Why should I back this project?
-
Premium Titanium Craftsmanship
The LuminOrb pen is crafted from Grade 5 titanium, known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight feel. This makes it incredibly durable and perfect for long-term use. -
Glow-in-the-Dark Functionality
One of the most eye-catching features is its built-in glow. Using Tritium and Luminorb technology, the pen emits a soft glow that not only looks cool but makes it easy to locate in low-light conditions—ideal for night-time writing, outdoor use, or emergency scenarios. -
Minimalist Aesthetic with Utility

A Trusted Brand
Titaner is no stranger to the EDC world. With several successful Kickstarter campaigns behind them, they’ve built a reputation for delivering high-quality products that match or exceed backer expectations.

Although it supports standard formats like Parker and G2, some users may find it inconvenient to locate the preferred refills, especially if they’re used to off-the-shelf pens. -
Glow Element Limitations
The glow elements are visually impressive, but their utility is limited to niche scenarios. For some, this might feel more aesthetic than functional.
