How to Make A Mont Blanc Pen ! Cheap to Free!

ESTEBAN DI MASI X PRODUCTION

How to Make A Mont Blanc Pen ! Using a Pilot G2 10 and Mont Blanc ink you can make a really really good pen for everyday use and without worrying about losing it or getting it stolen! Ok don't get me wrong a REAL one is better but I'm from Los Angeles, California and went to public school, so I know better then to show off a real one. My solution is just to improvise, I own a real one already (and want to keep it that way) and saving up for a 146 Le Grand Fountain, so depending on your circumstances I would invest on a real one(s). Either way, neither are disappointing, enjoy.

@iMaKeUsHoOk They are resin, which is similar to plastic, I don't really like paying that sort of money for something made entirely out of what's basically the same as a biro (although in a much nicer shape). I particularly dont like that most pen companies call it precious resign, even though there's nothing precious about it beyond the design its moulded into. There are options though, you should look into a Graf Von faber-castell classic either a fountain pen or rollerball, similar price to

I actually did this for the first time today after watching your review, that's why I compared the different rollerballs...but now I'm thinking about buying an actual MB rollerball pen lol they look amazing...are they made of plastic or metal? My meisterstuck 149 (the fountain pen) is like a very delicate plastic, but with a roller i might be more flimsy with it, so I'm hoping it's a solid structure

You can do that for Waterman refills too. Also, the DJB rollerball pens use G2 refills so you can do what I do and have a cheap yet fancy looking rollerball body with the Montblanc roller in it. Truth be told, though, the MB refills are overpriced, even their fountain pen inks. Their pens are great, but their inks are average IMO. You should try a Cross rollerball if you like writing, it's a mix of gel and liquid ink...probably the best writer I have for rollerball pens. Thanks for posting!

@Tsuyame15 Yes, there is a hobby with pens, especially fountain pens. Not the same crap in the video, but it is a genuine and rather expensive hobby that goes together with calligraphy. Why is having a passion on something is creepy anyway? Are people that plays football as a hobby creepy as well? Afterall, it is only a ball that you throw and kick around. How about those that collect antiques for not just a hobby but made a living out from it?

I'll put some Mont Blanc ink into my cheap Noodler's flex fountain pen pen and there! I have a $14 Mont Blanc fountain pen! HAHAHAHAHA

@CanItAlready LOL its a fucking pen XD Wow I didnt know there was a hobby with pen... creepyyy

Does this really make a difference? Expensive fountain pens make sense as they can range from stainless steel nib to 14k gold but a rollerball will always just be a rollerball

Fountain pens are the better option in general, but for a quick and easy rollerball pen writing like a $500 pen, this works very well.

I'll stick to my Pilot Vanishing Point fountain pen with Montblanc Mystery Black as a closer approximation, though.

@DimasiMr2 thanks for this great show & tell. my sister & i were just talking about her wanting a good rollerball pen. the cost of the mont blanc is prohibitive, but this solution is perfect for her. me too!

Personally, I always figured that anyone went for a high end ball-point or rollerball was more interested in the bling factor than anything else. As far as I can tell, they don't really write any better than a $10 version of the same sort of pen. Now fountain pens are a somewhat different story.
