But wait! If you order now, they will include a personalized feather duster and 3 Ginzu knives. Order before midnight and they double the offer - just pay seperate shipping and handling. Ink? If you order any three bottles of ink they will throw in an autographed album of Sweating to the Oldies and a Richard Simmons pair of stripped short shorts. When you charge that kind of money for a pen, you can offer a lot of premiums. /Craig

 

 

Wait I just called 01800montblancwithgreenstones and they told me that they have not anymore the Ginzu knives. They offer me a glove like M Jackson to write with the montblancgreencucumber pen!!!! Imagine that!!!!

Hmm, I bet it costs only about $100,000 USD to make.

 

Is the nib retractable? It looks like it's only partially uncovered in the photo.

 

After all it is a Montblanc! Isn't that worth womething?

The pen is mighter than the sword. Support Wikileaks!

And by the way, this looks even worse than the Montblanc - Van Cleef and Arpels US $1M pen that previously held the record.

The sword is mightier than the pen. However, swords are now obsolete whereas pens are not.

Nuts. I'd rather have about 100000 Pelikanos. :D

 

Which you could donate 99% of it to a school so kids will (for at least once) stop hammering the PC keyboard. ;)

Craig, umm, I dunno how to put it but -- of course in reminiscence to the present topic -- I find your new avatar absolutely stunning.

 

I'm flat busted.

Too bad I didn't see this earlier. Spent my spare change on a Bugatti yesterday. Oh, well.

 

 

That's just too much marketing for a vegetable. Maybe not... "Wow, check out that guy's cucumber! It's precious!" I suppose it would depend on whether I want to have a precious cucumber or not. Precious is special and fragile, right? For 1.5 million, it better be special - it better make me drinks. Fragile is out. While I don't beat up my fountain pens, any of them can take slight accidents. I have a roller ball pen that can shatter car windows, I can drive it through plywood and it sure didn't cost 1.5 million (though it did not come with any knives - drat).

Off to godaddy.com to see if I can get the domain name preciouscucumber.com so I can sell expensive vegetables with nibs.....

Hopefully the people now staring at me like I need a straight jacket aren't the same people that were here in the coffee shop when I read about CraigR's new tattoo otherwise I will be carted off to the Mental facility. Maybe if I act crazy enough they will by me a bedazzled cucumber pen to write with. I need to stop reading these forums in between classes, since I can't hold my laughter in on some of these posts. :lol:

OMG I need one of those too. :D

I laughed out loud like a maniac when I read this!

 

Thank goodness I'm not trying to prove something. Now, if it was in sapphire with black diamonds that were endowed with the enslaved souls of demons...then yeah, I'd see that as an awesome deal. It sure would make getting my thesis done a lot easier.

 

....DEMON! PROOF READ MY THESIS!

....DEMON! DO YOU THINK I SHOULD USE A CREAM OR A LIGHT BLUE BACKGROUND FOR THE PRESENTATION?

....DEMON! FETCH ME SOME WATER!

....DEMON! Uh, oh never mind. I forgot what I needed. BE OFF WITH YOU!

The first Mont Blanc fountain pen I've seen that I really wanted. I have just notified my daughter and son (and all the grandkids) that previous versions of my Christmas want list are invalid. If they really love me they will give me one of these for Christmas!! I will consider giving up my two Esterbrooks and my P51 if I find this in my stocking come Christmas morning!! ;^))

I actually have one that can do all of those things plus more. I'd be willing to part ways with it for... say 2 mil. USD? Got it for 2.5 mil. but it's in ruby and black diamonds and since you wanted sapphire...

Call me a skeptic, but I'll wait until after the first FPN review to make my decision.

 

Now if you want a real hoot, translate the page with Google language tools into English. Just don't drink anything while reading it. B)

I hereby announce that my good old Parker 75 sterling silver is for sale. It's price €3,000,000 making it probably the most expensive pen. And yes, it writes, very well as a matter of fact.

Google? They're amateurs. You really want to read the Babelfish version. Trust me.

If you're selling thesis-writing demon pens, I just might have to buy one. I'm not all that particular about the jewels involved. My Safari is making me do all the work - it absolutely refuses to write my thesis for me. Two million, you say? Ummm... will you take a check? I'm good for it, I promise. Just go ahead and send the pen first, please.

      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
