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

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
