[pansipotter]

Flushed my Collodi and filled it with my new MB Meisterstück Diamond Blue ink.

 

 

What is the Collodi like when full of ink? I got to handle one yesterday at MB counter and was disappointed how light it felt. The lid is exquisite and I liked the brown colour of the pen but expected it to be heavier - I like heavy pens!

 

It is a gorgeous looking pen, though.

Today I have been using my early 90s MB149 with MB midnight blue ink. Along the with the other 3 I listed earlier in this thread!

I'd say it's still pretty light. I tried several different pens and really liked the Faulkner (I think it's heavier) and the Thomas Mann (definitely heavier, a bit too much or me). I kept going back to the Collodi, a really nice writer for me and that's the one I bought. After almost 3 months, I've grown quite attached to it. I have a fine nib on mine.

 

On topic: I'm using a Collodi with Akkerman Bekakt Haags.

If you like heavier pens than you have to try the Mann at the boutique.

I also have the Mann and that one is definitely heavier AND it can be posted (with no risk of drop-off).

 

I have changed the Collodi from M to B. And it is a wonderful writer. The nib is stubbish and smooth and the pen is long enough without posting the cap. (Medium to large hands).

[Tom Aquinas]

I always come back to this pen, as it's one of the sharpest writers I have.
