Pelikan M605 - Blue & Silver

[mholve]

I have the same pen in an M405. Absolutely a fabulous. Looks good, and writes very well. The nib is gorgeous. Generous ink reservoir also. If you're on the fence about one of these - go for it. You won't be disappointed.

Isn't there anyone who lives in Germany who's willing to help us poor none-EU people get our hands on these pens at cost?

 

PLEASE???????

 

 

In case someone has missed this:

 

Cheers!

Wonderful review thank you Dandelion, your review pushed me over the edge.

Now a very happy owner of M605 bought from christian on FPN.

The more I use it the more I love it.

Hello Dandelion from a relative newcomer!

 

Your influence spreads far and wide, it appears. I have to confess to being another one seduced by your excellent review/photos/handwriting into buying an M605 (also from Christian). Strangely enough I had never really been a fan of blue pens before but the intensity of blue in this export model is something else.

 

I can endorse the previously expressed views about the nib which truly is a delight to use and, as many have remarked, has a stubbish quality. In the six weeks that I have owned mine it has been filled exclusively with J Herbin Lie de The. It is an ink that I like because of the antique appearance on the page and it works well with the M605.

 

Thanks for the inspiration.

Great review and I love it much,but can I ask what is the ink colors?

Thanks for the review, I've just ordered one, 130€, a real bargain in the bay.

I agree, an "M" nib is too wide for your hand.

 

I have the same problem with occluding my "e"s.

Great Review! For 99 Euros, it's a steal. I liked the color so much I ended up tracking down an M805, and they've been in my regular rotation ever since.

What a beautiful blue! M605 is really tempting. And the 14k nib is nice to add some flex!

With a custom B stub from Richard Binder, this is one of my favorite pens, and a pleasure to write with. I am glad to see that you are enjoying it too.

As always, a thorough review from you. I always love your photographs.

 

I've been recently surprised by medium nibs as well. The medium Pelikan nibs are indeed quite nice. I'm finding that I tend to prefer a larger nib on a fountain pen, which is unusual for me since I tend to gravitate toward extra fine with ballpoint or rollerball.
