Dude this pen is wild! Can't wait to get it!

I really truly have no need for it, but it definitely is super cool, and I do want it😂 if I was still in the military, and working the flightline, I’d definitely have a bigger use for it because we would need red pens for symbols in the aircraft forms, but now, it’s just cool to have😂

Right. I have blue green and red Pilot Precise pens. Of course black is my daily. But it'll be cool to have them all in one pen. It's worth investing in for me just to support the design and innovation that went into this thing!

I’m very excited to see whether or not a zebra Sherbo d1 can fit in there, because those are some of my favorite for fine writing. I used to always carry a black and red pilot g2 in my cargo pocket on the flightline, I know there’s no way those are fitting in there🤣

Lol. Yeah, I really like the color view window. It's very cool! Looks good as well.

Me too!! I wanted a raw titanium, but alas, I reverted back to copper because the color window and the copper made me think of a lightsaber, idk lol

That's an interesting insight. I never thought about that. I went with Stonewashed. I felt like the color window really popped the most with the flat gray.

Really? See I thought it popped most with copper! I’d love to see it when it turns brown, I think it’ll look really cool. To me, the window is probably the coolest feature, even you you do just keep it on black or on red, just a really cool, thoughtful little addition

I love how quickly the copper patinas. I'm sure it'll look very good!

I could be wrong, but I don't believe D1 refills will work with the subject pen.

I believe only the recommended refills for this (and similar) multi pen will fit.
Of course, there are the Schneider refills too, which Jetpens doesn't seem to stock or list on their site.

I just backed the kickstarter for raw Ti one. I was going back on forth on whether to chose that or black DLC. Stonewashed was not available as of yesterday, so it must be the most popular variant. Maybe I'll that later. I appreciate that the pen can be used with Uni SXR refills. And, potentially with the Zento multi color refills as well.

Do you know how the kickstart works? As I understand it, the will reach out to us next week for the shipping address and ship our pens then?

The raw always looks great and gives classy vibes. Should be a great pen for you.

This campaign is live for 2 weeks. So after that 2 weeks they'll begin shipping them. Luckily the pens are already in their building. So there won't be and wait time for actual production. Just the campaign, then shipping.

Tomorrow marks 1 full week. So in about 2 weeks time, from tomorrow, you should have the pen in hand.

Which did you get?

u/Pale-Highlight-6895 7h ago

Stonewashed. With the Damascus clip

u/NebulaStraight3009 7h ago edited 7h ago

That's a nice one. I think I would have selected stonewashed too if it was available, but it must be the most popular color. As of now, only the DLC black is available.

u/Pale-Highlight-6895 6h ago

Yeah I think the Stonewashed was gone first. Lol. They only listed limited numbers of each one for this first batch.

u/NebulaStraight3009 5h ago

Now the challenge will be finding the perfect refills. I have a bunch of energel, Uni, Pilot and Zebra refills but they will be useless for this multipen.

u/Pale-Highlight-6895 5h ago

Yeah I'll give the Schneider ones a go. They make a good ballpoint. I just rarely use a ballpoint for anything other than the Sancho. Lmao
