Pelikan M205 Fountain Pen - Apatite (Special Edition)

Now I understand what all the fuss is about.

It seems that every time someone mentioned Pelikan pens, there was an out pouring of enthusiasm from owners about how wonderful every aspect of these pens are. I figured this looked like a good "entry level" Pelikan, and the color is very much to my liking, so being a fan of piston pens in general, there was nothing for it - I had to try it, and I'm glad I did. Now I can join in the out pouring of love for these wonderful pens.

My first Pekikin

This pen is my first Pelikin. I have several Pilot pens that I love, and I wanted my next pen to be a different brand. This pen was on sale. I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, I was pleasantly surprised! The pen is beautiful and the fine point nib writes so smoothly. This is one of my favorite pens, and I will be adding more Pelikins to my collection.

I've had this pen for about two weeks now. I love writing with it! The other fountain pens I own are Kawecos, and a Sheaffer I bought a million years ago (I was in high school!) This Pelikan is the most comfortable, I think. The material feels durable and pleasing to touch, and it's nice and light—I can write for a long time without getting tired holding it (not all my pens have this quality). I got the fine nib, and it's a little bit thicker than I would have preferred, but that's not a big deal. I really like the color of the pen. It's more of an emerald green than how the product shot looks on my monitor. Overall, really happy with it!
