Are Montblanc ballpoint pens worth it?
With a smooth writing experience, quality, luxury materials, a filler that allows you to use the pen for many years, and a top industry warranty, Montblanc ballpoint pens are some of the best in the market. If you simply want a good pen for everyday writing, you may want to find a different, more affordable brand.
Why Montblanc pens are so expensive?
Prices go up not just because of brand image, but for materials used, time spent on creating each piece, and uniqueness of each individual piece. For instance, a Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 149 would cost a lot, but then a Visconti Divina would cost about as much. A Namiki Maki e fountain pen may cost even more.
Why are Montblanc pens so special?
Mont Blanc has excellent nibs that have the right amount of springiness without being too boring, very comfortable to write, and because they’re made out of gold, they will easily adapt to your hand and to your writing and they will remain like that for years to come.
How do you tell if a Montblanc pen is real or fake?
With a magnifying glass or a loupe, check the clip-ring (the ring at the top of the pocket-clip). On one side of the clip in the ring, should be ‘MONTBLANC’. On the other side, should be a small, serial number, marked out in digital numerals. All authentic Montblanc pens (made recently, that is), have this marking.
What is the difference between Mont Blanc rollerball and ballpoint?
Our ballpoint pens have a twist mechanism, which protrudes and retracts the refill. The Rollerball uses liquid ink, similar to fountain pen ink. The majority of our Rollerballs have a cap, which you need to take off before writing. Closing the cap ensures that the ink does not dry up.

How do I choose a ballpoint pen?
The choice is based on personal preference and handwriting style. Unlike with rollerball pens, where you might opt for a finer nib, so the ink dries quicker, there are no restrictions on ballpoint pens. If choosing a gift for a loved one, you may also want to consider personalised options.
Is rollerball or ballpoint better?
Rollerball ink flows much more freely, producing a vivid line that’s thicker and more dynamic than most ballpoints, which makes them a great choice for writing in cards or sending a handwritten note.
