Is the Montblanc 149 worth it?

I really like the 149 for its large gold nib. 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.

What is the difference between Montblanc 146 and 149?

The 146 is a smaller size 149 or that’s what it looks like. The 149 is longer and wider. Somehow the size of the 149 looks more right as if this is the optimal size of this design. The 146 looks great until you put it side by side next to the 149, somehow it looks skinny and small.

Is Montblanc 149 too big?

This is a truly oversized pen, measuring in at 14.7 cm (5.78″) capped, and 13.2 cm (5.2″) uncapped. With a width of around 1.6 cm (0.63″) at the widest point, and 1.3 cm (0.51″) at the section, it’s a pretty fat pen. Because of this girth, the 149 will be a bit too large for a lot of people.
