Pelikan M425

Recommended Posts

Here is my review of my brand new Pel M425. It is simply stunning, but my pics don't do it justice at all. I hadn't the time to take better pics. Maybe later on.

Enjoy!

Great looking pen and a great handwritten review!

 

Thanks for posting this.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of nothing at all...

Thank you for reviewing the M425, a pen I've also wanted. I especially appreciate the hand-written review.

 

Also note that if you're using the pen for work, you're covered under Luther's doctrine of vocation: God's own work of creation occurs through your writing. We live by grace through faith alone; there is no fault in using good tools. In fact, we rather expect our auto mechanic, electrician, surgeon, etc., to use good tools and do good work with them. So write away. Sin boldly with the confidence that comes through faith!

Thank you for a great review of a beautiful pen. As you know last week I received an M420, sister to yours. Unfortunately I did not get time yet to review it yet (nor to ink it...) since it is a really busy time for me. But it's nice to see yours in its splendour.

 

Your pen looks beautiful and I can feel your excitement. Is the monotone nib original? My 420 has a duotone. I also wonder if the two pens were introduced in the market at the same time...

The ink is quite black for a BB: is the scan result true to colours in your opinion?

 

As for the lutheran part: forget it. Everyone may decide to spend his money as he better believe, if that makes him happy. And pens are not the worst thing in which to spend money. Additionally, pens can be used at work, so that adds to the ethic :)

 

Oh, last thing: thank you for the few words in Swedish I learnt!

 

Ciao,

Thanks for your positive feedback on my review!

I like your notion about the pen as a tool, Russ, and I'll think about it everytime I feel Luthers eyes on me... :)

 

The monotone white gold (I guess it is rhodium plated gold) is the original for the M425. It does seem a bit odd that the M420 doesn't have the monotone nib as standard as they are sister pens, but it doesn't. At least not in the pics of it I've seen of it. The ink colour is totally wrong in the scanning. This is my new scanner and I'm not certain what the default scanning option is, but when I look at the pic now it looks more like it is in black&white than in colour.

 

And - last, but not least - the pen is still fab!!! I think the tiny tiny toothiness is disappearing. Cheers/Petra

After the M425 being away for quite a while, I took some photos of it, which I think is better than the first ones (even if the light could be better) - they give a hint of the translucent dark green. I really like this pen and after getting a new nib (Pelikan changed the nib without charge) it writes like it should - extremely well. Beauty and brains withstand.

      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
