Is anyone using the Montblanc M Artfineline pen? Is the Artfineliner refill too fine for daily note taking? Thank you.

I tried it a couple of times and yes, for me it was too fine and quite dry.

I use it regularly, but I have always been drawn to a finer than average pen. I would say it is somewhere between a 0.25 and 0.35 drawing pen, but less critical of pen orientaion. The nib isn't particularly delicate, but I have had people break it if they borrow it expecting a ball point.

 

I would say it is the finest, in both senses of the word, fineliner I have come across. The only thing better for my technical notes I have found is a Sailor EF fountain pen, which is more like a MB EEF or finer.

I've flushed all my EF and F pens and have the following inked

 

Homer (OBB) with Montblanc Turquoise

149 (BB) with Kon-Peki - This writes much wider than my other BBs

Homer is such a nice pen.

Agreed. It's been in my rotation since I bought it. Currently inked with Racing Green.

 

Also have a Exupery BB inked with the special edition ink.

Homer is such a nice pen.

This thread is moving a little slowly, so here's today's pen... with the rest of the set too. It is an EF nib but Kon-Peki is a little wet and it writes wider than that. Will try a drier ink in it next.

That is a beautiful set! Kon-peki matches the pen really well,

I am letting my other fountain pens rest as I have been using the 149 Platinum Trim in Broad, inked with Kon-Peki.

 

It’s been serving me well as I travel around Japan, and is a great alternative as I await my 149 Yellow Gold in Medium to return from MB Service.

I have not actually inked them yet, but these bad boys - a 139, a 138 and an early 149 - arrived back today with fresh corks and will be put into circulation over the next few days.

      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
