Love the aesthetics of this pen! Only star lost I’d because the piston is exposed and really does limit it’s application as pen to carry around. I am limiting it to use as a desk pen. It is pretty.

Review Title: Very Unique Pen

This pen has a fascinatingly unique design. The thoughtful combination of lines and materials make this a modern work of art. Functionally, this pen has been great. The plunger filler works well, the titanium Bock nib is soft and springy, but not a flex nib. It has a fair amount of toothy feedback but isn't scratchy. My preference would actually be for it to be a little smoother, but I still enjoy the tuning as is. My particular pen writes very well with a very generous ink flow.

However - I have experienced a quality issue. The carbon fiber laminate began peeling off the cap in strips days after I received the pen. However, Joost is working with Venvstas to resolve the issue. I have also noticed some variation in the look/finish of the carbon fiber between the different sections of the pen. There are visible circumferential rings around the barrel - this is a linear carbon fiber, so I would not expect to see that. Maybe it is an artifact from the machining process?

This writing instrument is made of excellent materials and is produced with very good build quality. The titanium nib does have some flex but is different than both gold or steel nibs in terms of feedback. The feed complements the nib and I did not have any issues with ink starvation. The issues that do exist result from this pen's design not fully supporting its functionality. Posting the cap will result in the plunger being depressed. Also, there is no clip with this pen. The designers should have taken these issues into consideration and produced a pen that does not require an owner to change their personal preferences or the purchase of add-on items. Overall, this is a lovely pen but much more thought should have been applied to its functionality and how owners will actually use it.

Review Title: Fantastic looks and writing experience to match

The carbon fiber looks great and provides a light-weight but high-quality feel. The nib wrote perfectly and was enjoyable to write with. I would love if this pen had a clip, but that's a minor issue for a fantastic pen.

Review Title: Venustas Magna

Smooth writing nib with large ink capacity. Carbon fiber feels great in the hand.
Was a pleasure dealing with Appelboom

Review Title: Venvstas Magna Carbon

I really like the look, feel and quality of construction. I write with a high grip and very shallow angle to the desk top. At that angle I had skipping issues with the Titanium nib. With a loop I noticed a baby's bottom which with careful "adjusting" the issue was resolved and it has become one of my favorites.

Review Title: Special Pen

Thank you for the great service! I like this pen. Its special and the titanium nib offers some flex and line variation. I use a Medium nib and its quite standard as European mediums are. For me, it works well with black inks.
