I like the look of the pen but would rather have it in an 800 size.

Yep, totally agree.

My hands are too big for the M600, fortunately there have been some great M800s over the last couple years so I shouldn’t complain.

Yeah, that's true. I'm waiting for the next m800 release though, because when those LEs are sold out, prices just skyrocket.

I usually don't buy M600's. But, Red + Tortoise is just impossible to resist.

I have two on pre-order, one for me and one for my wife.

Rumor has it one is coming out this month?

Two is one and one is none 😁

I’m a bit conflicted about this pen. Already own and frequently use a red tortoiseshell M101N, and this M600 would be too much of the same.  I love the M101N series.

I have this pen in pre-order too, and the reason to get it is exactly that it's a M600!

There are so many M800s to choose from, but M600s are more rare, especially in a special edition that is not just another one of the striped series.

Besides, my mid sized hands go really well with the M600. So, yes, I had to have this one.

Yeah, my parents were HIGHLY disappointed when they went on a trip to Scotland and Nessie didn't make an appearance. :rolleyes:

Actually I was sort of under the assumption that both those pens were part of Sailors "Fairy Tale" series -- or is that the Pro Gear Slim I'm thinking of?

I was joking that the pen was a hoax, too. 😉

I don’t know, but this looks to be more red and much less cream than the M101N? But I think they’re both beautiful, and the M600 is such a different style from the M101N that I’ve pre-ordered. Didn’t want to miss out on this one!

I chose my user name years ago - I have no links to BBS pens (other than owning one!)

I am really (really!) taken by this pen... but the size; I have one M600, and though it used to be a perfect size for me, I find I use it now less and less.  


Ever since the image was posted on the weekend I've been using my 600, trying to get reacquainted with the size.  For now I'm still on the fence (but I'm very very tempted).

Aargh! Did you come to feel it was too large? Or too small?

Pre-ordered! I love red pens. M600 is my favorite size. Got an EF this time, my first factory EF. Really looking forward to it!

Pre-ordered as well. I have a thing for tortoiseshell pens, and the M600 suits me just right. I hope they ship soon.

I seem to have outgrown the 600 size.  I used to use mine posted, but over the past year I've stopped doing that (with all my pens), so now I feel as though the 600 is too short.  Like a few others in this thread said, I would love it if this pen came in the 800 size...

      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
