Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am pen collector with more than 100 pens in my personal collection; many by Mont Blanc. My wife bought me this pen as a gift. The primary issue with this pen is the poorly made plastic threads and their inability to hold up to "standard" use. When you contact Mont Blanc, they tell you this is "Simply normal wear and tear" and they will happily "Rebuild" the pen for $175. This occurs under normal careful use in less than 1 year. So if you buy this pen you are sigining up for $550.00 plus a charge of $175 every year plus the headache of managing a device that may fail at anytime.
On the positive side the idea is fantastic. It is a heavy pen with great balance. The pen cap screws onto the back during writing so will not fall off or damage the body during use.
For the price there are hundreds of pens better quality and with proven track records of performance. Since receiving this pen and its issues over the past 5 years I have spoken to the company 4 times with no resolution. It is now non-functional sitting in my display case where it will stay for life. Yes they market their pens to outlive their owners. This is just frankly not the case with this new line. Their quality has fallen and their service appears to be following.
