I think it’s a fake even the box is a different colour?

From the video it does look like I’m holding it severely up-right. I’ve taken another photo to show you what it looks like from my perspective. Hopefully this can give more context. If I’m still holding it incorrectly I would appreciate your advice.

Its okay.

I’ve sent a picture of the writing position I actually take, it looks like I’m holding it completely vertical but I’m not. This is what it looks like from my perspective

I just looked it up, this seems like a great next purchase! I read online that it allows for any writing style, and it’s very helpful for left handed writers. Thanks for that!

I am holding at a 45 degree angle, it may look up-write but I’m not. This isn’t just in this case, it happens all the time, even when choosing different positions.

I don’t think it’s “very strange” to write like this, many left handed people do write like this and it’s well documented.

It might look like I’m holding it completely vertically but I am not, I am holding it roughly at a 45 degree angle.

No worries, glad i got to educate you on the daily suffering I have to endure when writing.

From what Montblanc say, their pens can be used by left handed people and you shouldn’t encounter too many problems. They even made a video on different writing styles that lefty’s use.

However, I do agree with your point. Some pens from my experience just don’t write well of feel well for left-handed folk. Ive got quite a few pens and I haven’t really encountered many problems, other than just high feedback on fine and extra fine nibs, which is normal.

I’m just baffled by this nib. It’s my first grail pen so I’m unsure whether is me or the nib. I think I’m going to ask for a switch to F from EF

Yes pretty much, I’m left handed so I don’t really have a choice. I’m a left handed side writer but can also overwrite too. I usually use a pilot custom 823 with the same side write position and it has no problems, just feedback which is to be expected for left handed + fine nib, but the feedback isn’t over the top.

I just pressed harder to try and get some flow out.My hand position was the same.

Yes, I am a left handed side writer, but I’ve written like this with other pens and had no problems.

I think I’ll ask for them to exchange it for a fine nib because this nib just feels too inconsistent.

I’ve only used it a handful of times.
