Over the years, I have reviewed most of the popular TWSBI fountain pen models there are. For an overview:

Review of the Diamond 580 here.

Review of the Eco here.

Review of the Vac 700 here.

I know I lack the “GO”-model with the spring in above list – but it is sitting here in the review stack, to be reviewed for you, soon.

Another model I haven’t yet tried was the “Eco-T”, which is basically similar (or the same as) the Eco, but with a triangular grip section similar to the one of the Lamy Safari.

I always wanted to review this pen, and see what it is all about. Finally I got around to it!

Before we hop into the review, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Nomadostore for supporting the review of this pen. You can also buy all kinds of TWSBI products in their webshop (no affiliate – just a friendly pointer).

The video is, as always, preceded by some quick facts. Again, I hope the review is helpful and that you enjoy watching it!

Video-Review: Montblanc 149 Calligraphy Curved Nib (Special Edition)

By: Scrively

Montblanc normally does quite a few special releases over the calendar year. Mostly, those releases are different designs of pen bodies.

In the recent time, however, Montblanc has also started to release special edition pens with speciality nibs, such as the MB 146 Calligraphy Flex nib – or now the MB 149 Calligraphy curved nib.

It is fantastic to see that companies such as Leonardo, Aurora, and now also Montblanc, bring back the variety of nibs that were commonplace back in the days – and that in the modern days we were only used to from specialty nib makers such as Sailor.

But let’s now have a look at what the Montblanc Diplomat 149 Calligraphy Curved nib is all about!

Before we hop into the review, I would like to take the opportunity to thank Appelboompennen for supporting the review of this pen. You can also buy the Montblanc 149 Calligraphy Curved Nib in their webshop (no affiliate – just a friendly pointer).

Check out the video-review below, which is as always preceded by some quick facts. Again, I hope the review is helpful and that you enjoy watching it!
