Product Description
Named for the Italian word for feather, the PIUMA fountain pen from Los Angeles–based Ensso is a study in functional simplicity. It’s precision-machined from a solid block of aluminum, finished with a stealthy black coating, and fitted with a smooth-writing German-made nib Read More
I actually love this pen. Due to the anodize finish, the screwing and unscrewing of the cap is one of the most satisfying feelings ever, plus it makes this metallic sound that is music to my ears. However, I had to buy a clip on Amazon, open the clip's "arms" to accommodate the cap's width, and JB Weld it to the cap to actually make the pen realistic to carry. If it had a pocket clip I'd give 5-stars.
Here's a link to the clip I bought: https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Space-bcl-Matte-Bullet/dp/B0014M0AO4/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=black+pen+clip&qid=1595882956&sr=8-2
The pen looks stunning! It has a really nice weight to it as well. It is a relatively large pen but its weight is not prohibitively high. It is not too light either (like plastic pens), so it still has a really premium feel!
The pen cannot be posted, but the weight distribution is good. The cap screws on and does make a slightly screechy noise because you are rubbing metal on metal. But my friends and I did not find it annoying. Furthermore, the noise does reduce after a few days (it is barely noticable now).
I got the medium nib and it was slightly thicker than other mediums that I am used to. But it writes really smoothly without any skipping.
Overall, this is an amazing pen and I would recommend it to anyone!!!!
This purchase was a spur of the moment" sort of purchase, but I'm glad I did it. The Fine #6 Bock nib I bought writes smoothly with the slightest hint of feedback, exactly how I like my fountain pens. I inked mine with Monteverde Midnight Black, and the colour combo is very suitable for professional environments. And very dark... like my soul.
I wish it came with a clip - I put mine in a case whenever it's not in use to prevent it from rolling away.
First I was quite surprised by its weight but soon enough it even felt more comfortable than most other pens. The output it gives you is satisfying as well.
I really love this pen. I will be honest, I ordered it because I loved the stealth black simplicity. After I ordered it I found some reviews where people complained about the nib and I was a little worried to be honest. When the pen showed up, I inked it with Diamine Onyx Black and it writes like a dream. The med. nib is a little wider than some of my other med. nibs but I love it. It's very smooth and perfectly balanced.
The only slight hesitation I have with this pen is that the nib is sometimes dry on the first stroke - it doesn't happen all of the time but it does happen. The second minor thing is that I do kind of wish it had a clip or something to stop it from rolling. I knew that when I bought it and the price was great - I regret nothing!
The finish has held up, the size is pretty damn near perfect. Doesn't post that well but I don't post my pens. Medium nib is juicy but as others have mentioned a bit wide, almost a bold. Uncaps fast.
