Bespoke Mb Nibs

[Tom Kellie]

Tom, a picture is worth a thousand words. You have three e-mails. Enjoy!

 

 

You're welcome, Tom. We both are enthusiasts, aren't we? :-))))

I completely agree with you.

Seeing screenshots of the Montblanc Bespoke Signature Nib in action is very impressive.

Thank you for posting the YouTube link in this thread, as further visual evidence of the craftsmanship of Montblanc Bespoke Nibs.

I'm a writing enthusiast who admires nibs which consistently produce attractive strokes.

Thank you for kind words, Tom. Surely a bespoke nib is a big challenge and a great experience as well. Maybe sometimes, some day...

If you are interested here is a report on ordering a custom nib: http://www.lieblingsstil.com/en/blog/2016/11/22/14930/.

 

As to the MB nibs generally (except of LE's), I could say they are now better than in 2004 when I bought my first 149 - M, and F bought next year and changed for EF subsequently. During the constant use (with "gnashing of teeth") they gradually stoped to skip, became very smooth and excellent nibs. It appears the best nibmeister is time.

~ In Autumn, 2022 there may be a shift in how Montblanc's Bespoke Nib Program is conducted.

 

Montblanc boutiques will be supplied with reconfigured boxes of test pens which will likely include a range of Bespoke nibs not presently offered.

 

The change will allow customers to test less commonly seen nib variations which might then be ordered through the Bespoke Nib Program.

 

Yours truly is considering one such variation, although I don't live in a community with a Montblanc boutique.
