MonteverdeMONZA FOUNTAIN PEN (WITH INK VIALS), CRYSTAL CLEAR; FLEX NIB

This pen is awesome! I love the amount of flex I get from the nib, which is subtle, considering an Omniflex is a semi-flexibke nib, but noticeable especially if you use an ink with good shading properties. i love doodling with it, once you find the "sweet spot," as is the case with every pen I've ever used, the ink flows wonderfully, and my hand doesn't cramp at all when I get lost in a drawing. I have only filled it once, as I went with the eyedropper method rather than filling a converter constantly, and despite using Noodler's Black Swan in English Rose, which is bulletproof, I've had no clogs; after a few days of breaking it in, no hard starts, either. It's a nice pen that's fun to play around with, I honestly can't see why it's so poorly rated. Is it as nice as my Incincia Vega? Nowhere near as smooth, but it's not built to be an everyday writer, it's built to be a fun, quality alternative to break the monotony.

In no universe could this be considered a flex tip. It’s quite literally a $3 Jinhao pen sold for 6x the price with a mediocre nib. For the same price, get a Jinhao x750 and Nikko G nibs for a usable flex pen.

Tinta no corre bien.

Sure the flex nib might not be the flexiest, but it is bow my new favorite pen, and it works well. I think it is a great pen, although the nib felt a tiny bit scratchy at first, I think it is getting better over time.

The top of the pen cap broke off even though I have never clipped it onto anything, it lives in a nice pen case in a desk drawer. Superglue will not adhere to allow me to reaffix the cap. The bib still writes well but the pen now feels out of balance in my hand. I guess “lightweight” does equal cheap in this case. I won’t be ordering this pen again.(Previously) This is a very lightweight pen and right out of the box that made me think I wouldn’t like it. It was nice to be wrong. The nib is one of the smoothest writers in my collection. I use the converter and fill easily directly from my Ink Miser or bottle. I will likely purchase this pen again in another color.

Pen had cracks at the threads (Even had a note in the case about it so it was shipped out broken) and therefor could not be used as a dropper fill, and after the first fill the threads started breaking off so it's basically trash. DO NOT ORDER.

This is a fairly decent fountain pen for the discounted price. Basic pen with a fairly good assortment of accessories including 2 ink cartridges, 2 2ml vials of ink, a 4ml pipette for filling the pen and a converter along with the plastic case that it is all set in. Again, nothing glorious, but a decent pen at a fair price with some accessories. I like to use these pens made of see-through colored plastic to identify the color of the ink that I fill them with; red - red ink...green - green ink.

Pen body construction and accessories are good for the price but the most important thing, the nib, it's an absolute garbage. I had to spend a lot of time aligning the tines and grinding it to make it a barley passable writer.If you want to try a Monteverde fountain pen, jump directly to an Invincia, 3 to 4 times the cost but totally worth it on that model.
