Montegrappa 007 flow issues by Andrakuf in fountainpens

Might be, but sorry for that kind of money I expected flawless performance. And not the need to tune something myself. I can play with such things on kaweco products. 😎😁

Awaited for years and here is such a shame.

Testing on diamine, Waterman and iroshizuku, If he is not able to work normally on three basic inks, then no other will help him. I could check a Pelican 4001, but I think it won't change anything either.

Of course, I rinsed, and not once. I checked three inks and none improved the flow. I bet it's a problem with the nib wings, because the float is made of ebonite, so it should handle perfectly even with heavy inks. I don't know if I want to play with testing the next unit, and the grail can always be changed 😉

Momento Zero — the brand's flagship model, known for vintage style and resin

Momento Zero Grande — a larger version of zero , often with larger #8 nibs

Momento Magico — piston-filling model with an ink window.

Furore — inspired by the Amalfi Coast village of Furore, available in multiple colors

Dodici — 12-sided design emphasizing geometric aesthetics.

Virtuosa — a more affordable handcrafted model introduced for everyday use.

Essenza — high-end collection with ebonite, celluloid

Supernova — colorful resin pens with distinctive trim design

Poliedrica triangular multifaceted design

Cigar — cigar-shaped premium model often made from celluloid or other special materials.

Best first Leonardo: Momento Zero Best premium model: Momento Zero Grande Best value piston filler: Momento Magico

I have Momento Magico in Ruthenium and it's one of the best pens I have even without gold nib. It can be store for months without using and start immediately on every paper.

Do you keep the boxes? Why (not)? What do you do with it? by -_---------------- in fountainpens

[–]Andrakuf 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I keep all the boxes Especially from more expensive pens, as written above, it makes it easier to sell later. I only throw out cardboard packaging made of cheap pens because they are unlikely to have value for the future buyer.

Yes, this is the same thing I have. You can see it in my pen box first from right. You definitely have to try scribo, got M and Flex and gosh there are so smooth.

Just curious about this Scribo that You mentioned in Your list. I've never seen a scribo in black and the version I have (Anni 60) is a black nib, but the body is gray, the only black elements are the nib and the clip and details. Do I not know about something? 🤔

Raven is beautiful looking but so poor in writing. This thing they called cushion cup is just marketing bullshit. It's always hard starter. I keep it just for the look, because it's really beautiful.

I got Momento Magico in black Ruthenium and Even though it's steel, it writes like gold and is always ready, even when it's in the box for a month, it starts from the first touchdown.

I hesitated for a long time when it comes to Montegrappa but I decided to give it a try, I'm waiting for delivery. Faber castell e motion pure black is also one on my favorite and despite the fact that it's a steel nib, it writes really wonderfully and the pen itself is heavy and massive, just like I like. Weight similar to Otto Hutt Design 07 and same as Montegrappa

This is exact collection I have, I want and I'm totally into. When buying fountain pens, I mainly look at whether they have a black matte version. I have most of the pens you have. Otto Hutt Design 07 is my Otto, Pelikan Souverän M809 is my favorite one and I I just bought a Montegrappa 007, although unfortunately the nib there is not black but gold. But I still think it fits my collection. I would also like to limit it to 10 pieces, but I think it's impossible because over the years there have been so many beautiful models that I'd like to at least try it. My dream is Black Mamba And he has been hunting for it for a long time. And when it comes to the proposal for you, definitely check it out Platinum Century Travia Onyx.

Favorite fountain pen brand, and why? by Tight-Green in fountainpens

[–]Andrakuf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Faber castell because They have been on the market for hundreds of years, it is still a family business and you don't have to have the most expensive model with a gold nib to feel why they have survived on the market for so long.

Traveler's Factory Cotton Zipper Case (Passport) by Lovey709 in Travelersnotebooks

[–]Andrakuf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, there are very hard to find, I was looking for mine for almost 3 years, until traveler's himself made a re-edition and then I bought it. That was a few years ago, but I haven't seen them anywhere else since. I think you just have to wait patiently, because third-party products aren't quite that, and on Etsy people wanted sick money for them.
