Is the Pelikan M1000 worth it?
The Pelikan M1000 fountain pen is the best in my collection. The extra fine nib writes very smooth. The combination of M1000 filled with iroshizuku kon-peki ink and writing on Calirfontane 90g/sq m or Moleskine paper has worked well for me. The pen has a rich ink flow and works well as I tend to write quickly.
Which nib is best for signature?
Fine nibs are best for those with handwriting that is smaller and tighter. Medium nibs produce a line width around 0.8mm. They’re suitable for those with average handwriting size, and work particularly well in creating signatures. Broad, or bold, nibs produce a line width around 1.0mm.
Are Pelikan ballpoint pens good?
Fit and finish on the ballpoint is as excellent as with the fountain pen. The refill it comes with, Pelikan’s own parker-style ballpoint refill, works really well. The medium tip, black ink refill writes very smooth and consistent. Its relatively dark for a ballpoint, though nothing like fountain pen ink yet.
Is Pelikan M1000 too big?
Pelikan likes to boast about the Souverän line’s available range of sizes. The M1000 is in the ‘big & tall’ section, coming in at a respectable extra-large. Sized similarly to Montblanc’s Meisterstück 149, the M1000 can almost seem too big for daily carry at times.
What nib size is best for calligraphy?
My recommendation is that you don’t get anything under 3.8 mm. A larger-sized nib is more suitable for beginners, and you can easily expand your toolbox later on.
What is the world’s most expensive pen?

What’s the difference between the M600 and M605 pens?

The M605 pens have a crown cap top, rhodium colored trim, double trim rings at the piston knob, a trim ring at the section, and double cap bands.
What’s the difference between the M600 and M800?
M600 in hand. The M800 series is a substantial pen. Both size and weight are noticeably different compared to the M600. The weight difference is mainly due to the brass differential piston mechanism, compared to the plastic one in the smaller models.
Is the one chick logo on the M605?
