Bought two of these on the last drop - received in early March, opened on my birthday mid month. Love the look and feel of the gunmetal barley fp w/broad nib - currently my favorite pen for balance, weight, ink flow, etc... the second pen, burgundy grid w/medium nib is frustrating me to no end!!! It writes more like a fine/very fine and is scratchy no matter how I hold/write with it and I've tried on a number of different papers, including Clairefontaine, still scratchy... Any suggestions on how to fix this?

RadilBut is about $4 more expensive with shipping and half the choices are now gone. MD is a better deal this time around.

failedgraceWell, I don't know about the shipping, but you can use a 10% off promo code in pen chale from basically any podcast or fountain pen blog.
Also, you don't have to wait until forever.
Also, if there's a problem with the fountain pen, pen chalet is known for solving it to your satisfaction and could easily send you another one, massdrop can't help you in any other way other than refund when you pay for the return shipping, since they are not a retailer.
But I mean, it depends in what you are looking for, they both have their benefits. I don't consider this a good drop IMO

I bought the Carbon Fiber Jewelria a couple of years ago from Massdrop. It has a Stub Nib and it one of my favourite letter writing pens. The construction of the pen is sound and the nib is an absolute delight to use.

I do not recommend this pen especially the Jewleria line from Monteverde. I own 2 of these style pens and both have had awful, screechy, broken cap thread problems. The inside of the cap is plastic and the outer threads on the base are metal, and something about this combination in particular creates quite a bit of grinding and friction. Yafa made nibs are pretty average as they come anyways, most of the time needing some sort of adjustment to write properly. I apologize for the rough review, but I must share my honest experience.
edit: tl;dr: If I buy a pen that has a squeaky thread and the nib needs work, at what point am I enjoying writing with the pen?

Anyone know if this feed is plastic or ebonite? Also, what size is the nib and is it changeable?

Let me ask a naive question. The description, not uncommon, says, "The threaded cap posts to add weight and length while you write." Is added weight something writers usually find _desirable_? (Or is this just a rationalization for the cap, with which the wroiter must do something or other?)

If all hands were standard, then everyone's penmanship would be the same and it would indeed be possible to rate pen's balance objectively. Fortunately, everyone's penmanship is a *unique* consequence of biology and physique as well as their personal sense of style.
Also, writing, like all forms of communication, serves many functions. Some writings flow with a playfulness or wit that must be embellished with light flourishes to end or even within portions of the text. Others, demand the clarity of the abrupt let there be no mistake as to the meaning, contractual, all business depiction.
Then, there's the design element. It is difficult after all to write without seeing both the pen and the paper. In my case, there are pens used only for note-taking while others are sought for writing the (increasingly rare) snail-mail letter to a familiar.
My go-to pens vary in size and construction. Their commonality is my experience of them is that they well-balanced for prolonged writing, the kind where the pen while visible disappears as the conduit - which, btw, is partly attributable to the construction of the nib. However, I'll leave that for another discussion.
So, the short answer is: yes, it is possible to rate pens using balance as a criterion. The caveat is that rate is unique to the individual, not objective.
Bottom line: YMMV. With fountain pens, one size, length, construction, weight, nib metal/flexibility/slant, etc will never fit all.
