Ti Ultra Pen

I rarely write product reviews but when a purchase is even better than advertised, it’s a pleasure to do so. This Ultra 3-in-1 pen I recently bought is absolutely beautiful, both to hold and in the quality of build. It sits perfectly in the hand and is incredibly well balanced. It is light weight but does not at all feel cheep. I own a number of quality writing instruments and this has now become my go to pen for daily use. I write with a Cross Rollerball 0.7mm refill so I cannot speak about the fountain pen.

This pen is really well made, maybe too well made haha. I went with the stonewashed and I have no regrets. I think the Bock nibs write much better than my old Parker. I have not had many issues with running/ leaks etc. What I have noticed is that the O-Rings do a really great job of "sealing" the pen when you close it. This minimises evaporation of fountain pen ink, but what I noticed is that this can create a "terrarium" like environment so my fountain pen was smelling so bad. I would wash it/ rinse it all out, and it would continue to smell bad again after a couple of days. But take the cap off to air it out every now and again and your problem will be solved. I read another review below that I think is talking about the same problem (copper smell in clutch mechanism). I have no doubts that it is fully titanium though as it doesn't set off any metal detectors.

Wonderful and many thanks, needed professionally.

The pen is well made and thoughtfully designed—just not by a regular fountain pen user. The rings make a good grip but the threads should never be adjacent to the nib. This design might look better but it makes clean filling very difficult. To keep the section ink free I remove the converter and fill it with a syringe. If you don’t mind this hassle it is a good pen.

I absolutely love my new pen I use mainly as a ballpoint pen everyday and I enjoy writing with it.
