I never said FOUNTAIN pens. Now Fountain Power boats, thats a different story. They hold the world record for fastest boat. It's a company about 30 miles away from here. Uber expensive boats too. Their average power boat goes in the 6 figures. Check out their site. http://www.fountainpowerboats.com/

Tyler

Oh yea and that factory boat sale at the bottom, that's probably BS.

Since when do lawyers have a heart? I thought they have a bankaccount in their chest, beating at the tune of $500 an hour

I like their pens a lot too. You need to write with them befor buying one. They all have different character. A rollerball tends to have a smoother feel than a ballpoint. Ballpoint tends to drag a little bit more, you feel the pen on the paper better. I never tried a fountain pen, do they write good? Also the way the pen feels in your hand changes. I got a starwalker ballpoint over the rollerball because when you remove the cap, the grip feels weird to me. Using a small pen hurts my fingers after extended writing. The best thing I love about my Montblanc pens are the ink. I am left handed so I drag my hand over each word I write and the ink doesn't smear at all, and it always writes so smooth. You can get a nice montvlanc pen from SAMS club for around 100 dollars, which is how I got my first one.

Tyler,

I like Montblanc, but just be aware that if you buy anything but a fountain pen, you're not getting a product that they are really known for -- you're just getting a pen like any other, but with the Montblanc name on it. Now, I've got to admit, I've bought a couple of non-fountain Montblancs myself -- because fountain pens are just too much trouble for me. I have a Skywalker rubber-clad ballpoint, which I love. It's my "everyday" pen. I recently got one of their sliver 100th anniversary pens that's made of silver, with granite from Mont Blanc on the cap, and a Montblanc logo-shaped diamond at the top. I got the roller-ball version, and I use it all the time. This one is about $2,000, though, so it may not be exactly what you want. I also have a few others, including limited editions and such. Those are all fountain pens.

There are plenty of other great brands that are at least as good as Montblanc. Probably my favorite is S.T. Dupont. If I carry a fountain pen, it is my Dupont. There are many beautiful "art" pens too, but they are not the sort of thing a student would carry in his/her pocket.

If you want something with a matching pencil, I'd stick with Cross. Just get one of the more unusual models, so you don't look like everyone else with a boring old gold-plated pen and pencil set.

Rockrolex · 19 May 2006, 01:04 AM

I have Mont Blanc and Waterman fountain pens, as well as ball points for each. I much prefer the Mont Blanc. Both the fountain pen (med. point) and the ball point are very smooth and never skip. Mont Blanc is like Rolex - a great high end pen, but there are always more expensive ones around. But like Rolex, Mont Blanc has more name recognition than the others.

Goodwatch · 19 May 2006, 05:47 AM

The artificially archaic Mont Blanc represents an extreme. The firm makes a whole range of pens, from slim, cylindrical ballpoints to conventional, sleek fountain pens. But the Meisterstuck Diplomat, as it is known, is the only one of their models to qualify as cult object. The attention to details is extraordinary: Diplomats have all the elaboration of Latin-American banknotes. The word Meisterstuck is carved in fist-deep letters in the gold band around the cap, and cross-hatched to fool the counterfeiters. There are two versions, varying in size. The 148 is large, the 149 is simply vast. Obviously there is a whimsical streak somewhere in the Mont Blanc organisation: amid the baroque flourishes on the 14-carat nib is inscribed, in the cramped hand of a Prussian bank clerk, the number 4810, the height in metres of the eponymous mountain peak. The pen’s bulk offers plenty of scope for intimidatory manoeuvres in the course of those diplomatic confrontations that it contrives to suggest it was designed for. You can fiddle with the top at difficult moments, with the studied deliberation that one assumes comes naturally to the representatives of Her Britannic Majesty or unscrew the top and fix it to the end furthest of the nib, in doing so, inflating its proportions to the scale of a baton.
