A fountain pen to me brings joy in writing. Writing with a fountain pen is something special. The way the tib glides over the paper turning ink into words

It’s just nice.
I made it a habit to give people, staff clients etc a hand written note when it’s their birthday or something like that. It’s so much more personal then dropping a WhatsApp with an emicon.
The receiver typically takes pleasure in the fact that you’ve done something extra. And I take pleasure in their smiles.
That’s what writing with a fountain pen is (to me that is haha )

Pros and cons of Mont Blanc fountain pens.
By: Thomas_3 : March 14th, 2022-15:19
I have several Mont Blanc pens, aware of the price. What are the pros and cons of the fountain pens? I want to get a Meisterstuck, the price is holding me back however.. At a past job our receptionist came in one day with a bag of pens and went to each of...
Good and solid choice

The Meisterstück fountain pen is a true classical piece of handwriting hardware. Nothing to say against it. I personally prefer the medium one with a F or M gold nib. The B is writing too broad. Combine it with one of Montblanc‘s own inks. Enjoy! ;-)
No fountain pen nostalgy

I have no nostalgy with fountain pens at all. Balpoint is ok. I am also shocked about the high prices of Montblanc pens. And like you it holding me back. My Parker is a lot affordable. ...

The artisan pieces are usually great in value increase and fun to use (like PP, Rolex etc) Con: hard to get an allocation and costly (now >40,000 USD) ...

Am no expert, yet do enjoy them.

With the Pelikan Concerto I like the stock M nib. If you can, try a few different nibs to see what you prefer both in feel and style. The same with inks, and here is where a good fountain pen sets itself apart too. Then comes paper choice... For special m...
I have the same habit, Jurry.

Its something special these days and its clear that people enjoy it. I also sit down and write a letter to my wife and children on their birthday. Reflecting over the year that has passed. Always written with a fountain pen and a nice ink.

I really appreciate Montblanc pens…
By: orahu : March 14th, 2022-23:33
I find them to be highly dependable and well-crafted with exceptional nibs. I have about 20 MB pens ranging from Bohemes to the 149; from Wrtiter’s Editions to Patron of the Arts models. Most of them are inked and in my regular rotation. That being said, ...
I like the Meisterstück series.
By: Uncle Chico : March 14th, 2022-23:59
How it felt in my hand and the width of the nib were the two relevant criteria. The Diplomat was too bulky for me. I sold my Cartier Pasha after having it repaired because it leaked and the nib was too narrow. ...
A solid choice.
By: bchankai : March 15th, 2022-06:03
I think the strength of the MontBlanc meisterstuck is its reliability and ability to hold value. Consistent styling is also a point to be appreciated. Arguments against it would be ubiquity and instant recognition (which is good and bad). The out-of-the-b...
