How Gentle Do I Have To Be To A 144G

Recommended Posts

Just got a lovely 144G with long ink window and F nib. It had a new cork seal and filling wonderfully... any harm in using it as an EDC (no pocket only purse) and no direct sunlight?

Please put the pen in a case prior to placing it in your purse and be careful with an about other items in your purse so as to avoid damage. I couldn't do it as my daily carry bag includes in it a rather heavy and damaging leatherman tool, a tape measure and an aluminum bodied flashlight. I thus carry an aluminum Kaweco Allsport.

A dress bag with a few light items should be safe with the use of a good pen case.

I think it would be fine in a pen case inside your purse. And I don't see any harm in using it as an EDC pen, I use 136s, a 138 and a celluloid 139 all the time as my EDC pens with no harm. It your pen, so you should use it how you want and enjoy it.

My 144g isn't a daily carry, at the moment - but it was for years (just clipped into my pocket). No special treatment was needed. It's a robust, well made pen and was built to be a user.

 

I should add that none of my pens are mint collector's items, so I didn't mind the fine scratches etc that everyday use will usually incur.

 

And congratulations - this series of pens is (imho) among the best that Montblanc ever made.

      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
