    Great review! For your information the Mag 1000 is on pen chalet, on sale, with F, M, and B nibs in black and rustic red ebonites and 9 colourful acrylics. Just ordered the red ebonite with broad nib in part because of this review. Thanks so much!

    1215 is the year that the Magna Carta was agreed to by King John of England.
    That IS a big nib! Thanks, Stephen.

    WOW! That pen looks like it ate all of the Sheaffer no nonsense pens fountain and ball point. By the way, Shaquille O' Neil called and he wants his mag 1000 back. Now that's a fountain pen! Nice video as always Dr.Brown.

    There's also the Kanwrite Mammoth with a #9 nib that's reasonably affordable.

    Love the idea of all these pens with bigger nibs. I have a few with number 8 size nibs and I think they work well for me, a left handed underwriter.

    Remember Stephen, Pelican Edelstein ink is quite dry. It might be best to try a wetter ink before adjusting those tines - try an Iroshizuku and see how you get on. It is a 'fine writing' pen after all.

    As I hold most of my pens on the barrel or at the barrel end of the section this might be one pen where I might find it comfortable to hold it at the section.

    It's almost a novelty pen with that no 10 nib. I like big pens, and I'd like to try this one, but if I had the money I'd prefer a Namiki. Size 8 nibs are plenty big enough for me.

    • @blaiseutube
      @blaiseutube 10 місяців тому

      Lol, yeah well $410 a lot of money. honestly, it's getting close to namiki territory.
      For a bit more, you get a gold nib AND namiki's insane build quality.

    Have you eyedroppered it?
    mag1000 looks like a Waterman 20, but my mag600 is a terrible eyedropper -- so wet it bleeds when only half the ink is gone, worse than any other eyedropper I have.
    But mag1000 is ebonite like the Waterman & Namiki, and I wonder if that'd eyedropper better?

    I was surprised that with such a huge nib it doesn’t flood the page with ink. It’s interesting to use but I do use mine daily.

    For me, I have average size hands. I have found a #8 nibs to be close to the edge for me. I do have a King of Pen which I think would be close to a #9 or a #8.5. That pen is at the limit.
    I think I would pass on it. Buying one just to sell it off because it would be unusable would be a waste of money.
    If you have a King of Pen, you can eyedropper fill it. I wouldn't let the ink sit in the pen for months as the ink may do something to the gold on the threads but I found it to be a lovely writer.

    Wait just a minute here. You compared the size of this pen to a metropolitan. You compared it to a Namiki Emporer. Very common pens to compare with. But you skipped your chance to finally have a pen that could be compared to your Conway Stewart!!!

    Is definitely not worth US$400 or whatever you mentioned! It's a no character big dumb pen in my opinion! Besides, the nib writes like Sh*t from what I can see with no tuning from the factory. Btw, the Japanese Platinum fountain pens have that heart shaped nib hole on a much much nicer looking nib! Not sure if Magna Carta copied it from the Japanese!

    Clearly you have a great knowledge of fine fountain pens. Your reviews are helpful and informative. However, I would respectfully suggest that the silliness and cute remarks detract from your ability to educate.
