Description

An ultra-portable and robust pocket pen, designed for those on the go, available now in a very robust and resilient material - Pultruded Carbon Fibre - manufactured using the pultrusion process, where carbon fibre tow is pulled through a resin bath into a heated die forming the raw tube of the pen and cures it - followed by machining on a specialsed lathe with a proprietary technique/process.

The cap of the Pocket, with triple-start threads, smoothly disengages in just 1.5 turns, and one side is expertly machined flat to serve as a practical roll stop. Posting the Pocket makes up for a full size writing instrument when in writing. The cap and the barrel of the Pocket Pultruded Carbon Fiber Eydropper are lined with Delrin to contain the ink and the pen holds* 1 ml of ink. *do not exceed 1ml of ink when filled for optimal use and cary.
The Eydropper version doesnt fit ink cartridges and/or converters and every pen is provided with an 1ml eyedropper.

The 25mm-long blacked out PvD section, ranging from 11.85mm to 9.8mm in width, is crafted from metal. Micro-machined grooves enhance grip, ensuring a secure hold, offering a comfortable yet firm stationary grip while writing with the Pocket.

The fountain pen is equipped with a Gravitas-production size 6 steel nib black color and fuelled by a red Nikko ebonite feeder. The satin texture of the carbon fibre with black and charcoal hue color is complemented by red accents like the feeder, Gravitas red logo on the cap and the barrel red rubber o ring. With every Pocket fountain pen comes included a small cartridge converter.

Elevate your writing experience with this compact and resilient pocket pen.

Simply fantastic

I just purchased his pen from Pen Venture last week. I anticipated its arrival and I was not disappointed. I opted to get the pen with a Fine nib - which is more like a F - M nib in actuality but I think I'm in love - I inked the dropper with my favorite Platinum Ink, Carbon Black CHOU Kuro and WOW! This has to be the smoothest writer I have and thats saying a lot since I have dozens of FP's. There's something about this pen with the Ebony feeder, the fine Point and the Carbon Black CHOU Kuro that is hard to describe. The feeling and sensation I get from using this combo is unlike any other. I can'r recommend this pen (and ink combo) enough. Anyone on the fence - jump off and buy it, you won't regret it and Pen Venture was super prompt in getting my my pen to the US quickly - no delays no BS, Great experience all around and I simply love the new GRAVITAS - POCKET PULTRUDED CARBON FIBER | NEW - EYEDROPPER Its my new daily writer attached to my pen holder on my Plotter Shirinami bible :)

I wanted to love it and then I had second thoughts and then it pleasantly surprised me!

I will start out saying that I think the eye dropper pen is a new version and the video review on the page is of a different cartridge version. I was a little confused as to which pen was going to show up and was hoping for the cartridge pen, but I did end up with the newer eye dropper pen. That being said, I have to say that while that disappointed me a little because I thought that it might be messy and I don't write a ton, I actually love the way this pen writes and I find myself picking it up and writing and scribbling little things just to write with it. The tuning Emmy did was perfect. This is the second pen Emmy has worked his magic on. I love the Pultruded Carbon Fiber material in the hand. At first the cap kept falling off the back of the pen because I was not posting it securely enough. I was afraid that it would mark the pen up, but I quickly learned that I just needed to put a little effort behind posting it and it has stopped coming loose and it doesn't leave a mark. So I am very happy with this pen. It is Juicy and smooth. I bought the fine and told Emmy I am used to a medium and like it wet. So it actually feels like a medium and it's perfect for me. I think the medium would be too much for me so I am happy that I went with the fine. My only complaint about the pen is the red o-ring above the section threads keeps getting unseated from my thumb or forefinger. It rolls down the threads and I suspect it will wear it out much faster than normal use if I'm not careful with it. I plan on purchasing some extra red o-rings to have on hand. I can honestly say that I think this pen is going to be with me daily and that is something new for me. I collect pens, I don't normally use them that much. But this pen is so nice to write with that I think it will get me to write more. It's a brand new year, so maybe it will be a new resolution to get more writing in and use this pen as an EDC. Thank you Pen Venture and Gravitas for a great pen experience!

Excellent pocket fountain pen

Thank you Pen Venture team for your efforts in delivering high quality products on time and in pristine condition. The handwritten letter from Emy and the personal care and fine tuning of my pen is a distinct service and highly appreciated by me.
I am excited with my new Gravitas Pocket pultruded carbon fiber fountain pen.
The nib (fine) and the nikko ebonite feed are outstanding !
Smooth - silky and wet . Thumbs up 👍 👌 👏
to Gravitas Pens and Pen Venture team , excellent writing experience!
My only remark and feedback is that the Fine nib seems to me more like a Medium size writing experience but as I said already I love it.
In my next purchase I will try the Extra Fine nib. 😃

It just feels right

How many pocket pens are equipped with an ebonite feed? I don´t know, but this one is--and from what I´ve experienced recently with other pens and a difficult ink (dry!) it is essential to me, that a fountain pen indeed comes with an ebonite feed! And look at this: isn´t this red Nikko ebonite beautiful?
And the rest of the pen is beautifil as well: that carbon fibre body looks posh and gives this seemingly small buddy essential weight you wouldn´t expect when you merely look at it. And of course: when in use the pen is a full-size pen.
The heart of the pen: nib and feed are indeed wonderful: the nib (M size) is wet but not a gusher (I can´t abide gushers).
Now a note about Emy from Pen-Venture: He always strives to make us, his customers, happy; it´s always a pleasure to shop at his fine company!

Marvellous

Ordering and testing the carbon pultruded pocket fountain pen from Gravitas I wondered about the haptic experience of the material. And I am absolute amazed with the warm and smooth experience of holding and writing. Also the nib works perfect. The look gets positvereaction from clients.
Also have I to mention the perfect service and the personal letter from Emy.
Great experience, looking forward for further purchases.

An Amazing Pen

A vacuum filler pen with the ink capacity of an eyedropper filler!
I like pens with large ink reservoirs, because more is better, especially if I'm away from my ink stash. Eyedropper fillers offer the highest ink capacity, but...if you don't have a way to shut off ink flow between reservoir and nib unit, you run into "burping" issues, which can get very messy, especially if you can't see if there's ink in the cap. The solution was either a vac filler, or a "Japanese eyedropper", both of which have a plug attached to a rod that can be screwed into the opening between ink chamber and nib unit, sealing it off. My Opus 88 and Visconti Homo Sapiens have a total ink capacity of around 3.5ml. The Monster G5 has an ink capacity of 7ml. That's like 10 Standard International Short cartridges! That means most casual users might fill their Monster 2-3 times per year. Using a Fine nib, one complete fill lets you write 450 A4 pages, or about 54,000 words. Hopefully, you REALLY LOVE the ink you filled it with, because you'll be looking at that ink for a long, long time!
But not only is the ink capacity huge, the pen itself is pretty amazing, as well. The Kraken filling system, a clever variety of a vac filler system (with an improved shut off valve) that prioritizes ink capacity, is virtually unparalleled in modern pens currently on the market. The Ultem (or clear Acrylic) body of the pen is polished to crystal clarity, the metal is highly corrosion resistant titanium, and the #8 steel nib is smooth as glass.
I'm cheap, and boring, so I do most of my fountain pen writing on plain copier paper, which allows the ink to spread out, letting a Fine nib make a line like a Medium nib. I also like to use Pelikan 4001 Königsblau, because I got a good deal on the 1,000ml bottle of ink from my favorite online seller. The combination of cheap(er) paper and ink pairs really well with the Monster's #8 nib and feed; my Fine nib makes a line comparable to a Japanese Medium nib, while keeping the color richly saturated. Using standard European 5mm quad ruled paper, the nib writes thin enough to be perfectly legible. I do have to write a bit slower, though, because the generous ink flow also means longer drying times, and writing too quickly can cause smearing issue. That's a me-problem, not a pen-problem.
The nib itself is stiff, but very smooth, meeting or exceeding the smoothness of all of my JoWo #6 steel nibs. In my opinion, the combination of nib and feed make this one of the best general purpose pens you can buy, because it will work reliably on a wide variety of paper, and a wide variety of inks. As with all demonstrator type pens, avoid "high maintenance" inks, like permanent/document/waterproof inks (and Baystate Blue), because unless you're a professional writer/author, that ink is going to stay in your pen for at least a month, and your pretty clear tank may become stained permanently.

Hefty, and Awesome

The Copper Sentry is one of the heaviest pens on the market. However, I find that hand fatigue is hastened more by grip section than the pen's overall weight. Moreover, the pen is back-weighted, with the center of gravity resting on the web of your hand between thumb and index finger, which makes the business end of the pen much easier to move across the page. The grip section of the pen is made from PVD coated stainless steel, and tapers from around 13mm to 11.5mm in diameter, making it ideal for a large pen.
The finish is flawless and free of blemishes and tarnish, but it will accumulate micro-scratches over time. However, unlike coated or painted pens, these scratches will me much less noticeable, because there is no bright shiny metal to contrast with the colored coating.
The nib is JoWo #6 compatible, meaning that the nib unit has the same type and size of threads as a standard JoWo nib unit, and you can most likely put a different type of JoWo #6 type nib into the nib unit. However, if you do that, be extremely cautious when putting the cap back on your modified pen; if the new nib sticks out a bit further than the original nib, there's a chance that the inside of the cap may touch/damage/destroy your new nib. And I can not tell the difference in performance between the Gravitas nib and a "genuine" JoWo #6 steel nib. The nib is smooth, with barely the hint of feedback, and ink flow is absolutely perfect, even with Pelikan 4001 Königsblau ink, which is dry enough to cause ink flow problems in some of my other pens.
The clip...is still not present on Gravitas fountain pens. And there is no roll-stop, either. So...that does limit your options in how you transport your pen, and the handy black single pen zippered pouch the pen is delivered in may become your default storage and carry option. If you're considering a pen sleeve, get one with a folding flap, to prevent the pen from sliding out of the sleeve.
Last item: ink capacity. Gravitas pens are designed for Standard International cartridges and converters. Converters hold 0.5ml, Standard International Short cartridges hold 0.7ml, and Standard International Long cartridges about 1.2ml - 1.4ml. You can "refill" cartridges with bottled ink using a blunt tip ink syringe, which gives you almost as much ink capacity as a standard piston filler pen. With a little practice, you can refill your cartridges without making (much of) a mess ;-), but keep a paper towel handy, just in case.

Great service - from management of expectations, communication, delivery speed and quality packaging...and the friendly handwritten notice by Ema that did not go unnoticed.
Thank you!

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.

Excellent customisation and personal service

Emy kindly fitted my initials to my new HomoSapiens Bronze Age. Matched the trim colour perfectly. Looks great. Emy’s personal attention to my emails and request etc were fabulous. I can highly recommend Pen Venture.
