I like it too!  I already have the black version.  I doubt I'll get this one, if I have to pay more with the tariffs here in the U.S.

Jinhao 9019 "F" nib running Birmingham Firebox

Majohn 140 "M" nib running Lamy Dark Lilac

Looks great. 

 

Ever since the black one came out I have been wishing for a blue one - and, giving that they released a M215 way back in blue, I thought it would eventually happen.

 

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'm going to get it, with so much uncertainty going on.

Tariffs be damned. But even without them, it’s a pricey beaut.

I'm not the biggest fan of heavy pens, but this one I will buy 🤩. M800 size, ink window, nice color... What's not to like?

It´s a beauty. (At least in the pictures, which is all I have seen.) But I have - and love - the black one, plus, between the two, I would opt for the black one again. So... admiring the pictures will be enough for me.

It's a really nice blue in real life. There were nice offers at the Dutch pen show. Couldn't resist.

Thank you 😄. This is the wrong forum to browse if you don't want to buy a new pen 😁

Beautiful pen! The blue appears to be a lighter shade of blue in sunlight than in Pelikan's advertisement photos. I'll soon be able to judge for myself. Mine should arrive in just a few days.

Oh, don't i know it!

I'm just trying to avoid M800s, since I already have way too many of them.

My Metal Striped Blue M815 arrived today. I like its look even better than I expected.

 

FYI the weight difference from a M800 is about 7 grams. In my hand, it is not subjectively heavier.

 

Happy writing!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
