Product Description
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said, “Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” This is the guiding principle of the ZERO fountain pen: a minimalist design from Trilogy Pens. 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
I recommend you to have a look at user's review about the wooden cradle first. Besides, why use a chunk of wooden block over a small clip to take up all the space on your desk, and I thought this was meant to be a minimalist design.
William_ShiuI couldn’t agree more. I fell in love with the pen at first sight, until I took a second glance. A wooden desk box? Not only is that far from minimalist, but I really don’t need “stuff” on my desk. A pocket clip would have made it for me, but then, I’ve already got a Lamy 2000. 😀
I really want to try this pen out, but unsure due the price drop being relatively small. I also can't decide between Extra Fine or Fine. I want a thin line, but I do not want it to be excessively scratchy.
Also, my only fountain pen is the Faber Castell Basic with a Fine nib. I really like writing with that nib as I find it super satisfying to write with, but it's a bit too bold at times when trying to do school work. Does Extra Fine ever feel scratchy, especially compared to a Fine nib? Also, if I was going to use this for school, has anyone experienced fatigue from writing with this pen for a few hours due to weight or other reasons? One other thing, does this have a clip to keep the pen held in my pocket?
Bock nibs are some of the best. I do have a a few pens with their fine nib - It’s smooth and I enjoy writing with them. You might prefer the EF nib, I don’t know for sure how the EF is, but I can’t imagine a Bock nib being scratchy. Just my experience .
If you compare this design to the Piuma or Nova, those pens have more style even though they are minimalist. This pen, OTOH, seems to be minimalist for the sake of minimalist. There really is nothing there, style-wise. Perhaps a purist would find that more true to the minimalist ideal. To me, it is Minimalism done wrong.
I just had my Parker 51 Vacumatic repaired, how would this pen compare to the Parker? Four pumps and it's good for 10 single spaced written pages, smooth to write with on good 28 lb paper.
rtomkinsSchmidt converters, like the one included with this pen, have a bit more ink capacity than a Parker 51 sac. There is no telling how long it will last. Depends on ink flow, writing style, nib size, etc.
mtozsuBought this on the previous drop. I got a bit excited though a bit skeptical when it says "gold" but same price. When I started writing I knew instantly it isn't made of gold. A little research, stock gold nibs from Bock would have "750" engraved. Still if it's gold plated, not just some coloring, that's gotta worth something right?
Ri for guan pen from Kickstarter a few years back. It’s one of my favorite everyday pen. It lives on my desk at work in the wooden holder. I got a fine mib and I love It.
