I have one since they first came out. I have used it quite a bit. Right now I have to WE's out and inked and 2 other MB's. I really like the MB brand and how well they write. The 1912 may come back out of its box, but right now its packed away.

Ok. So I do not own one, but after reading this thread I'm now seriously thinking about grabbing one. If I do, what nib size would everyone recommend?

What's your favourite nib size?

That's a tough question. I like Delta stubs and MB BBB for letter writing and correspondence to clients, although I usually use an MB medium/TWSBI broad for daily writing and notes. I also use Visconti fines. My concern is ink capacity as I've read the 1912 has the bladder of a gnat.

It isn't the biggest, but my fine nib lasts OK. A BB may be different.

Its piston chamber has about half the capacity of a 146 or 149.

Thanks! This puts it in a perspective I can relate to.

I have one too and it's my only MB fountain pen. I use it on rotation with my 161 ballpoint and I've seemed to neglect my Lamy 2000 family now.

 

It's a truly awesome pen and no regrets getting the 1912, though I've no interest in the capless rollerball version.

I write moderately at work and my F nib needs refilling once per week with daily usage from Mondays to Fridays.

Wow. That's now bad at all. I don't mind having to refill once a week. I was afraid that the capacity was so small I would have to refill daily with normal office use. Sounds like this isn't the case at all. Even more helpful information. Thanks everyone for your input.

Same here.

The Heritage 1912 I'm using is good to the last drop of ink. It doesn't give me a warning when it's running low. I use mine every day and refill it on Sunday nights. :)

I haven't run out of fuel yet.

I have a 1912 with a B nib, custom ground by Pendleton Brown. It runs out of ink after 10~15 pages, but the feeling of the nib is unlike any other pen I own.

Interesting - I inked mine (stock M nib) for the first time in a while on Sunday and it ran out of ink today. I reckon I have only written 10 pages. Still a great nib though!

It's not as small as you thought it would be, still acceptable. The larger the nib size, the more frequent you have to refill.

I refill mine every Friday. The only indication is running low in juice is that the ink becomes.more faint and the lines get thinner.

My fine (re-ground to a fine cursive) only has a subtle change as it begins to run dry. The feedback changes a little and the line is very slightlybless juicy. But the line is almost identical.

This thread reminded me how I really like the nib when I tried it last year at an MB boutique. I found a good price for a new one and bought my first broad nib pen.

I should start blocking this forum before it convinces me to get the new WE.

      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
