Ti Arto EDC

Got one of these for my birthday and I absolutely love it. I'm a professional graphic novel illustrator, so quality and ergonomics with your stationery really matter when you're drawing, writing, or sketching for hours a day. The Ti Arto EDC is thick enough for a very relaxed, comfortable hold, but not so thick that it feels like a marker either. Perfect weight distribution too, doesn't strain my support finger. I mainly put Uni-ball Signo DX .38mm refills in mine, and it holds them marvelously with zero nib wobble. Fits well in a Leuchtturm sketchbook pen-loop (see photo).

Would've given it 5/5 but the black rubber ring on the rear part sometimes comes out of its groove when pulling the pen from my pocket or a holding sleeve. Already lost 1 ring when it bounced off into some grass at a park, and it's a bit tricky to get a new one on without having it twang off like a taut rubber band. If anyone has tips for more easily getting them on there, I'd love to know!

Anyways the rubber ring issue is a really minor annoyance compared to how excellent everything else is about the pen. I still highly recommend it if you have the budget for it.

this is literally the best pen you can have! you just put anything in it and it will work!!
best pen I brought at that time!

So just going to say at the outset, the Ti Arto is not my favourite of the Big I pens as I tend to be more a fan of fidgety pens, however was keen to try it out & still think it's deserving of 5 stars. Looks awesome in the raw titanium & has a very luxurious feeling in the hand (the indenting at the top makes it very comfortable to use) & writes nicely. I like the fact it can adapt to different refills & sizes, so keen to experiment with this. So while it's not my favourite & won't be my EDC pen, it's a very nice pen to keep on my desk & use those times I want a special pen or the security of having a capped pen on me that wont leak.

Love this pen and its versatility. Have gotten a bunch of compliments on it from other designers I work with

Well, it has been about 3 weeks since I got my Ti Arto EDC pen. I have used it regularly and have carried it in my EDC rotation. I find it to be very balanced, and a great weight for my everyday carry pen. I used the gel refill from my Uniball Big Box Store pen and had no issues with the compatibility due to the seemingly endless adjustable range of its great design. I am very used to a click pen so it feels a little strange to cap and uncap instead of clicking, however the way the cap is stored on the opposite end makes me confident it won't get lost. The greatest feature is the quality of construction. It's funny to say, but this pen will last long enough that I will have to decide who to give it to when I am gone! Great job BIG i DESIGN!
