That's a beautiful nib and a great story. I hope you get many, many years of pleasure out of what is truly a one-of-a-kind creation.

I'm so pleased that you liked it.

While it has a fairly specialized function, it does what it does with elegance and style.

I'm so impressed that despite its narrow width there's no sense of scratchiness.

Thank you for your kind comment.

There's nothing that I would alter in this review.

The Bespoke EEF has performed flawlessly in every situation.

It's been to Africa several times on safari, recording notes about a leopard mother with cubs sighting in a notebook.

The smoothness of the nib is extraordinary, in that there's no scratchiness whatsoever.

The pen writes immediately upon use, even after sitting unused for a spell.

Ink flow is steady and more than adequate.

It's easily the finest writing tool I've ever used.

Hi Tom,

 

I just found this topic in the forum, and I loved it, the same as the OBBB one, it is a great story you've shared with us, thank you for that.

 

I started on fountain pens with the tendency of using Fines and Extra Fines, because those suited me better at that time, now I'm starting to like the broader nibs, but as you mentioned, I enjoy writing with my Extra Fines, Mediums, and now... broader ones.

 

I'm still having troubles to post photos, but I'll work on that to share handwritten messages.

 

Take care, cheers to all fellow pen friends.

Hello there!

 

I think I just found out how to attach photos, now I present to you my latest purchases, The awesome Writer's Edition 2017: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry in BB and the classic beauty 149 90th anniversary in OBB... and a little writing sample:

Thank you for the excellent nib photos!

They're clear, showing fine details.

Not only that, but also a handwriting sample!

Your posts above brighten my evening.

I'm delighted that these pens will now provide quality writing for you.

Your posts illustrate the satisfaction of obtaining pens with nibs which suit one's individual writing style.

~ I've learned what Montblanc's Bespoke Nib Program is capable of doing.



Fresh information suggests that the Hamburg Nib Manufacture Team are wizards.



Were a customer to have a one-of-a-kind nib in mind, they're fully open to developing it.



That's food-for-thought. My Bespoke experience was an absolute pleasure from start to finish.



What was good once might well be just as good again!



We'll see...

I enjoy reading this outstanding review at least every twice a year... a mandatory reading for all those who love EF nibs. :)

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
