Matte Black Fountain Pens

[canibanoglu]

Well, the classic one would be Lamy 2000, it is in my opinion the best-designed fountain pen out there. I may be biased though, it is the first fountain pen that I knew I *had* to have.

 

Another one that made me go "aaaaaaah, I have to have it" is Sailor Professional Gear Imperial Black. It is a stunning pen and I really love mine.

 

Montblanc 220 is a vintage pen that borrows a lot from Lamy 2000. I don't have that one yet but it is truly a spectacular looking pen.

 

Not really fits the "matte" description but Porsche Design Tech-Flex in black is another one.

I have a Levenger L-Tech Stealth that should qualify. The end caps and clip are shiny black enamel, but the pen body and grip section are matte black.

I use frequently a sailor pro gear with naginata togi nib

Yours is much nicer than these, but I too, love matte black. Carbon fiber, too

Lamy has several in matte black: Safari, CP1, 2000, Dialog3, perhaps more.

 

But they are not stealth in being all black including nib and trim.

You can get a black nib for the Safair/cp1, so the only thing that is not black is the clip.

I have a black cp1 and it does look cool with the black nib.

The Pininfarina by Visconti is mostly matte black. I think it would look great with black trim but I don't think they offer it.

Levenger L-Tech Stealths are on sale or closeout for $49. Not bad.

 

Another option is the Rotring 600 or Newton. Usually over $100 on eBay but solid pens.

 

Parker 25's come in matte black. I like 25's but the black ones seem to be a bit pricey on eBay.

 

In general I like matte black, but they will show wear to the finish after a while (at least the metal ones). Some people think that's cool, others not so much.

Here are some of my matte black pens. These pens are out of production except as noted below, but most are readily available on eBay and other used pen market places. The Monteverde Invincia is the only one of these that has a black nib, it is a glossy black.

Just came on this thread. How about the Pilot Metropolitan? I have the one with the 'crocodile' print band near the nib section; other than that and the chrome clip it is a matte black. Can't beat the price and it writes like a pen priced at 10x the amount!

The Monteverde Invincia Nighthawk was an amazing Matte Black and Matte Carbon Fiber pen, while it was available.
