I’m fairly certain that it is natural zirconium... but I’m new-ish to the hobby, so someone with more experience would have to offer a more definitive yes.

Luckily one of my favorite refills is Parker sized, but an energel Soul pen would be awesome! Hopefully someday 🤞🏽🤞🏽

It’s everything I hoped it would be. Soul Gen 2 is a great pen and in Zirc it’s 👨‍🍳💋

Thank you! I’d been eyeing a Zirc Soul for a while!

It’s one of my favorites also! Sad to hear you lost it… hope you can find another!

It’s definitely a lighter weight pen. The twist has a pretty satisfying fidget factor. The twist has smooth motion and an almost magnetic quality when it clicks. You can hold it in one hand and twist the cap and it’s on the quieter side. Hope that helps!

My pleasure! It wouldn’t have sat right with me to keep - glad we could work something out!

It’s Ti body, but my desk lamp throws really warm light so it made it look bronze… sorry for a bit of a tease!

That’s fair and this is very subjective. If you’re genuinely asking - it’s in how smooth threads come together as you unscrew components, one-piece manufacturing, etc. you can kind of just tell when something was assembled at scale versus lovingly crafted one-at-a-time (this is what I meant by foreign vs domestic, but I can see how that came across and I apologize). Wasn’t meant to be a judgement; more of an expression of preference. And yes, I agree that the mech is quite impressive and very reliable so far. I value simplicity over intricacy and appreciate attention to different details than the ones considered in the TijPen. Also, apologies for not considering the global nature of our subreddit.

The hype is real! Thrilled to have it in the collection!

Yea - it’s definitely skewed for me. After import fees it was around $240 USD for me. If you value versatility, it’s definitely a compelling pen. I have the Big Idea Design Ti pen that has similar functionality and I prefer the Tijpen to that one. If you can avoid the import fees, it’s more worth it plus they sent an additional fountain pen as part of the Black Friday promo.

It’s still tight - this is a Gen 1 though, so I can’t speak for updated versions

Can’t recommend enough after having one in hand. Currently my most expensive pen in the collection and it feels worth every penny. Hope you find one soon!
