Hi From Amsterdam

[stuyvesant]

Hello,

 

My name is Marijn, and i live in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. Because i started to write a lot, i decided to treat myself to a new fountain pen. I already had two Parker sonnets Cisele Fountain Pens and one Cisele Ballpoint. When i started looking around, i couldn’t stop surfing the net. I finally bought a Pelikan M800 Renaissance, but I am afraid i am hooked now. I am already looking for another pen. I am also discovering that there are differences in paper and ink, and that a lot of people have their nibs adjusted. I have got a lot to learn, which i hope to do on this forum.

 

I tried to post a picture, but i must figure out how to do that.

Greetings and welcome to FPN. Good collection of pens you have there. I myself have two Ciselé among almost three dozens of my Sonnets.

 

Also the Pelikan M800 is a handsome pen. Enjoy writing with your pens and acquiring more and more.

Welcome, Marijn !

 

The Pelikan M800 is a large pen, with above average weight. Do you like it ? Are there any qualities that you do not like about it ?

I like the pen. I had to get used to the large size, but once i did, i was very happy. There is nothing i don't like about it really.
