Nothing.

Is that really a reddish tortoise, or are you talking about a red striped 800?

I do know they had red stripped 400, perhaps a 600.

If it’s very new and not yet released, still covered by an NDA, people can’t discuss it here by the rules.

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

I remember reading somewhere that Pelikan said there won't be a special edition M800 this year...but TBH it might've been just a random comment somewhere and not even something official :lol:

 

If they do release one I'm really curios now that I've seen this thread's title :o

According to the Nibsmith Pelikan will be coming out with a 600 series in Red Tortoiseshell. 

 

Indeed they are; mine is pre-ordered from Cult Pens.  I'd love to see it in the M800 size too.

A member here penenabled  me to pre-order the red tortoise. I as done buying fountain pens 😂😂. I jumped on the Black Friday sale. and got a cursive italic grind on it for about $340? Hope its great. This will be my first cursive italic nib. I own italics (factory), but these are more like stubs.

Sounds lovely... I'm a great fan of stubs and italics too.  I recently bought an M805 blue stripe from a member who had had the the factory M nib ground to stub by the Pelikan dealer. Very nice.

Script with these nibs has so much more character.

      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
