Worther Compact Metal

[zipp]

I just received the Worther Compact Metal.

 

Honestly, I loved its design, but I was expecting a cheap pen. For my surprise, inside the box was piece of art. The spartan, elegant design comes with a perfect, German made finishing. I quickly installed a Waterman converter (it comes without - the only minus of this pen) and filled it with Diamine Teal. The nib is amazing, it works like a... German piece of machinery. Perfect. Normally, I prefer heavy pens. This one is light (aluminum), but it's very well balanced. Than, the texture (brushed aluminum) of the pen gives a tactile pleasure. What can I say? One of the most beautiful pens (I know, it's just a matter of personal taste) with a minimalistic design, a perfect finishing and a nib that works excellent. For a small price. Thank you, Worther!

Looks very cool. I have some of their 5.6 mm pencils - which I love.

Very nice. Great choice of ink too.

 

How long is it, capped and posted?

I've looked at those and a lack of broad nib holds me back. Great looking pen though. Where does the step hit your hand? What's the clip like?

Hello chiaroscuro,

 

Closed, it's 13 cm long (not a good pen for superstitious people, than). Without cap is 12 cm. The pen cannot be used with a posted cap. Simply because the opening of the cap has the same size as the barrel. That could be a minus for those loving to post the cap. Doesn't affect me, though.

 

Hello UncleRed,

 

The clip as you can see in one of the images, doesn't touch the barrel. The space between them is less than 1mm. Being thick aluminum, it doesn't bend, but it has a pivot inside the cap (with a resort) so you can open it. It's like the hood of a car. To see better where the step touches my hand, I will post a picture with the pen, being in my hand. It's fairly long, without the need of posting the cap.

Cool, Thank You

Wörther is an amazing brand, the only line of models that I don't like is the spiral ones, every other model of fountain pen, ballpoint and, specially, mechanical pencils are gorgeous!
