Has anyone had the same problem as me in that the colour of the black ink has changed in the last two years and is now more grey? It is not as strong a black and weaker in colour than a $2 pen. I sent back my refills back to the Sydney Mont Blanc store. The refills were damaged in the postal service and Mont Blanc has now said they are unable to help me, in spite of the product being faulty! Great customer service for a 'premium' product! Be warned... I own a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck ballpoint pen. Has anyone had the same problem as me in that the colour of the black ink has changed in the last two years and is now more grey?

I do think items such as Montblanc fountain pen will always be collectable because they are beautiful.

Some of the exotic woods that you use are just lovely. I particularly like the marblewood blank. While, as you say, you may not be making Parker or Mont Blanc pens, you are definitely making something gorgeous. Joe, I just took a look at the pens on your site, and they’re very beautiful.

I am just a regular craftsman trying to get by. But I do really like fine pens and make ones similar to both the Parker and Mont Blanc...notice I said similar but not nearly as expensive or I guess as exquisite! I'll keep trying.

Since Guernsey is a largely tax-free zone, we sold many luxury goods including Mont Blanc fountain pens. They really are amongst the best pens ever created. Interesting that you should mention the problem with fake Mont Blanc fountain pens; we once had a salesman come into the shop and try and sell us some fakes. Since by that time we were both pretty expert at knowing all of the various makes and brands of fountain pens, which were just one of the many items that we sold in our shop, my husband kept him talking, while I called the local police. He ended up paying quite a hefty fine, and lost all of his stock -- not a nice business to take part in, the faking of luxury goods.

It's used only on very special occasions, such as adding names to the family Bible.

I used to write with it much more, but now that I spend so much time on the computer I find I write very little on paper, even with an old ballpoint pen let alone an authentic MontBlanc Fountain Pen. Every so often, I will get my Montblanc fountain pen out if I'm writing a birthday card or a letter to a special someone. You've inspired me to go grab my Montblanc fountain pen once again... now I have to think who I'm going to write to. Can I use a fountain pen to comment on this blog? ;-) I own a beautiful Montblanc fountain pen that my parents gave me for my 18th birthday.
