Moonman M800 Acrylic Resin Fountain Pen BOCK/Moonman Nib Ink Pen Original Box (Purple, Moonman Fine Nib 0.6mm)

Does not come with Bock nib as advertised. I purchased a second M800 in green and it came with a Bock nib. See pictures. This pen usually costs $25 with a moonman nib and $40 when it comes with a Bock nib. Since this is being sold at a higher price I disregarded the first picture that shows a moonman nib because the rest of the product pictures show a Bock nib on the pen. Very disappointed.

Moonman pens are a cut above your standard Chinese pens. Fit and finish are excellent, equal to pens 5 times the price. This is a fairly lightweight pen for its size, which is a plus. Many manufacturers seem to equate weight with perceived quality, a big mistake. Lighter weight means less writing fatigue.Every Moonman pen I have was a smooth but dry writer out of the box. So be prepared to increase the ink flow a bit if you don’t want it to slowly starve itself out after a few lines. Just raise one of the tines a bit and slip a piece of thin cardboard in the nib slit and pull back out. Follow up with a nib flossing using a pice if thin brass sheet. It should write like a champ after that.

This pen is a close copy of the Leonardo Momento Zero ($199 at Goldspot pens).I got the brown color with the Moonman nib for $39.Here is what I like: - it is a beautiful pen, I love looking at it and slowly turning it to see how the light catches all the swirls in the acrylic. It looks like it a way more expensive pen. - it writes really well. I tend to use medium nibs, but this came with the fine as the only choice. I have it inked with Diamine Chocolate Brown, and it has the perfect ink flow. After not using it for a week, the first 2 or 3 letters will be a bit dry, but then its perfect. It also gives a bit of line variation, so from a writing perspective I'm totally pleased with it. - I wear large gloves for an indication of my hand size and this pen feels good in my hand. The pen is comparable in size to a Pelikan M-800. Sometimes I post my pens, and this one can be posted and does not feel unbalanced.Here is what I don't like: - its a copy, and I don't feel good about it, yet their use of the material and colors they picked made it their own work and that aspect of it allowed me to rationalize buying it. - the workmanship is a little sloppy in my pen. When I cap the pen, unless I line up the pen and cap perfectly, the threads don't engage. So sometimes capping the pen takes 2 or 3 tries. Also the blind cap although threaded has resisted all my efforts to take it off. Not a problem because I take the barrel off to fill the pen. So the overall issue is around the threads.Hope this helps in your buying decision

This pen is very handsome. It’s a perfect size for my big hands, and feels well built. However the nib is not very good. It lays down a small amount of ink, and feels scratchy. Skipping is a huge issue. I am going to try to soak the nib in a mix of room temperature distilled water and mild soap to see if there is grit from its manufacturing that needs to be washed out. If that eliminates the problem I will post more.

My pen arrived well-packaged in a nice cellophane-wrapped Moonman box with a tag and pen brochure inside, and the converter inside the pen. After I flushed the nib with a little warm water and a drop of dish detergent to remove any machine oils, then dried it and filled the pen, it writes well. I got the fine nib, and it's not scratchy but has just the right amount of feedback, as if using a pencil. The acrylic and gold tone hardware are attractive and seem well-made. Delivery time was quite reasonable. Happy so far with this purchase, and with the seller's packaging and shipping. I've also ordered an expensive Italian pen (not the one this is inspired from, but another model from that manufacturer) and I will see how the quality of this one compares to the new pen when I get it.

I am stunned.Pen is beautifully presented in a gift box that is not generic, and fits, and is of quality. The acrylic used is simply spectacular and the fit and finish exudes quality.This is s jump in price from the $20 pens, ie Jinhao 100 and Moonman 600s that I have, so i was a little nervous however the jump in finish quality is equally there.The pen wrote beautifully out of the box (Sargasso Sea by Diamine) and its build and finish quality puts my $125 Pelikan M200 to shame, and throws shade on the $400 Pelikan M600.Hihgly recommended, and a shame the range of colours is so limited

It is average, not the best, but not the worst. It is plastic, nib is average, a nice handle. For the price, it is ok.

For everyday use. Pen Looks good, feel good although slightly light for me. I dip my pens not fill them. Both nibs do well on soft papers, not as well on shiny, slick papers. Worth having or giving as gifts.
