I have one, and I really like it. However, I wish I had purchased one with a fine point instead of medium. The medium leaves to wide and wet a trail. I may need to send this one to Richard for some work.

I like F nibs too but since htese pens will not get too much use anyways then I will leave it as is.

Both my MB VW and Cervantes have a M nib simply because FPH didnt have a F nib in stock anymore.

My MB Cervantes was a balky medium nib. Greg Minuskin reground it to a medium-fine stub. It is now my favorite pen. If your not happy with the nib have it reground.

I would never have the heart to touch this nib.Pens like this one are too close to my heart to make any changes.

Nice review of a fantastic pen. That pen is one of its kind and being a montblanc birngs a lot of meaning to it. The nib performance, overall pen quality and design is superb. Congratulations on your new pen! Enjoy it!

Fountain Pen is for people who have a delicate taste in writing

Thanks for the review. I saw this pen in a shop window today, beautiful pen. Is the nib similar to the 146 in size?

Yes its close in size.

      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
