Mont Blanc Mozart Ball Point Pen Review

 

Hi all,

 

I got this pen for my sister’s birthday and since it is still setting on my desk I decided to do a little review on it.

The Mozart collection consists of the smallest pens in the Mont Blanc collections. These pens are often known as the pocket pen. They work well with small notebooks or organizers. Personally I prefer larger pen, such as the 146 or the 149, but this pen can be one of those “on the go” pen. I can carry this in the back of my jean pocket without worrying crushing the body.

 

Measurement:

 

Length: 10.6 cm (4.2 inches)

Girth: 1 cm (.5 inches)

 

Body:

 

It is made from black resin and has platinum trim. Even though the pen is small it is well made. In another word, this pen does not feel flimsy. It is a user pen not just for show.

 

Weight:

 

It is actually pretty heavy considering its small size. I think the weight is due to the metal rings inserted inside the barrel near the middle of the pen and the solid steel mechanism that holds the refill.

 

Conclusion:

MSRP: $350 ( the gold version is $335)

Will I ever buy this pen? Properly not, but it is not because it is not a well made but because I just don’t use ballpoint pen and it is too small for my taste.

I dont use a ball pen very often but I have the Le Grand version just in case its needed and found it to be an excellent writer.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

I've had one of the regular sized MB ballpoint pens for 22 years and have used it extensively during that period. Got it out again today and will use it once again for making lab notes instead of a fountain pen that tends to bleed through a bit on my lab notebook paper. Wonderful tool and a lifetime investment. For fun sometime, take the cap off and shine a really bright (Surefire type) flashlight up into the cap in a dark room if you want to see a pretty color. Mine is a deep glowing ruby red.

I have one of these little beauties. Although I generally don't use it much, I should. I find that even though it's small, it's well balanced and nice to write with. I am always fearful of losing it. And my God it's expensive. I would use it more if the ink flowed a little more smoothly and with greater volume. Having said that, these little gems are increasingly hard to find. Would I buy another one, no, but I don't need to. I have one. As I said, I should use it more. It's just a fun writing instrument with the Mont Blanc cachet.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
