Is the Pelikan m1000 worth it?
It’s not feather-light by any stretch, but the overall feel is something Pelikan clearly considered with this pen in giving it great balance and making for a great writing experience. The nib is the real star of this pen. I have never seen, much less used, a nib this large. It is a thing beauty.
How good are Pelikan pens?
