Pelikan M805 Blue & Black With Rhodium In Ib Nib


Sketch and Doodle

Recommended Posts

I had contemplated between Pelikan M805 3B, and Visconti with Palladium Stub.

I really couldn't decide which one for me.

 

I like Pelikan's light body, nib, and piston. I can live with the conservative classic design, so I want Rhodium finish for modern look.

 

I like Visconti's material but looks a bit fancy and hefty. Like the look of nib, and power filler.

 

 

I think this is the pen I've been looking for. I like the smoothness and non skipping of the nib and like the line variations especially the upstrokes. It seem like it wrote in very light touch and the line could give more variation when pressed heavy.

This video speaks better than a thousand words.

 

 

 

Anybody owns one and would like to share opinion before I place the order?

 

Thank you in advance!

It's a very nice pen indeed : the IB nib is tremendous, very smooth and wet on the paper.

I do not use it everday, as it's really a nib made for calligraphy, but I do like to write down some words "for fun", pretending to be a calligrapher ...

I took the plunge and paid for the pen and it'll be here in two weeks. I hope it'll write as good as in the video.

      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..

      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
