Black Tie is exactly what the name promises: a formal, all-black Penlux Masterpiece Grande Reserva with bright rhodium-plated trim. There's nothing loud about it, and that's the point. It's a big, confident pen for people who want something classic that still stands apart from the usual executive pens.
An oversized pen that's easy to write with
The Grande Reserva is a large pen, with a 17mm diameter and 151mm capped length, yet it weighs only 29g thanks to its resin body. That combination of a thick grip and light weight makes it very comfortable for long writing sessions, especially if you have larger hands or tend to grip a pen tightly. Posted, it stretches to 173mm, though most people will enjoy it unposted.
Piston filling with a generous tank
Penlux fits the Grande Reserva with a built-in piston filler holding about 1.80ml of ink, which is a lot for a fountain pen. Fill it from any bottle and it will keep going for days of note-taking or journaling. The steel nib comes in Fine, Medium and Broad and is a reliable, smooth writer out of the box.
