The latest is a LeGrand rollerball with the new fineliner refill. I never liked the rollerball refill in any pen, but really like the MB fineliner.

Found this at my local boutique. One of my fav Blues.

Which boutique do you go to? Nice find!

Congratulations! This is the very thing I'm looking to do next now that I found out LeGrand fineliner refills are available. I am really yearning for that Ultra Black and think the LeGrand rollerball would be the perfect model to get as I have enough ballpoints. I love the Classique fineliner refills so much but never get to use that pen because it's just too small (and ironically my most expensive pen!).

 

How do you like the refills so far?

I keep thinking about selling some of my pens but all that happens is I keep acquiring more!

Concerning my recent purchase, the Maretele..

 

Well.. This happened! I am experiencing a WTH moment upon first flushing :crybaby:

OH NO, Pravda! This is so unfortunate. I am sure this will get resolved for you based on the experiences that you have had before with your Montblanc boutique staff. I am really hoping that this brand innovation Montblanc is experiencing is translating to their quality standards and procedures, even if only slowly. Please keep us posted about the status.

Thanks! I am hopeful it will get sorted soon. The problem is that the pen is so new it is not on their system yet, to get advice on repair procedures or spare parts. A request has been made, so we wait

Montblanc M Rollerball/Artfineliner. First impressions after only one day of use: pleasant to hold, excellent weight / balance, love the design. However, I'm quite disappointed with the refills: the Capless MB refill writes too thick for my taste and skips on cheap paper; the Schmidt capless Fine point works correctly, but has also some "skipping problems". The Artfineliner writes smoothly, but the line is (obviously) extremely thin.

Thanks. They showed me a Joseph II 888 pen and I am not sure what to do about that :(

When I'm not sure I tend to do nothing. Eventually something 'I have got to have' comes along the way

      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
