Description (from the Kickstarter campaign):
"The Ixion Pocket is our newest compact writing instrument, andfeatures a unique faceted design made from precision-machined Grade 5 Titanium.

Titanium needs no introduction. It is tough, lightweight, and its understated matte grey appearance perfectly complements the Ixion's faceted design. The Ixion Pocket is precision-machined from solid bars of Grade 5 titanium which is one of the hardest grades available.

Titanium is expensive and difficult to work with from a production standpoint. For £60, a mainstream brand would only be able to offer a precision-machined pen in a basic material like resin/plastic or aluminium. The Ixion Pocket offers exceptional value for a full titanium writing instrument.

Pocket fountain pens often have tiny nibs that write poorly, so we've chosen a large #6 nib made by Peter Bock in Germany to ensure this pocket pen writes just as perfectly as full size pen.

Full-sized pens with large nibs tend to write better, but they are bulky and harder to travel with. By contrast many pocket pens have small nibs that leave a lot to be desired in terms of writing performance. We chose to use a large #6 Bock nib (Bock 250 model) on a small pocket pen to get the best of both worlds: portability and excellent writing performance."
