Mont Blanc Alfred Hitchcock Limited Edition

What Nakaya do you own? I am seriously thinking of getting the Decapod, or the twist version of it.

 

 

Decapod Sumi Lovely pen. Here is my review.

1906/3000 here! I've had this pen for six months now. It took me two months to ink it, it was an unexpected present. The cost blew my mind.

 

I used to believe that above a few hundred dollars, you were only paying for bling, but using this pen is an amazing experience.

 

The pen is heavy. I was not used to writing unposted. The reality is that this pen fits in my hand so well it becomes alive. The weight is not tiring, writing feels effortless.

 

 

 

I did use this pen for five days at the office, writing 12+ hours/day. If the pen weren't so expensive, I would take it to the office every day. It becomes part of my hand, but that could be dangerous, especially as I wind up walking around with the pen in my hand. I have had a kid knock a special pen out of my hand, and it took surgery by Mike-it-Work to save the pen.

 

So the Hitchcock lives on my desk at home. Usually with Mystery Blue, but tonight with Kon-Peki, on a Black and Red legal pad. (The piston is amazingly efficient and easy-flushing no problem, not like some other pens where it can be pretty frustrating)

 

It is a very smooth, I do think about what this would be like as a Minuskin 1 mm stub.

I have yet to ink mine. Really considering it, which ink is your preference?

This was written 10 years ago but as I was curious to see some Hitchcock reviews I looked it up. 
I have so many pens and like many collectors after a while it’s time to keep a few favorites.

Your review was dead on as I really see this pen as a masterpiece to use, and I have used all my pens over time, but this one always returns as my favorite in all respects you describe. Shape, weight, size, feel, amazing nib.

Actually all these attributes are not that obvious for Mont Blanc, but they did hit the jackpot on this one.

Thanks.
