Monteverde Invincia Rose Gold Review

Recommended Posts

Received my Monteverde pen today, thought I might share some pics and write down my thoughts about this pen

 

The pen does not feel cheap in hand, the threads are well done, it is glossy, slightly heavy, feels very sturdy.

The pen has a bit of hard starting issues, but once you get it going, it writes well.

 

You can pull the entire nib/feed out and adjust and play with the nib (or replace it, although I don't know if this one is a #6 nib)

 

I LIKE this pen, due to its sturdy factor, this will probably be in my pocket or in my backpack.

 

If you have any question about the pen, feel free to ask.

I got one of these recently with chrome details and a fine nib. I was considering the rose gold, but thought it looked a bit ostentatious (and I don't really do gold).

 

I'd add a couple more underlines to "nail" - it's smooth, but has absolutely no give at all.

 

I love the way it looks (the carbon fibre does it for the car nut in me), but I haven't found it particularly comfortable for long periods of writing.

I bought this pen a while back from Pendleton Brown, with the nib done in a nice butter-smooth italic. It's probably my smoothest nib, though as noted above, it is definitely a nail. I love the look of the pen, and since I like weightier pens, that doesn't bother me. Plus it has a nice long, smooth section for holding. I keep it inked almost exclusively with PR tanzanite, and it looks brilliant!

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
