Gravitas - Monster Aluminium | Black – Pen Venture

Complete pile of shite

Bought a Gravitas Monster. Kept in pen sleeve in padded case. Used carefully. Treated carefully. Filled twice. Noticed ink all over my hand. No obvious problem. When home I emptied the pen and notice a thin crack in the barrel at the "turning knob" end, just before the aluminium. Now unusable. Ink seeping out. Complete waste of money. Complete crap. Either desire flaw, or poor materials or both. Watch out. Will never buy another Gravitas POS, nor from this retailer again.

A modern yet classic piece of working art

This pen is everything hoped for, and everything I had heard it would be. With a little bit of luck it will be a go to pen for many years to come. Minimalistic yet beautiful and sleek in its design. I love this nib (medium) as it is smooth and writes like glass. Well worth the price point in my mind and it shipped quickly to boot. It has been in my EVD carry bag since I filled all 7ml up. Long journal sessions are a joy with it as it is not too large for my hand and just feels perfect weight wise. You might get the sense I sort of am gushing a bit. I am. I haven’t found much about this pen so far I don’t like. Hope this helps! Happy writing!!

the Gravitas Monster Fountain Pen

I recently bought the Gravitas Monster fountain pen Black from Pen Venture, after hearing so many good things about it - and I’m glad I did. The pen looks fantastic and feels solid in hand. All the parts fit perfectly, and you can really sense the quality of the workmanship. The fine nib writes beautifully, smooth and precise. I especially appreciate that the Pen Venture team checked and adjusted the nib before shipping, which made it perfect right out of the box. It also comes in a sturdy case that keeps it safe from damage, and the large ink capacity is a great bonus for longer writing sessions. Overall, the Gravitas Monster is a well-made, reliable pen that’s a joy to use. Great product, great service - highly recommended!

Gravitas Monster Black

The pen was larger than expected but with good weight and balance. I can get use to the size. Nib out of the box is wet and smooth. If any complain I wish there is a small brass roll stopper at the widest part of the cap and even less turn to uncap.

Excellent pen, delightful purchase.

I've waited a couple of weeks to review from purchase. For context, I've owned the pen for about three weeks, I've written through one super fill, around ~800 words in total. The pen is the black model, with a fine nib.

Overall, the Gravitas Monster is my favorite fountain pen I've owned. The ebonite feed makes the Monster write wetter than the Ultemate Vac Filler, which was my one compliant of that pen. The pen is large, but for my hands, a perfect size. One of the only pens, other than the 149, which I don't have to post to write comfortably. The Monster is perfectly manufactured and well designed, I love the contemporary design, it's unique in a sea of cigar-shaped, plastic pens.

Pen Venture was quick to ship, their shipping notifications numerous and helpful, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a hand-written note of thanks from the PV team. Something no company in my country would ever do.
