For me, Montblanc M is not a Montblanc. I will never consider it as one.
-
excellent review as usual !
-
Would it be safe to say that the folks at Montblanc have been slumming a bit when it came to designing the M? Have a happy Spring!

The Appelboom Pen banner discount doesn't work anymore :(

waarom vergelijk je de M niet met F nib MontBlancs?
-
As always a matter of taste. I don't like the concept of the "M" at all. I would rather get a a Lamy Empire or whatever it is called. the thing is: you can only get fine or medium nibs on this "M" pen, while there are a lot of options for Meisterstück pens like the 149. When it comes to looks, I would opt for a starwalker, not for the "M" - starwalkers were even designed to be posted. The design of the "M" doesn't make much sense for me. Sorry, Mr. Newson. Even the best designer has a bad day now and then...

I have all the MBs and unfortunately have become bored by them, having been using Esterbrooks, Edison, and Wahl-Eversharps.
-
The nibs on the 146 and 149 look fantastic to use. Great video!
-
That burgundy 146 looks very nice. Don't like that new-fangled "M" model...
-
Thank you for the new video. Even I a grey day you don't fail to make me smile :) keep it up

Thanks for making this video, interesting comparison!
I have both the M and the 146 (and a 145) in fine nibs.
My take on this design is that the M is meant to be more of a precision technical /engineering /drawing /architect type of drafting tool, were the Meisterstücks are more classical “writer” tools.
The M doesn’t replace, nor compete with the Meisterstücks, it’s just different…
By the way, my M seems to write smoother, and less scratchy than what is shown in the video. -
I Can't find the montblan

Yes, finally, another episode of Fountain Pen Shootout! A very good video. A little aspect is missing... What about the disassembly of the fountain pens? In order to disassemble the MB149 and the MB146 you need special tools... what about the M? Due to the fact that the pen was given to you for reviewing, what was your impression on cleaning the M?
-
I really like the Montblanc M and would happily part with as much as $250AU for it (about 190$US)- as a cheaper entry level MB it may have been a good strategy - as a serious contender to the other two stalwarts in your shoot-out? Dead before it drew.
-
A little of the old sbrebrown in the intro. Loved it.
-
Ha-Ha, heart-stopping opening! :0) Yeah, the M does nothing for me either. Hipster nonsense.
-
The M seems to be an exercise in cost cutting measure designed to maximize profits. They still get a good price without investing as much in the pen.
-
I really would like to get Montlanc pen, but I also want a Montblanc pen.
