Does not suprise me one bit that this pen sold out immediately. I was lucky to
get mine. . .figured it would sell out. What a beauty it is! Too much money? Nope.
Worth every penny. I have an extensive pen collection from high end fountain
pens to 99 cent ball point pens but I have never encountered anything like
the CW7T Pen Type-A. To say that it is exceptionally well made doesn't do it
justice. I am not being corny when I say you can actually feel the love that
went into the making of this pen, both from the inventors and the people who
crafted it. It is a pure delight to hold. The case is wonderful. It is fun to
play with! And writes beautifully. In short: perfect. I am totally in love with
this pen.

The good : this pen is definitely special. The craftmanship is exceptional, is very heavy and it makes for a fine toy - for example, you can spin the "cap" and the thin air layer acts as lubricant, can make a "pop" sound with it, or you can even use it as a weapon in more than one way !

The bad : the pen is so heavy, so it is fairly easy to damage the fine point. Then, being perfectly cylindrical it rolls easily - this can be corrected by adding a small bump at the top of the cylinder. Finally, the low air pressure in the container might mess up the gel ink continuity, meaning that there's an impression of running out of ink after you start writing.

Overall, the good parts definitely compensate the bad ones, and the pen should be used as intended - meaning as a toy that writes rather than a pen. A line to cw&T : make it of gold ( spend 10k) and sell it for 100k :)

I received my pen as part of the Kickstarter campaign as well. I was one of the last to receive mine, but it was well worth the year wait. The most unique thing about this pen is definitely the pop sound it makes when you pull it from the sleeve. This is due to the amazing tolerances that they manufacture these pens to. Writing with it gets a little tiring after long periods though, the barrel has a bit more thickness to it than I'm used to and no grip, so my fingers tend to get a little tired of holding it. My normal writing pens are hi-tec cavaliers and rotring 600's for comparison.

All in all it's a lovely pen and eye catching.

Wow! What a sweet pen this is! I've always been a gadget man and sure enough seeing this on Jetpens got me thinking, "I need this pen". It is way too over the top to EDC but it will be in my new pencil case just to show off to the coworkers and anyone else that will appreciate this well crafted writing instrument. I like the design and having it made completely out of 304 stainless steel is not short of amazing. It is beautifully executed and designed. If I don't lose it before it's time, I will pass this on to my daughter. For now, I am enjoying this pen immensely.

Got mine off kickstarter, it's *awesome* :)

I absolutely love this pen/ruler set, and it uses my favorite Hi-Tec C refills. But I won't take it on business trips ... TSA gets nervous when they see this in my backpack. They think it's some sort of high-tech hypodermic weapon. TSA nearly confiscated it at the Kansas City airport last night ... I had to take it completely apart and prove to them it was a pen. Sheesh.

I'm using it at my desk from now on, because I'd hate to lose it.

I was one of the first to support the Pen Type-A on Kickstarter and fortunate enough to receive mine a long time ago. The Pen Type-A is amazing... the build quality is nothing short of excellent. It is sleek, solid, well made, and truly does look 'heirloom quality.' I'm sure it will be passed down to someone in my will.

I purchased my Pen Type-A during the Kickstarter campaign. I can't imagine writing without it.

I got my Pen Type-A during the Kickstarter campagin. It is a great pen to throw in my bag and not worry about getting banged around. It accepts Pilot Hi-Tec-C refills, which are wonderful pens alone. The combination of the Hi-Tec-C and the metal casing make this pen unbeatable.
