I own the titanium version of this pen and really enjoy it, so I was hoping the heavier model would offer an even better writing experience. While it certainly has the extra weight I was looking for, the balance is unfortunately off.....it’s too top-heavy, which makes it tiring to use for longer writing sessions. I think more thought had gone into the design and weight distribution. I also own a Smooth Precision copper pen which is very well balanced and a pleasure to use. It seems BID has followed Tactile Turn in producing a copper pen that’s simply too top-heavy to be practical. Unfortunately, it’s not usable for me and is going back in the box.
