The Montegrappa Blazer is a new member of the Fortuna family. A steel pen, treated with fire, to give it a unique and colorful look.
We enjoy it and recorded a short video.

Thank you for introducing this pen to me; I had seen it mentioned previously from some US Sellers but none had made it "come to life," as you have. I heartily appreciate the treatment Montegrappa had bestowed on this pen & appreciate your mentioning it's first use by Kaweco, in their Liliput model.

 

I have followed the popularity of the "fire treated" Lilput pen & recently decided to order one in copper instead of the fire treated finish. I have a soft spot for the Kaweco Sports & decided I had waited long enough for them to offer a copper version, so best to see it in the Liliput size. I think the size of this Montegrappa pen would easily show the finish of the fire treatment, since I have the copper Liliput to compare.

 

I think you have shown us a very handsome pen & I appreciate the opportunity to see it "in your hand."

Thank you. The Liliput Copper is a wonderful pen, the extra weight is very welcome to in a pen that size.

Thanks for putting up the video, it is really nice and I like the size of the Fortuna and it makes the fire treatment really stand out. I'm just not sure if its worth the high price tag for a steel nib.

      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
