Yet another pen
I normally do not like thinner pens, but this Anso has taken precedent over the other 30 machined pens I have, yes 30, not including fountain pens.
This is so similar to my Rotrings, but so light, perfect grip size for notes, no idea how it would be with pages of script.
I also love how much of the tip sticks out, should be this way with all TT PENS. Just get it, it is so very great, no tip wiggle , great design and great execution.

Disappointing
I own a Titanium Slim Bolt pen. I love it and use it daily. I ordered the Anso pen as a more ‘elegant’ alternative, expecting the only change to be in the aesthetic design. Sad to say, that was not the case. The click mechanism feels rough, almost like it is grating on something. It also gets stuck and seems to need some wiggling for it to engage. I still think the pen looks great, but It definitely does not deliver on the snappy, exact feeling that the Bolt Action does. Real shame. I really wanted this one to be great.

Oh my God this is worth every penny!! Perfectly weighted/balanced pen. Feels great in my hand and writes perfectly. The craftsman and attention to detail is incredible!!
