If you are referring to the Starwalker midnight black metal, I believe they have been discontinued.

 

Over the summer I was at the Fountain Pen Hospital and the salesman mentioned they had not received any in a long time and that no one was buying the stock that they did have. So they believed they were discontinued, as there appeared to be no demand. You can try calling them they might have some left.

 

You can also try executive essentials, though I have no experience with them but was able to find this on their website:

There might also be some Montblanc boutiques that still have some stock.

 

If you are looking for one I hope you are able to find it.

Are you referring to the "StarWalker Midnight Black Fountain Pen"? I see that it is on their site in the store, but "...not currently available online." I was not sure if this was the same as the "black metal," since the body is resin, but the trim is ruthenium. I definitely hope that this is not the discontinued one...had planned on buying this in a couple of months! https://www.montblanc.com/en-us/shop/writing-instruments/starwalker/midnight-black/midnight-black-resin-fountain-pen-105655.aspx

 

Edit: Looking at this again, I see that there is the Midnight Black Metal (with "Ruthenium-plated matte surface with circular, diamond-cut guilloche pattern") and the Midnight Black (with the precious resin surface). You are right - I do not see the Midnight Black Metal for sale, either.

Yes. Thank you for the information and the advice (I will buy one, but not now). It's a pity, in my opinion it is a fantastic model (I have the Black Resin model, both BP e RB). Same for the Cool Blue, which was also a great model, much more beautiful than the Rose Gold version. But of course, it's just a matter of taste.

The midnight Starwalker is still listed. The OP's link was for Meisterstucks.

The midnight Starwalker is still listed.

Not the "Black Metal" Version.

 

That one is missing:

Oh right. I didn't see that one and didn't know it was missing from the 28 Starwalkers listed on the web-site.

 

It's a nice looking pen

It's my favourite starwalker. I like its rough texture -- a very ergonomic pen that doesn't slip in my hand.

I saw one at www.stylo.ca

I have the Cool Blue and I think it's a beautiful looking pen as well as a pleasure to use.
