We have just received word that this years Pelikan maki-e fountain pen will be released in June.

The Maki-e Peacock Limited Edition is, judging by the pictures, a beautiful pen with a hefty price tag.

 

Here is a picture of this beauty:

Man, I feel like the purpose of that horrible silver with diamonds M1000 was just to make this one fly off the shelves. Looks pretty awesome, if only I had the $3k for a pen.

What a beauty. Elusive, unobtainable, the stuff that dreams are made of.

Tastes differ. The design looks like a cheap Chinese pen to me.

While the pen doesn't look to me like a "cheap" pen, I don't find the Pelikan M model particularly well suited to Maki-e. There is too much distraction from all the trim. I prefer a more subtle canvas for an ornate Maki-e application. I guess it is just as well as at this point, I don't plan to spend that kind of money for a pen. But, each to their own; I doubt they will have any trouble selling them.

May we live, not by our fears but by our hopes; not by our words but by our deeds; not by our disappointments but by our dreams.

Not my cup of tea. I, unfortunately, do not find Maki-e enthralling.

 

It is the same pen with an expensive embellishment, which is fine if the objective is to display it as a work of art. Another one is the Dragonfly.

 

I have not yet warmed to the idea of using a pen as a canvas, perhaps a mental block.

While I love Pelikans, I don’t like this at all, and my wallet is extremely grateful.

      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
