The new Big Idea Design Ti Arto Kickstarter project features the most ambitious Ti pen yet. This one will allow for over 200 different refills without any hacks or tip wiggle. How could I not support a project like this? So, if you, like me have a favorite refill or six, then this is a pen you’ll need to add to your collection. One titanium pen is $65 when backed through Kickstarter and there is still more than 30 days left in the campaign to get in on the project. They have already exceeded their goal about 20 times over so its pretty safe to say this project is a go. Its also the twelfth Big Idea Design Kickstarter project so these guys know what they’re doing in terms of meeting deadlines and shipping requirements.
I had the pleasure of meeting Chadwick Parker (half of the Big Idea Design team) in Chicago this spring and he is as passionate about pens and craftsmanship in person as he appears in the video so I am delighted to back this project myself. That’s right, I’m putting my money where my mouth is.
So I’m looking forward to having one of these pens in hand and putting the 200+ refill claim to the test — and you know I will.
Good luck to Big Idea Design on their newest venture and congrats to them on creating another amazing looking project. I’m so excited to try it out. Will you?
I tried, I really did. I mean, I tried HARD, but I couldn’t resist, and I backed it. I don’t need another pen, but it takes 200 REFILLS! How could I not?!?
A couple of weeks ago I was going through the pens I had and I was thinking I like the refills but some of these pens are not going to last long. So I started looking for a pen that I could use a bunch of different refills with. Just my luck Brad Dowdy posted this pen on Twitter and I backed it before I realized what I was doing.
I could resist until I hear “no tip wiggle.” Oh, How that phenomenon is loathed by me!
