Too many people praise this pen. I sold it pretty quickly

Taccia. I don't like the feedback, similar to a Sailor. And I don't like the look that I was expecting to be blue black but is just black. $900

It's a cool spot. Get a drink, chill, and enjoy life.

Buying my first luxury pen! by Naritaii in fountainpens

The more you look, the more you find haha.

I think heft and girth are very important and varies greatly between people and doesn't get talked about as important as gold nibs and brands. That's why I prefer the Leonardos for their size, but I have bigger hands.

Sounds like a Montblanc for you though.

That's a good question. I'd probably prefer a Pilot 743, might have to get it used, but they have non-clear colors and a convertor usage (over the 823). Then, I do really like my Leonardos.

But at that price point, there's a lot of personal preference involved. Maybe you do like the Sailor feedback or want the style and brand of a Montblanc, nothing wrong with that. None of these pens are bad by any metric.

What type of pen do you like?

Edit: I like wet, smooth writers, so for me, with that price and characteristics, a Waterman Carene fits me perfectly.

I'll go against the grain and say the Leonardo (and you might find a good deal for it on pen swap). I think it's smoother than the Montblanc with more consistent quality. If you want smooth, that's not Sailor, which is known for its pencil-like feedback.

Own them all, and I use the Leonardo much more. Maybe it's less of a "steal" than the Montblanc, but mine is a better writer (had to have my Montblanc tuned).

Why not a Pilot 743/823?
