BIG IDEA DESIGNFountain EDC Pen (Titanium Stonewashed)

I never write reviews but after searching for the right fountain pen for the last several years, I have to say that by far, this is the best pen I own. I have spent thousands over the years buying many of the” higher end” brands and 99% of them are now simply collecting dust. My work takes me on the road quite a bit and this exceptionally well made/tough pen is with me at all times. No hard stops, etc - just flat out wonderful. Learn from my mistakes and don’t waste your money buying something else. I was initially concerned about the EF nib but once it was broken in, it’s now rights like a wider F. This little solder will last a lifetime and I can’t be more pleased with it. Well done.

I've been using fountain pens for more than ten years now, but I have always hesitated to carry one in my pocket because of the likelihood of it coming uncapped and leaking out. With this pen, I have no concerns.The body is a solid piece of Ti. No holes, no joints, looks like it was made from a cylindrical billet hollowed out on a lathe. The writing end has a similar quality, and again feels like it was machined on a lathe. The cap is the same. Where the body and the writing end screw together is an o-ring, which will certainly prevent the body from unscrewing unintentionally, and feels like it makes a good seal. The cap also has an o-ring, and it holds firmly to the body when capped. Spare o-rings were included in a very nice box. Overall the pen has a weighty feel, but isn't heavy. It feels great in the hand.The clip has been riding hooked to the front pocket of my jeans for a week with no bending or deforming. Again, it feels SOLID.I'm not a nib connoisseur, so I don't feel I could really give a fully informed evaluation of the nib. Sufficed to say, it worked perfectly for me out of the box, loaded with Noodler's American Eel Blue. I do feel it might not be as smooth as my Lamy EF nib with the same ink, but I can't do a side by side, and I'm still getting used to it.As advertised it came with a cartridge converter, and I had no issues loading it with ink.It certainly feels like a $100 pen to me. I'm extremely happy with the purchase, and would definitely buy it again if I had the need.

Terribly small ink capacity but otherwise wonderful pen. particularly love that it uses a snap cap and standard nib-section. Happily using an FPR #5.5 EF nib in this pen, thanks to that standard Bock section.nice heft to the pen too. if it had a higher ink capacity I'd say the price would be worth it. otherwise, it feels a bit steep.

Great quality. With the cap posted, very comparable to a F Pilot vanishing point. Medium-dry flow. With platinum carbon black, it writes well on news paper crosswords. Lots of feedback/scratch not really great for longer writingEdit: I ended sending this back. The connection between the feed and international cartridges is pretty flimsy and leaks.

Very well-received gift - partner has several fountain pens and was impressed with the quality of this one. She now carries it daily. Lasts for a decent amount of time between refills and the weight makes it pleasant to write with.
