Made with a fanatical attention to detail over the course of 2 years, the pen features a CNC-machined 6000 series aluminum alloy body and a smooth-writing German-made Bock nib Read More

Looks nice, and writes surprisingly better than expected. It can easily get scuffed, and doesn't leave very many options in terms of portability; it's purely meant to be a desk pen.

Had to pay 10e send costs. And then I had to pay customs 25e.. So the pen for me was over 70euros... Still happy with it - My first fountain so cant really compare. I am quite big this pen is not fir small people. Very smooth and clean, writes nice

Oh boy, where to begin? This pen turned into a sour grape for me, so just bare with me that I had to cough up shitloads on VAT and transport charges due to having no clue who would ship this pen. So I'm a bit colored in my review regarding the overall price. Now, the pen. Anodized aluminum all over. Even grip section. Looks nice, ends in a meh. Grip section is slippery, and I, for one, am prone to grip harder to parry that slippery feel. Me ending up with a cramping hand. The pen is big. Numbers may not deter you, but it is a bit on the unwieldy side. Balance is not great since the weight is evenly distributed. For a long pen, I would have preferred the weight leaning towards the nib of the pen. Cap unscrews, can be posted, but I don't want to. Far too long and the threaded section grinds against the pen. I would say it's not made to happen. So don't. Bock nib was a bit generous but smooth. Nothing really to complain about. The wooden pen holder is ok, but I prefer to store my pens nib down and lying flat in a wooden holder that is difficult to get your pen out of isn't something I see happening for me. Could have skipped that gimmick. Compared to Ensso Piuma or the Namisu all aluminum pen, the Trilogy comes off as a longer version of the Namisu Nova. So if you liked that one, but have a large hand and need a longer pen - this might be for you.

This is a 5 stars for the price and nib type. The feel is great and the writing is smooth and continuous with no breaks in flow. Well worth the purchase. I went for the silver with stainless steel nib. If you go with no pretensions is really looks great. If you want gold then you'll get what you pay for. Some people want to have a clip with their pens but for me this is simple elegance.

Slightly oversize for my Asian hand but still a good balance and weight. Bock nib is one of my favourite. Excellent value for the money.

Great pen to handle for the size, the anodize surface feels great. I grip the pen a bit lower with my thumb touching the step to make a lower angle. If you hold it lower, the pen might not balance well. It does post rather securely but I don't think this pen is meant for that. It writes really well, as expected from a Bock nib. It's not a flex nib, but it is soft enough to make some good line variation. I didn't need to clean the pen, ink flows just fine. I keep the pen on my desk, which I assume what it is meant to be, based on the presentation of the no clip and the wooden rest provided. Although, the block has an obvious design flaw. You have to pick it up in order to get to the pen. A notch to pick the pen would be nice. So I prop it by putting some tissue at the end. I can't take off just half a star but there you go.

Good looking pen. I got the Black with Gold nib. The pen itself seems very nice. It is huge and while you CAN post the cap you probably shouldn't. It really doesn't fit well, makes a large pen even larger and you will probably scuff the finish on the pen. The fit and finish is really, really good. Nothing sharp and everything fits well together. The nib, though........ It's ugly. The gold looks really cheap. It reminds me of the tin foil on those candy chocolate coins that you can buy at most grocery stores. It feels thin and weak as the just bends with the slightest pressure. It is bad enough that I am almost afraid that the nib will be permanently damaged with normal use. If I could replace the nib with a stiff, black nib I could probably take a real liking to this pen. UPDATE (about a year later): The nib is just a standard Bock nib. It's wetter and springier than similar other western nibs like Jowo, Nemosine, Lamy, etc. My personal preference is to write with a nail, it seems. So, if you like springy and juicy the nib won't be a problem. I still don't like the cheap coloring of these gold Bock nib units. I replaced it with a black one that I picked up from ennso and then pen looks great now.

smitbretBock is one of very well-known and well-respected nib (and feed) manufacturers in Europe. The gold "looks really cheap" because it probably isn't gold, judging that the price doesn't differ from the other nibs. Yours would be a gilded stainless steel Type 250 (the same one that I have by the way, nice accent to the black pen). Seeing that they use the stock systems, the 18K gold nibs would have "750" engraved under the "Bock" name. It might also feel thin and weak because it's probably just its feature. No your nib will not be permanently damaged unless you put excess amount of pressure which would not be a normal way of using fountain pens even (and especially) with stiff nibs. Softer nibs actually can use some light amount of pressure to make slight line variations in your writing. But of course it's preference, some people prefer stiffer nibs, some people prefer softer nibs. I like having both, stiffer for some quick writing, softer if I need to write for longer.

CalvinLimuel13I got a black, Bock #6 and swapped it out. Now it looks like a stealth pen. I like the look a lot more. Since I got the ZERO, I have picked up a couple of other pens with Bock nibs and discovered that I am just not a fan of Bock nibs. I prefer the 'writing with a nail' feel that I get from Jowo or Nemosine nibs. It's just a personal thing and if you are a fan of big, aluminum pens and Bock nibs this pen is a great buy at $49.

Well I received my Zero fountain pen today and was eager to try this new pen out. I ordered the black finish with the gold extra fine nib. My first impression of the pen was great but upon closer scrutiny I noticed the nib and feed was badly misaligned. I was able to correct the issue myself with no damage to the nib or feed but this left me with a bad vibe about quality control issues. I inked the pen up with Diamine Sapphire Blue ink and took it for a spin. The grip section is a good size for my large hands and found it not slippery after couple of hours of use and I have oily fingers. The nib performed as expected from Bock very smooth and a fine line stroke as well as very good ink delivery from the feed. The black anodized finish seems very durable but that remains to be seen. I am a big advocate of posting my pens. I have lost various caps to pens because not being able to post. This fountain pen can be posted but aesthetically the pen is just too long at 192 mm it’s just ridiculous and I thought the Caran d’ Ache 849 was long. Then you have the issues of scratching the barrel with the inside threads of the cap, it may not happen immediately but it will over time. The wooden box is a nice touch but to be honest its annoying. If it is to be used as a display piece then two notches should have been added at the center to allow easy removal of the pen with your fingers. Picking up the box and flipping it over gets old pretty quick. As a minimalist pen what can I say its up to the person using it. Minimalism is a vastly used term interpreted differently by everyone. Minimalistic to me on this pen would have been to make the cap snap on and make the barrel a bit shorter thus allowing posting, but that’s my opinion and likes. Overall compared to the Ensso Piuma Titanium which I also purchased from MD, the Trilogy Zero is lighter and longer which ends up being much more comfortable to write with un-posted. I enjoy using this pen but it stays at my desk since I don’t want to lose another pen cap.
