Review: Porsche Design "TecFlex" (P'3110)

Actually, it is a wonderful material - the weaved surface.

I can only imagine how well it will put up against scratches.

I've had this pen over 11 years! I love it and just got another compliment on it today. It's in great shape still.

Was wondering how it compares in size to a Lamy 2000. Feel sure that it weighs more. Looking for a larger weighter pen than the lamy 2000. I like the fact that it seems tough and durable.

It weighs about the same as a Lamy 2000M, but it's longer. I can post the cap on my Lamy 2000M, but not on my P3110.. it becomes too unwieldy. That said, it would probably weigh a little over twice as much as a Lamy 2000 Makrolon.

 

The writing feel is very similar. The P3110 is smoother, while the Lamy is a bit wetter. Both are stiff nibs. One thing I like about the P3110 is that I can easily check the ink level by unscrewing the grip and nib section and checking the converter. Not possible on the 2000M, though the 2000 has an ink window. I think the Lamy has a larger ink capacity though.

 

I like that the Lamy is not a screw top, but the P3110 cap releases in a single turn, so it's not terribly inconvenient.

      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
