The first leak of this pen dated back to Nov, 2023. After some regular delays, it was launched yesterday.
The high price due to:
1. ebonite feed - but it does not come with Low Ink Refill function
2. all metal piston components - why? MB Hemingway with all metal piston mechanism?
so, both "upgrade specifications" do not actually deliver any "upgrade in function".
Pro:
- quite a bit vintage pen look, homage to MB Hemingway, don't sleep old man don't sleep.
Con:
- expensive, compared with other makers with similar specifications.
- no Low Ink Refill function.
- when posted, the cap will rest on piston knob and turn it with ease (pictures near the end).
Hey! I saw your Youtube review of this pen. It looks very nice even if the pen needs a full ink bottle. You can get an ink reservoir for some ink bottles (like the old Sailor Jentle inks), which solves that problem. Do you have a writing sample of the nib? It looks like a copy of the Delta Dolce Vita pen more than a Montblanc.
ReplyDeleteThis pen is more of a homage to MontBlanc Hemingway. I did not prepared the writing sample for this pen, as it is more of a toy pen to me. But what I can share with you that, this nib write like a steel nib, almost no flex, no feedback, very very boring.
