GTOZack Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 i note take and write alot everyday, i use extrafine, the EF actually has subtle arabic/hebrew bevel ( axe shaped) and the F has regular conventional ball tip if you understand what i mean i actaully tried a BB at the boutique i found it too ghastly and thick for me for everyday note taking however for signing off documents. Its an excellent tip. so either. pick EF or fattest one u want, not in the middle 'The Yo-Yo maneuver is very difficult to explain. It was first perfected by the well-known Chinese fighter pilot Yo-Yo Noritake. He also found it difficult to explain, being quite devoid of English.So we left it at that. He showed us the maneuver after a sort. B*****d stole my kill.' -Squadron Leader K. G. Holland, RAF. WWII China. Link to post Share on other sites

The tines of the EF nib have to be perfectly aligned to avoid skipping and/or scratchiness.

yamaha_no_46 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I owned a 144 and a 145 before and recently purchased a 146. It is a gorgeous pen. It is comfortable both capped and uncapped, but I found it more relaxing with the cap on. Link to post Share on other sites
dcohenafp Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 What nib choice? <p>New FP Enthusiast. MB 146M, Pelikan M605F, Lamy 2000M, Lamy VistaF, TWISBIM Link to post Share on other sites
Bananabender Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 It is really up to you. Fwiw I have three montblancs although none are 146 . ef,om and b. All are as smooth as silk .Personally I find the ef the smoothest and best to take notes. I have a light hand when writing. Link to post Share on other sites
dcohenafp Posted March 25, 2014 Author Share Posted March 25, 2014 I went to a boutique to try out the nibs. I tried the EF, F, & M. They all write great and very smooth. On a check signature on Che,k paper, I found the EF and the F very thin on the fast curls of a signature. The medium was perfect. But on certain papers the medium was very wide. The salesperson said the F maybe was abused and should be good on a new one. Should I get the F or the M? <p>New FP Enthusiast.
