The Good Old - M400 Vs M600

Recommended Posts

Due to the absence of the metal piston housing of the M800 and M1000 most other Pelikans do not have the same heft as these two.

 

The only one that stands out is the M215. Perhaps using a M400 gold nib in a M215 would do the thing? I have done this for quite some time in the past.

i own both M400 and M600s,both are great pens, roll with what you feel comfortable with.

Any other recommendations for smaller Pelikans with a bit of weight to them?

The M215 is really your best bet there. The rest of the smaller offerings are going to be fairly light weight.

Agree, M215 + Gold nib would be a good idea..

I have one and it's the 2nd FP I've ever bought for myself.. Heavier than an M600 but with the same size and performance as an M400

And if you go the M215 + gold nib route, I just got a M405 nib from Niche Pens in the UK for about $76 US shipped. That's the lowest price I've found anywhere.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
