Everything from buying to delivery was smooth with no issues.

Only problem with the pen was a small ding on the top ridge of the cap. Didn't bother me. It lives in my pocket, will add more dings and scratches because this pen seems built to last a lifetime. This will be the pen my soon to be new born daughter will see me use daily. Will buy Gravitas again in future. PEN VENTURE made it a pleasant purchase experience.

Excuse my poor penmanship/spelling on photos

It's nice to have options

Picked up a fine black pvd nib so that I can swap it on occasion for the medium that's in my Gravitas Pocket Zirconium. This along with everything else in my order shipped quickly and was securely packaged. The nibs are in their own individual plastic cases which is nice to store them when not in use.

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!
