Are Montblanc Pens, overrated?

If so, what other pen makers are comparable or better than Montblanc pens?|||I have never written with a MontBlanc pen, but I have written with gold Cross pens and I don't like them. They slide in your hand and they do not write nicely. I had a boss that had a MontBlanc fountain pen and it did look nice when he signed his name with hit, but it sounded scratchy when he wrote. I personally have never written with a fountain pen that has written nice.|||I own a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck ballpoint pen. The black ink has changed in the last two years and is now more grey. It is not as strong a black and weaker in colour than a $2 pen.


I sent back my refills back to the Sydney Mont Blanc store and they have not replaced them!

The reviews read like this.....





" You really deserve this pen"





" Great Ballpoint Pen"

Stipula was the small straw that the ancient Romans used to split in sign of acceptance of a commitment
