Dear all, Last December I purchased what I was thinking would be the "grail" of my modest collection - a Nakaya Maki-e folding screen of flowers. This was available with an M-Flexible nib and it did write well indeed yet nothing extraordinary. After just a few days of use it also became somehow inconsistent in terms of ink flow. This could be due to my limited knowledge... yet it was not writing better or more fluently that a Graf von Faber Castell Anello Wood. Yesterday I purchased a Montblanc Master for Meisterstück l'Aubrac with M Nib and I am totally impressed. The writing performance is just outstanding and, also in terms of feedback and fluidity on the paper no comparison with my Nakaya Maki-e with M Flexible Nib. I have just finished a review with several photos and comparison that I plan to publish on my blog soon. Before doing that I was wondering if I could post the link to the review on this forum OR if I have to write a review on the forum e.g. if links to a review blog are not allowed. As another side question I was wondering if you own a Montblanc with a similar nib and a Nakaya and what is your experience with both ? I appreciate that Nibs can be changed, customised etc. but from a out of the box experience (which I think one has the right to expect at this price level) there is, in my opinion, a big gap. Thanks for sharing your view and letting me know about the review posting etiquette Best Regards Christian.
