Inspired by the serenity of stone gardens, this limited-edition Pelikan M800 fountain pen features a marbled cellulose acetate barrel in shades of brown and blue. It’s accented on both sides by opaque dark blue resin on the grip section, end, and cap Read More
IlikepensandicannotlieI got a M1000 for a cheaper price from cultpens.com thanks to Boris Johnson and the weaker pound. Also they're on sale right now for a bit too. A much better deal than this.
You may not be able to get a limited edition version, but the M1000 writes so differently from the M800. Despite the difference in size and carat difference between the M600 and M800, the increase in quality between the M1000 and M800 is much greater imo.
I was considering this drop and then saw it on Endless Pens for $333 (including a 10% pre-order discount). I don't have any experience with Endless Pens so I'm undecided at this point.
LambChop11I bought a Leonardo Devil's kiss momento zero pen from them. No problems at all. They have very competitive prices on some of their pens. Not sure why, but I'd say go ahead
It's a beautiful pen with a fairly non-responsive, stiff nib. After a few times of trying to enjoy this pen beyond looking at it, I sold it. The old 14 kt nibs from a long time ago are so superior, especially the old Montblanc 149s.
As far as price, it's pretty good.
I LOVE this pen. It is simply gorgeous. The autumnal colors contrasted with navy makes it a stand out. It writes beautifully. On Apica premium paper, it feels like you're writing on glass it sooo smooth. I also have the M800 Grand Place. Gorgeous as well. I purchased Stone Garden with a F nib and the Grand Place with a M nib. They are virtually the same to me. I have no regrets on either purchase. This price is unreal. I paid about $100 extra for mine.
Put the breaks on my collection last summer. (have more pens than I know what to do with), and I’m glad I did. Pens keep getting more expensive, but they don’t really get any better.
I like this pen. I've had mine for about 6 months and was fortunate to get it at a good price as well through another supplier. It's a comfortable, well made pen. But, I don't think I'd want to get a second one, however. The nib, while providing good feedback and flow, is a bit on the stiff side for me. So, while I enjoy using this pen from time to time, I tend to leave it un-inked more often than I have it filled. I like older Mont Blancs, some older Viscontis and the Nebulosa.
A pen I really enjoy is the Aurora Optima (Nebulosa). There are a few versions of this configuration. I like it more than the 88. The reason I mention this pen is because I use it daily and find the nib to be more expressive. It's slightly shorter in overall length (uncapped) than the Stone Garden.
It really comes down to what you're looking for in a pen. The Pelikan is comfortable and writes well. The nib is just not as expressive as other pens. Depending on what you're looking for, this could be a good thing. I tried to include a couple of pictures for your viewing pleasure, but was unable.
Good price on a great pen. I’ve had my M-800 stone garden for over a month now. Got it with a fine nib at a
special pre-release price. This Massdrop price is the lowest i’ve Seen here in the states. The free US shipping is an added plus.
It has become my favorite pen. The deep blue section grip, cap and blind cap are a great treat from the traditional black. The barrel colors are a bit more subdued on mine than the pics here. There Is no ink window, but tha barrel lets just enough light pass through that you can get a fix on your ink level if held up to a light.
I have several M-800’s. They are called “the Writer’s Pen” because they are such great writers and comfortable in the hand. This one has all the writing qualities of an M-800 with the added benefit of this unique color scheme.
Pelikan nibs tend to be rather juicy. The ink line on my fine is similar to a European Medium. I did a writing sample contrasting my fine Pelikan nib with a Broad Sailor Realo. Both put down a nice wet ink line with the Pelikan being tiny bit thinner in width than the Sailor.
‘For my hand, the Pelikan Fine Gold nibs work well for me. In Pelikan Steel nibs I prefer Mediums.
Hop his helps. Glad I bought mine. Don’t think you will regret it either.
Your avatar fits. You should have beenspanked more as a kid. Maybe you would have learned how to behave in the company of grown ups.. If you have something factual to say then do so, being rude is not helpful to anyone.
This is a fabulous price on a beautiful pen. I have a M800 Grande Place which I bought before this, I would have gotten this one had I known it was coming out in the future, but I can't buy everything, at least I'm trying to learn that new skill.
Chipp1There's so much information that is wrong that gets recycled decade after decade. The craziest ones concern oblique cut nibs, most say right handed writers should get obliques cut like a left foot when viewed from the top, when if you're buying oblique for line variation, right handed writers using right foot shaped oblique nib gives you the most variation, almost like an italic. I personally love sharp thin italics, but nearly every time I write I dig into the paper at least twice a day. You adjust your hold on the pen and continue writing. Experienced pen stores can see the angle your pen makes when you hold it, prescribing an oblique that will contact the paper at your preferred writing angle. Few stores have this knowledge, but some do. Such a pen is a joy because it's fitted to your writing posture.
So right handed writers can use both types of obliques, same for left handed writers. An expert can fit the various postures of left handed writers, hooking, or underwriters. See: https://www.nibs.com/content/left-handed-writers
