thank you for sharing. i would never have known that the pen also comes with ink that is NOT a standard ink. but judging from the color comparison, i'd still prefer the look of toffee and the 2005/2006 season'e greeting inks. i love dark brown inks.

Mike,

 

Sorry I forgot to add the pictures with the writing samples toy our ink review. I simply forgot to do it. Here are writing samples done with the Montblanc 149. I used these pictures for the Three Oversize Vintage Pens With Flex Nibs thread here in FPN. The nib in this Montblanc is a fairly wet writer. I am sure that a normal or dry nib will display different results for this great ink.

 

Writing at less than my normal writing speed with no pressure applied

And now, multiple pictures while flexying the nib

I will try to add the writing samples with the Waterman 5 red ripple and Pink nib in a separate post.

 

that is a very nice brown ink thumbup.gif. and great penmanship too.

The pen doesn't "come" with ink. The ink is sold during the time of the pen.

Exactly. A new pen of that sort and "its" corresponding ink are usually issued at the same time. More often than not, the pen first, then the ink a week or two later. The bummer is, that most (if not all) MB boutiques won't sell you a bottle without the pen until about 3 months later. Allegedly so that those who buy the pen get the first chance to buy the ink too. Disclaimer No. 1: Some boutiques occasionally give you the bottle free if you buy that pen (which can run up to about $1K anyway. DIsclaimer No. 2: You can also sometimes buy the ink without the pen at a different, i.e. non-boutique store

      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
