And yet another featured on Bulgarian TV (Why do I find myself humming the song from the Tinman in Oz "If I Only Had A Brain"?:

Whoa.

I agree though, this seems a natural yin-yang partner to the Chaos. If you already have one, you may want the other!

And if you're a Supernatural (TV) Fan, you know the Angel version isn't that much better. :P

That aspect of the show is pretty accurate - other bits not so.

Could be worse, they could come out with a paranormal line, and introduce something like "The Big Foot"

I could not stop :lticaptd: :lticaptd: :yikes: :yikes: :eureka: :eureka: .... excellent read for breakfast.....thanks for making my day.

wow ... I really love Montegrappa pens but ....

 

... these videos are of such poor quality and make no sense at all !

 

 

My best guess would be that these videos are NOT from Montegrappa but someone else, that desperately tries to kill the brand, published them ...

I hope this is the case. It would be the only logical explanation.

 

Oh dear, the Bulgarian ad is even worse than the others...

Yep. :D (I wonder if they have two completely different design department, one for people made of money and one for people who actually plan to use the damned things).

Is it bad that all I can think of is Dust Traps when I see this?

Tooth brush will work. And you can also buy the cheaper NeroUno standard. But visually I like the Linea (the original, not the RoseGold)

Thanks for posting the link. That's as close as us mere mortals will get to that item. Beautiful!

I'm wondering if it wasn't preferable to leave Montegrappa under MontBlanc. At least they would have enjoyed a sounder marketing policy and possibly a bit more guidance. It looks like a schizophrenic company by now...

Weed is not what these people are smoking. Take your pick of any household chemical and you might get this pen as a result...

While you might not like the pens, if you stopped and looked at the workmanship and craftsmanship you would likely agree that it is superb.

 

Not all tastes are the same. Bubba Watson was wearing a watch at the masters that I would not wear even if it were free and I was at a convention of blind folk but it sells for a very high sum. I will acknowledge that the technology of the watch is amazing but it is still butt ugly.

 

Few companies do better engraving and casting in precious metals with greater detail than Montegrappa and while you might not like some of their efforts it is hard to deny the quality.

      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
