Delta Titanio (Limited Edition In Meteor Acrylic)

All should get a look at the Delta Moma LE with carbon fiber and titanium nib. Views?

 

This looks like one I'd have to see in person and hold in my hand to decide if I like it. In general, I'm not a huge fan of orange pens. If it has the titanium nib, though, it's probably an amazing writer. The nib on my Titanio was off just a little when I opened the box, but I was able to adjust it with just my fingers, and it writes beautifully. Very wet, more than semi-flexible (to my mind), as I can see the tines spreading with the slightest of pressure. It definitely makes for an enjoying experience.

I've seen one in person. It looks better from a distance, but the overall shape and weight do make for a comfortable pen. There are aspects of the design that I like ( carbon finer), and others that I don't (numerous). Overall, I think it clashes with itself. The pen I saw had nib and feed misaligned, which is pretty normal for Delta (hey, it's Italian!), but even after I aligned them the feed/nib fit too loosely and so could easily move around. All in all not very good. Maybe 250-300 bucks would be a fair price. Also, just because the nib is titanium does not make it good. Best use of any given material makes for a good nib IMHO.

Jonro,

 

Thanks for the review of this pen, to which I concur based on my Titanio. :thumbup: I got a sweet deal on a black one that I fell in love with - until I saw a Titanio in this colour. :gaah:

 

Ah well, it's all about the nib anyway, eh?

 

Cheers!

Mike

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
