The Pelikan Souverän M805 Raden Royal Platinum Limited Edition is my Grail pen. I’ve only seen photos, I never expect to see one in real life, and I definitely couldn’t ever afford one. Unless I won the lottery but I just think t is the most beautiful pen I’ve seen.
I too love Medium nibs and I'm looking to buy my first Pelikan M800. Spending this kind of money I don't know which nib size to get ?? I don't want to screw up spending this kind of money. Which nib size would you suggest I get ?? I love the channel by the way !! Please help me decide !! 😂
If you like medium nibs then the M800 size nibs I would say a western medium = a Pelikan M800 Medium. If you were looking at an M1000 a medium in that would in a lot of cases be more like a Broad or Double Broad.
I bought a brand new Pelikan M 1000 with a Broad nib about 3 years ago. I have had 2 separate nibmeisters look at it because the nib is rough to write with. I think that the problem with the company is their quality control. Some nibs may be wonderful and others are a disappointment. They send out pens that are not properly inspected. Others have complained of this. My choice is to accept my loss or buy a new nib from Pelikan which is extremely expensive and no guarantee of a good quality nib. One thing is for sure : I will never buy another pen from this company. RS. Canada
You are right, bigger is not always better, and I have come a long way in nibs. Although I still prefer larger nibs, I find the M1000 nib a bit too springy and the feed a little too deep that it starts to drag on the paper if you have a lower writing angle.
Nice video. As a new Pelikan fan I am consuming as much information as possible. Well done!
I needed this video. I'm considering selling my m800, and I think I really needed to see the difference.
Beautiful collection of Pelicans! The ocean swirl would be my favorite!

Ocean but with a black cap. OMG!
Ocean swirl is probably the top of my bucket list/grail pens. Its really stunning.
Have 3 x M805 Demonstrators. All with BB Nibs. Best writers I’ve ever had. I think the M800/5 is the Benchmark writing instrument.
“I started out with the M1000 here…” 😮
Nice vid, Dave :). Soon not one, but two of the pens you show will be in my possession haha.
Pelikan Domination, one chick at a time 😂
Nice video.Nice Collection.
Especially my favorite pen is Ocean Swirl☺️
Great info in this video.
No writing sample ! Disappointing.

The M1000 broad is the most amazing pen ever made.

How sad that people are returning their Ocean Swirl because of the contrasting light and dark that a lot of us are looking for in materials like that.
IDK IF YOU REALIZED BUT YOUR M1000 NIB TINE IS NOT PERFECTLY CENTERED
Yes, many M1000 nibs do come not perfectly centered, but it's no longer my nib as I sold it a couple of years ago, so doesn't bother me.
Quiero comprar
Nice video man keep it up
I found a new pen channel sub ed you 😊😎🤩
Thank you!
If the medium nib of M1000 is so leaky why do you praise this nib so much? Bigger is not necessarily better. Haven’t you realised it yet ?
