TWSBI Precision - First Impression

[countrydirt]

I saw the TWSBI Precision and decided I had to have it. I ordered it direct from TWSBI last Thursday and received it yesterday. I inked it up with a blue Hero ink and started using it right away.

I was afraid that I would find the design to be Stark or industrial with many sharp angles and drastic differences in size between the components and that it would be heavy. That's what I expected from reading people's impressions from the pre-sale photos on Goulet and other outlets.

I can tell you that I was worried for no reason. I don't find the pen to be heavy or sharp or ugly. I like it very much. It is very comfortable in my hand and I don't even notice the "step down" from the barrel to the grip. I really like the 1.1 mm nib. This seems to be the smoothest TWSBI nib I've used and I have 4 other 540s and 580s.

I weighed the pen. My scale shows 36 grams capped and 25 uncapped. My yellow Safari is 22 grams capped and 14 uncapped. The Monteverde Tool is 51 grams. I never post any of my pens when writing, so posting ability will never be tested by me.

Anyhoo, my first impression is very positive. Here are some pics.
