Almost Perfect Pen, 5/2/2011

By Roctor Dowe from Brentwood TN

As a physician who practised for years before the "mandatory computerised medical patient files", I did a lot of writing ... a lot! The Meisterstuck felt fabulous in my hand and moved so smoothly over the paper. (I preferred the ball-point over the roller ball because I print - much to the delight of the pharmacists' delight ... I adored the pen for about 4 years until the day I used it to slice open a padded "jet pack" and it literally exploded (the pen, not the package!) I was nonplussed and disappointed. The instrument had a feel of indestructibility about it and I was dismayed to find such a sturdy (and expensive) pen responding so like a Bic Clic when used for such a menial task, whether engineered for it or not. I still have all the pieces in its case because it was a gift and I keep thinking someday I'll work up the guts to request a replacement despite being past warranty, and having been used rather unconventionally. Still, one cannot caress a pen like one can a Meisterstuck. It flows effortlessly ... unless used to open envelopes.

Best writing, feeling of comfort pen set, 12/18/2008

By Deep Water (Cherokee) from Nahunta, GA.

Dear Sir or Madam; The most comfortable pens and/or pencils in my collection are the 'Montblanc' units. They have perfect weight and balance as it fits your hand like a glove. Most all uses requiring a writing instrument, my choice is this manufactures products. It is seldom that I go anywhere, business or pleasure that these three do not go with me. Being older, learned writing with a straight pen. For many children I have made a quill writing pen for show and tell. If you were to take a well made quill and a 'Montbanc' fountain pen you will find that these modern pens almost dulicates the quill feeling and satistaction is as it should be. With twelve(12) GRANDCHILDREN AND (18) GREAT GRANDCHILDREN, I have experienced this many times. The pencil is excellent for taking notes quickly, in difficult positions, situations and sketching with the same wonderful balance of pencil to hand. The ballpoint pen is my least liked instrument, but in todays world, it is necessary. Signing where carbon type duplicates are required. Still it has the advantage of its fellow 'Montblanc' instuments and that being it feels so good to use. Unlike other ballpoint pens, excess ink does not accumulate to leave a smear or blob on your work. Last but not least, instant recognition. During a meeting, negotiation or what ever, when your associates or compitition see the three'stars' of Montblanc you can see the change in attitude and attention as to what you do and say. There have been times that I truly believe more that one contract has been won, not by my professional work but by the "Montblanc's Stars." In thanking you for you considerations and assistance in e-mailing pen prices in such a speedy reply, I remain, Yours Respectfully, Peter J. Smith
