236 Has Arrived!

[Raif79]

I now have one of my 3 grail pens! I opened up the package today and got it out. Inside was a 236 in incredible condition. Unlike so many times when Ive imagined a pen and then been slightly underwhelmed, the 236 is everything I had imagined it would be. There is heft to this pen. It is everything I ever wanted in my 234 1/2s but bigger. It has a gold number 6 nib that I rarely see (with 14 Karat as the top banner instead of Montblanc, and the 6 in the snow cap underneath). Pictures will be forthcoming. The blind cap is marked fine and the nib is most certainly a fine too. Im drooling and hope you all will be too after I post pics. Happy day!

I have a 234 1/2, so it's nice to know they made that in medium-large 'also'.

I really like my semi-flex 234 1/2 KOB.....sigh....and now find out it's got a bigger brother.

Semi-flex or maxi-semi-flex nib?

Thats exactly how I felt when I first learned about the 236. I love my 234 1/2s but always wished there was a bigger version. Well there was! Theres so little info posted about the 236 compared to most others. I think youll love it once I get to work and get pics uploaded.

Lovely pen. Congratulations!

[CS388]

Excellent! Congratulations.

 

I'd classify this as a rare pen, it must have taken some finding!

 

Enjoy.

[farmdogfan]

It certainly looks good, and a nice size too.

Love it! Congrats!

fantastic pen. love the shape too. One of the best Montblanc designs in my opinion with the meisterstuck series

[mallymal1]

Great pen. Congratulations.

Nice pen. Does it also have a bouncy nib?

Congrats on finding such a nice example of the 236. It took me two years to find mine and I love the nib. Like you I love the 234 1/2. I collect all of the different variations.

It has a little flex but not too much. It's better than any of the nibs on my modern Montblanc's. My 234 1/2's nibs have the slight edge on flex. This nib looks and feels more like an extra-fine. It took me the better part of a full page in my journal to find the sweet spot. What more can I say? This 236 is great. The weight is fantastic and the amount of ink it holds is enormous. I was turning the piston knob for what felt like forever.

Very Cool. Very cool indeed.

I agree it's a very cool pen. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I bought one in 2007, the owner had bought it in Hannover in 1947 at a Trade Fair, the pen was a complete mess and the only salvagable part was the cap, mine went to Francis who did an astonishingly good job.
