Top 5 MONTBLANC 149 Fountain Pens 🖋 [Nibs]-- 🔥 Jazzy Background 🎶
Hello my friends. Today, I present to you the top 5 Modern Montblanc 149s in my collection. I will be sure to follow this up with my top 5 vintage 149s.
There is Jazz music in the background. Imagine you are at a cafe, with the Jazz music playing, and you are listening to a crazy enthusiastic friend talk about one of the most polarizing brands of fountain pens. Of course, I can make a version with no background music for those who prefer.
As noted, I will be working on vintage top 5 next. Thank you all for watching. Feel free to follow my channel for more of my efforts to make fountain pens look cool [or hot, hence the steam :) :) ].
I hope you enjoy the video. Cheers.

What one is that? The one that out your others out of commission? The cornipopfiller?
Ahhh… Conid bulk filler… I’d never heard of Conid!
It is an awesome pen.
is the last one a Montblanc calligraphy ?
Congratulations for your job! I would try to put the best Extra Extra Fine NIB NON Scratchy .. Which original NIB can I choose because I don't know any nib maister ?
I really like pilot ef nibs. The finest. Where are you located? If in the 🇺🇸, I can give you more options.
@Shak-MD I am doctor in Greece🇬🇷 since 2004. So I will try EF of Pilot !
@christos.21 Awesome. 743 is a great one. I have several. I also ground my m into ef. Good too.
Very excellent collection- why was the curved calligraphy nib omitted? You have the most number of posts with that nib- any special reason , just curious to know. Thanks
Thanks. The curved nib is an awesome pen, but along with many others, it didn't make it to top 5. OBB, F, OM, OB, B, etc didn't make it either.
I have watched a couple of your reviews, nice style and naturally unfolding thoughts. One comment, to my thinking, the music is not necessary and has a bit of a soporific effect. I would much prefer just your voice and whatever background that happens to be there.
Thank you for the feedback. I will try that... or maybe music only to fill the silence.
Shak , could you compare them to pilot custom urushi and namiki emperor ? Saying which one is the smoother and the more precise one ? Thanks 🖖 🖖 🖖
That vs. Would make a great video. Thanks. Will do that.
3 one
What a dream team!!!
Thanks!
I’m so sorry to ask but how do you afford to purchase so many grail pens. A standard 149 in Australia is $1,650. Regardless if you answer or not, this is the most impressive montblanc collection I’ve seen on RUclips. Good on you and all the best!!!
Hi. Thank you. The 149 can be found much cheaper than retail suggested prices. New ones are only found in the boutiques. I stop at nothing to bring my sissies the best of Montblanc nibs. Even if it means I'll take much longer to pay off my student loans. Life is too short to stress about student loans too much... right? Thank you for watching!
Great video, thanks for posting this. How smooth is the modern extra fine? Also, any thoughts on the 75th Anniversary 149? Is the 75th Anniversary mainly about the looks of the pen and nib, and not so much about bow the nib writes?
Thank you very much. The much ef is as smooth it smoother than pelikan m1000ef, smoother than pilot fine, and puts to utter shame all bock 380s I have tried. Amazing nib. If imperfect out of the box, can easily be perfectly tuned. 75th anniversary is considered vintage in my book.... so, it will be part of my next video. I have 2... one is eef by Kirk Speer. It is just about my best eef nib. Stay tuned 😀.
Great video very informative loved it, excited to see your take on vintage 149 especially older Ef nibs how they compared to modern flex
I have some older EF nibs coming up soon. Thanks! Interestingly, in my book, the modern EF is a more pleasant writer than the vintage ef. But I will be sure to discuss that.
Love this
😍
Wow you sure have a collection of pens there !
Thanks MMD! Vintage video is in the making.
Great video as always!!! On your #3 with the extra fine nib, you used two pens. What was the blue ink on the first #3 pen you wrote with? Such a beautiful color!!!
Thank you. That is Montblanc ultramarine.
Well done as always. You have some really great nibs . I am down to one 149 with a medium nib, but it is a real fire hose. I would definitely prefer something finer. I think Montblanc makes some fantastic pens and I would like to add a few more to my collection.
The 149 medium can be modified in many good ways, better than F and EF can. I am thoroughly enjoying all of these. I will be doing top 5 vintage nibs as well 😀 ... The 75th anniversary falls in that category..
Shak, I just learned a lot and I have grown to love Montblanc pens
Thank you, John. They do make great nibs. I have yet to try some of their other bespoke nibs.
What a great video. Love listening to your calm demeanor, you insights into the pens and of course looking at the eye Candy! Off topic for MB but not pens…any thoughts on the new Fifty4T brand of bulk filler pens ala Conid?
Thanks so much, I find that to be an analog of the kyuseido pen from a distance. I have a hard time justifying the price tag.
a few years ago when I bought my montblanc 149 flex caligraphy pen, it skipped with all inks when I tried to spread it except for the irishuzuko ink. I sent it for repair and it came back much better. Now it never skips and writes a lot better than the one you have in the video, I know you like to tinker but consider sending it to Montblanc for inspection.
Thank you. I currently have 4 of the flexes in rotation. I really love the fineness and use less wet inks in them to get finer lines yet. I have several videos showing how nicely these can flex. Generally, I get very little railroading unless pushed beyond reason. I find the nibs behave even better in Conid. Sending to service is a good thought when the time comes.
I have the Calligraphy 149 burgundy, I send it twice to get fix, I still have 5 months guarantee, I will send it one last time and use like you as an extra fine and not flex it again.
@@frankv7068 They are awesome for ef writing. Repurpised, if you will. Cheers!
Thank you for this video. Where can I get that knockout box?
Thanks! I got it from ebay.
Great image work
Thanks!
I have a M1000 M nib , so would you recommend a M800 M nib or a EF nib as a daily driver, my pen dealer doesn’t have a F so I have to choose between M & EF.
EF any day.
Excellent thank you !
Have you considered reviewing the new Fifty4T bulk filler? Would love your opinion!
I find that to be an analog of the Kyuseido pen from distance. I have a hard time justifying the tag. Maybe I can borrow one from PV for review, though I doubt that.
How much did the muffler delete cost? I’m thinking about doing it to my car.
About 150 and a couple of hrs work in garage.
Fantastic 😍
Which pen use FPR nib
Well done with the closeups. Very nice.
Agartha??? 😱
Yes. Brand new!
👌🏻👍🏻
Looks like an Asvine…
True.
The Bock section for the m800 seems to be out of stock. I wrote to them hopefully they will get back to me. Just wondering when you replace the nib do you use the original pelikan m800 feed or the bock feed?
Hope they bring back. I used the nib and feed from M800.
I just checked the website and it looks like they’re back in stock. They may have listened to my email I sent. I bought a pelican M 800 broad for €145 on the Giardino Italiano site so looking forward to doing your swap.
Hi, I have recently started to follow your channel and going back to my passion for writing with fountain pens. Could you please share a bit about the paper you are using? Or alternatives for it. Cheers!
Hi. Thank you for watching. This paper is Clairefontaine 90 gram/meter squared Séyès ruled paper.
@shak-md Is the barrel on this pen wider than the rouge et noir 1906?
From what I remember in the pen show, Rouge was quite a bit slimmer.
A very nice disassembly video. Seeing as this video is a year old now- how is the pen holding up?
It works fine when I use it, but it is underutilized in my bag. Lovely pens. I find Jinhao 9016 to be a better overall pen, mostly due to size. The nib is also amazing.
I have purchased an fpr need for a box I want to put it on my v200 but I've been having problems they always keep sending me the regular ass fine then and I wanted to know if I you know order it again from another purchaser what size nips should I
I have purchased a fpr nib ssembly for
Hey. What paper is that?
Clairefontaine 90 gsm Séyès ruled paper.
😮 It is difficult to accept a converter that stops to work in a pen of 1350€ or 650€🎉 So how can you say is it good?😮Further the final section is not ebanite and you can see the sign of the fusion 😒🤯😖😖
You are right, as I noted in 03:15 timeline, the grip section is made of plastic. The converter sometimes becomes tricky to use, but generally works I find. You have to make sure that little tube is not in contact with the wall of the convertor in order to suck in ink....that is crap, and a 1400 dollar convertor should work better. Japanese are great at wrapping amazing nibs in trashy bodies, and it sells! Look at all sailor KOPs with plastic body, cheapest plastic in the industry, imo!
👏
I'm very happy with my Pilot 912 with the PO nib. Mine isn't scratchy and writes great!
They are great. But I am saying in comparison, they are not as smooth. The PO nibs I have are good, but not as pleasant as the Pilot EF nibs.
@@Shak-MD Well, anytime that you go up in size of the tip it should be smoother. I didn't buy this PO nib for writing letters with, but I wouldn't be afraid of using it. I think that your tips are misaligned a tad.
Good to know. Thank you..
Hey Shak, I asked for this video on a different social media platform, and here you came through - Simply Awesome!!! It's amazing that a potential heartbreaking accident can lead someone down a different path to an unexpected recovery. Of course, I couldn't in good conscience do that to a perfectly good expensive nib without a great deal of practice on much more inexpensive nibs. Then again, I may just have to get a Pilot CH 912 with the PO nib to start with! Thanks for a very fascinating video!
My pleasure! I do have a posting nib from pilot. It is inferior to their EF nib. It is actually scratchy. This one, while not as fine, is a dream 😍 to write with. It was truly a " happy little accident ".
@@Shak-MD You need to send it in for a replacement because my Pilot 912 PO nib is not scratchy. I bought it around seven months ago and haven't had any problems with it. I've even wrote a few paragraphs in letters to let others see how it looks on paper.
Which are the others 2 ef nibs favorites ?
I would tell, but it would spoil my top 10 nibs video 😀
Kkkk !!! 😂😂😂
ouch! that hurts. judging by the sound of it, it no longer writes smooth
It is quite a bit smoother than pilot posting... not as fine mind you, but one of the sweetest nibs...giving the emperor a run for tis money.
