BIG IDEA DESIGN Ti Arto EDC : The Ultimate Refill Friendly Everyday Carry Pen

I've recently gotten into the void of pen, ink and stationery. And in the process have bought several more expensive pens and a whole variety of ink in order to find out what my favorite would be.Turns out the pen I like the most is the pen that was able to accept all the different type of refills I threw at it - even though I've finally settled on just one ink and no longer switch around. While I think I may have ended up liking the steel more, the black has a perfectly nice finish and the weight and grip is just right as the tool that gets out of the way when you use it but feels just right when you take time to measure it.I didn't expect what I thought would be the utility pen to become the main I use to write the most. Overall, would recommend.

This is a great light weight pen. It’s built well and the screw mechanism that holds the pen refill is smooth. However, my pocket clip came slightly bent and off center, not a dealbreaker but something I expect a $90 pen to not have. Another thing to be aware of is that the refill can move slightly inside and cause a rattle when writing. I thought about using a small oring on the refill to keep the rattle sound down. The thing that attracted me to this pen is the amazing number of refills I can use. I have tried around 20 and haven't had an issue with one yet.

This is a brilliant pen design! It will accept almost any ballpoint or rollerball refill. Unlike a lot of pens that adjust for different refills, this one keeps the point rigidly in place with no play. It also does not require any spacers, different springs, or swapping of parts. Installing different refills is quick and simple.Even without the refill options this would be an excellent pen. It is comfortable to hold and offers a secure grip. The weight is moderate and the balance is fairly neutral, although that does depend a bit on the refill you use. The screw-on cap also posts on the end with a couple of twists.The pen is all made of titanium, even the clip. That means it is very tough, but not overly heavy. The black version has a vapor-deposited DLC coating, which is an expensive option with most other pens. The coating gives is a nice glossy look and also hardens the surface to protect against scratches. It might scratch your keys, but they won't scratch it. (Note that the other two finishes are not surface hardened and will pick up scratches.)The Ti Arto EDC has a sophisticated industrial look that would not be out of place in a business meeting or on a drafting table. If you could only own one pen this would be the one.

I have a pretty substantial pen collection but the problem is finding replacement ink cartridges.When I heard about this company I was excited because now I can use virtually any replacement ink cartridge available at the time.I like that I can use the ink cartridges from inexpensive pens thereby giving me the opportunity to use a high-end professional writing instruments such as this.Although I feel that this pen is expensive it's all also worth the money if you use it often and will overtime pay for itself because of the ease of using inexpensive ink cartridges.I recommend this product to you. 👍

Made in China, feels very cheap. Writes well, and gets rid of pen tip wiggle. Collet that holds cartridge likes to come loose/let the cartridge move (in and out not side to side). Maybe I'm not tightening it enough but the collet is plastic so I don't like to crank on it super hard

Favorite EDC pen. Doesn’t slip out of my pocket like my old Fisher Space Pen. And the ability put just about any (Schmidt refills don’t work) is a major plus. Solid pen with a great feel. Weight is very nice in the hand. Easy to setup and use. Highly recommended. Last pen I’ll have to buy. Just stock up on favorite refills.

Love this pen. I especially enjoy the fact that practically any refill will fit. Im a pen guy and like to get different premium pens. This product is probably the best of them all because of the ease of changing refills of different brands with varying quality. Buy the generic fischer gell refills from Amazon, those are awesome and they fit this pen perfectly.

Pen is very well made and I've had only 2 issue with it. First is that occasionally the threaded portion of the pen that tightens the ink cartridge sometimes over tightens and then releases causing the cartridge to fall forward. The other issue is the other day I went to use the pen and found that the cartridge had busted inside the pen, most likely unrelated but I'll still mention it. Overall a great pen and I love using it, always get comments and questions about it.

Bought the stonewashed and the black. Both very nice and works well with a few refills that I tried. The supplied Schneider Gelion 39 Black catridge is excellent and is now my favorite gel ink.

bigidesignのペンも、これで2本目です。でも、もう買わないかな？　以前買ったTi Pocket Proも、かなりのリフィルを装着できるものだけど、ちょっと油断して使おうとすると、ペン先が野放図に出てくるという欠陥があった。けれどもこのTi Arto EDCはペン先を2ミリ芯ホルダーの口金スリットのような部品で固定する機構なため、同じ欠陥が無い点が勝れている。ただやっぱりリフィルの長さを調節する部分にはグリースがベッタリ付いてるので、油断すると手がベッタリしてしまう。とはいえ、殆どのリフィルを装着できるのは大きなアドバンテージだと思う。　特に互換性を極端に嫌う日本のブランドの様々なリフィルを一本のペンで使えるのは、正直ありがたい。ただ最近は、三菱のジェットストリームも、ぺんてるのピクーニャもパーカータイプのＧ２リフィルを出してきているから、一時ほどの不便は感じなくはなってきてはいるけど…。パイロットのアクロボールやゼブラのエマルジョン、三菱の加圧リフィル（小さいタイプしか装着できないけど…。大きいタイプを装着できるものは純正品以外ないけど）、トンボの顔料水性リフィルといった魅力あるリフィルを一本のペンで堪能できるのは良いことだと思う。ゲルなどの111ミリ芯のリフィルは他にいろいろやりようはあるけど、長さの違うこういったリフィルは、こういうペンでないと対応できない。日本のガラパゴス的環境を生きていくのにアメリカや台湾の技術が必要…というのは情けないことだけどね…。 ※画像の4本はbigidesignの２本と台湾のTORONNOVATEの２本、コンセプトは全く同じ。機構は違うけど…。どちらもほぼ全てのリフィルが使える。
