Customer Reviews
The wings flexes nicely, but after trying with 10 differents inks, even the more dry ones, papers (including paper 200 gr for watercolor "opalina", the ink leaks, the pen is way too wet. For intance even doing thin lines without spreading the wings of the nib, results in an almost medium line that spends 10 minutes to dry. When doing Copperplate... a nightmare. If it were possible for me I should retrieve the pen, but I cant as I asked a friend of mine that was travelling to USA just to bring me this pen. A month has passed. The worst purchased I did. Too munch expectations on this pen. I will have to save for a long time to purchase another 149 montblanc calligrapher for travel... This is was not disapointing. Was a DISASTER.
The flex in this nib is just magical. I love it beyond words
When you push a little the pen start to railroading!
Ok, I'm re-reviewing and adding a star. I put the pen away for a couple months, then decided to try and heat-set the feed before I resold it. I followed the general instructions from Brian and other YouTubers, soaked just the nib and feed in near-boiling water for about 30 seconds, and gave it a squeeze.When I dried it and re-inked, it was much better about the ink flow - I was able to back off the pressure and get a thinner line much more easily than before the heat setting. My handwriting is nowhere near as pleasant as Drew or Brian's, but I've included a small sample (Pilot Syo-Ru on Claire Fontaine 90g/m_). I'm happy with the pen now - not so much as my Pilot 823, but that's my gold standard (ha!)
I was very excited to get this pen in the mail. Since then, I've had nothing but problems with this pen. It won't write a whole sentence without hard starting. Sometimes it doesn't write at all. I would go with a different flex nib, until the company can make its quality assurance more reliable.
