Of all of the pen brands out there in the wild, Montblanc seems to be one of the most recognizable and most heard of. I will tell people that I am a fountain pen enthusiast and usually the first name out of their mouth's is Montblanc.
Montblanc is definitely a luxury brand but are their pens really worth their prices?
I was able to write with several before finally getting one of my very own. The Montblanc Meisterstuck 149 finally found a way into my collection and I was ready to answer the question for myself.
The nib is the best part of this pen. I am a sucker for a broad and wet writer. The nib is everything one would expect from a luxury brand. It is smooth like butter and a joy to write with.
Overall, I love the pen and how it writes but it would not be in my collection were it not for a lucky find and a great price.
This review is based off of my personal experiences and opinion. I do not represent Montblanc nor am I being compensated in any way.
I find it hard to believe that it's worth it even at $650, but I place a lot of importance on looks of a pen or if it's a special edition. I spent $575 for my Pelikan M815 Metal Striped and although it was worth it to me at that price, I wouldn't have bought it if it had been as plain as this Montblanc. I feel like you're spending $300+ just for the name in this case. (I realize you pay extra for the Pelikan name too.)
