Montegrappa Parola Stealth, My First Quality Ballpoint


SimOSX

Recommended Posts

This is my first quality ballpoint, I choose it for daily use at work, I don't need a fountain pen and I prefer ballpoint over roller pen because I prefer to feel some feedback on the paper. I also need a workhorse pen that can write on every type of paper and position. I choose a stealth total black look so it will not look like an expensive or luxury pen.

It comes with black refill but I ordered some blue in M size, next time I will order B size.

I love it!

 

My first choice was the Visconti Homo Sapiens Dark Age but it was out of stock and I waited too much time, so my interest faded out 'cause I'm thinking that's too expensive for me, maybe in the future...

Nice pen, congratulation! Can you take some pictures along with some other pens, just to see the size? Also maybe a small review will be useful. The pen use twist to action/retract?

 

For a good quality ballpoint pens, I have in my collection 4 Aurora Ipsilon, a Porsche Design P3110 Tecflex gold and steel, Karas Kustoms Retarkt, Bolt and EDK. Also on the way to me: Inoxcrom Corinthian Azul.

From Montegrappa I like Nero Uno ballpoint, but I don't like the price!

I like the weight of the pen, 40 gr that makes it feeling solid. Total lenght is about 145 mm, like a BIC without cap.

Twist action is good using only one hand too.

Montegrappa refill are very good, but I dont know if they are just a rebranded schmid refill.

      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
