The Most Manly Fountain Pen

[hswjr]

Mont Blanc Hemingway of course

I too love the looks and feel of this fountain pen. I tried one out at last year's Atlanta Fountain Pen show. It felt luxurious but unfortunately, its ink flow was like Niagara Falls; practically flooded the paper. How does yours write?

heb

Visconti Homo Sapiens. It's made from LAVA! it has bronze accents, a titanium piston filler, and a 23k Paladium flex nib.

Hello,
Now you are talking about the best looking fountain pen ever made, period. You are a lucky person. How does it write?

It depends on the ink. With thinner inks the flow is fast and furious. To me it is "just right" with both Visconti Blue and J. Herbin 1670 Rouge Hematite. It still writes wet but I like wet writers as you need less pressure to write then. I use only Rhodia paper and find very little feathering no matter how wet a stroke I pen.

Parker Duofold Greenwich.

(Not in terms of weight, but in terms of looks.)

Hello goodguy,
Thanks for the information. Apparently, you and I are not the only people who like this LE. I can remember seeing some of these for sale (also the Hemingway ball point pen) in the very early 90's. They were expensive then, of course, but no $3800!

You said "...red and black.."; believe it or not, the ones I saw were more like burnt orange and a deep chocolate brown, like the ones in your pictures. I admit to
being slightly color blind in the red/green harmonics or something like that (seriously).

Glad to be of help.
If you need any more info on a MB pen just let me know.
I owned many of them and wrote many reviews on them.

Hey mister,

A manly pen is one used by a man, irregardless of size, color, material used.
