2023 Gravitas Quark UP Fountain Pen Review and Anodization

Ben Walsh of Gravitas Pens sent me this unique pocket pen. The Gravitas Quark UP Fountain Pen is made of titanium, so I couldn't help but anodize it! I show how anodization works. I unbox it, talk about the parts and features of the pen, provide some size comparisons and measurements, and then do a writing sample. After the writing sample, I talk about what I like and what I don't like about the pen. Please feel free to use the chapters provided below to skip to various parts of the review.
