Pelikan M605 White-Transparent Fountain Pen

Feb 11, 2018

Even though I am very upset with Massdrop because they just started another drop within a couple of month with $30 reduction.
Here is my impression on Pelikan M605. It has very thick nib. I got fine nib but it writes like medium. I got Pelikan 205 - steel nib fine. It is thicker than that.
Also it writes very wet. Compared to all other fountain pens I have. Faber, other Pelikan and Pilot vanishing. It also leaked once in my pen case ( I carried mine in my backpack )
I think I got a lemon. What is the return policy on the massdrop?
A gorgeous pen but be aware of broad / wet nib.

zhanggooYou didn't get a lemon. The gold nib'd Pelikans are more flexible and generally put down a wetter line than the steel-nib'd birds, and it's because of this that you'll see a thicker line. I can safely say that all of my gold nib'd pelikans have a thicker line than my steel ones.
