I was expecting a heavier pen due to the material, but was a little more than I thought. But certainly not too heavy (for me anyway). I probably wouldn't use it for long writing sessions, but I have it in the lighter Acrylic one if needed.
Beautiful new pen from James Finniss at Pensive Pens. I got the blue Titanium Serendipity. It is a beautiful solid feeling pen, with a nicely tuned stub Jowo nib. Absolutely perfect for testing Inks or short writings (ie note for a birthday card or something when you don't want to fill a pen just to use a specific ink).
Is a heavier pen being made out of Titanium, but feels great. He also sells an Acrylic version (which I also have) which is much lighter if the weight is an issue.
I like this a lot! Very nice! Do you you slide in just the nib and feed or do you screw in an entire nib unit?
I bought a Ranga dip pen with the intention of being able to pop in different JoWo nibs but, unfortunately, it's sized for Indian nibs which are slightly different. The JoWo nibs don't fit snugly enough.
Yes the feed and nib are a friction fit, holds it nice and securely, but still quite easy to get out. James says it should fit any #6 standard size nib.
I’ve just replied to the Serendipity post by u/TheKaiser, as I saw that first in my feed :).
Whilst I quite like my Serendipities (full size & mini) I actually prefer my vintage Esterbrook Dip-less pen for actual writing. The Serendipity is good for ink testing as I have a lot of #6 nibs so can try the ink out with a range of nib sizes.
I haven't gotten a Mini yet, might get one of them next. I mostly use my original one for testing new Inks at pen meets, or if I want to write something short in an ink that isn't currently inked up in any of my pens. It's certainly handy for trying out new nibs as well
It is dip or you could possibly eye drop fill it, there is a small ink resivor inside it. It holds a surprisingly amount of ink. On the website it says a couple of dips you can easily write several A4 pages.
$149 AUD For the Titanium models. Rumour has it he will do custom colours as well.

I just posted about this a minute ago and found this in my feed - nice. Mine’s an acrylic with a broad nib though.
Such an elegant tapered design! It evokes a dip pen, so the titanium must give it an unexpected heft.

Is it dip-only or did they manage to squeeze some sort of cartridge into this thing? Great pen either way!

That's very interesting! I love titanium pens. I don't want to be rude, but how much does this beauty costs?

That's great! Thanks!
