I have wanted an m1000 for years. I have a few m800s and a m600 red tortoise that i don't use because it feels too small. I refuse to get the standard non translucent ones but renaissance brown looks stunning. If they are still selling it later this year I will 100% go for it.
Hey Karyna!! That is a beautiful pen. I’m a huge fan of two tone nibs. They are my favorite. The M1000 is a model on my list of pens I would like to get. I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from your new pen.
Congratulations! Thank you for the comparison to other pens. I would love to get the m800 but will until it comes with an ink window! I may have to wait a long time but gives me time to save those pennies!
I am also in the "Brown Ages" LOL Glad you got yours and hope it brings you as much happiness as it has me so far! I adore mine. I first put Robert Oster Tea Time in mine. I liked it, but then switched to Diamine Oxblood which I loved as well. Then Now I'm trying Diamine Ancient Copper, which I love too... lol So I have a bit of a dilemma.. I'm going to try Diamine Autumn Oak in it next to see how I like it. I got it in a fine and it's fairly wetter still for a fine. Hoping the more dry of the Autumn Oak tames the flow down just a hair, but still gives it a nice brown/orange color to match the pen kind of.
@@KarynaLovesToPlan I have Cafe Crema and put it in my M800 Renaissance Brown, it works good in there. I still need to buy Lie de The!! I've wanted that ink for ages, I heard it's more dry though so I held off. I'm just going to do it though because I love tea haha! I also have steeped umber by FWP, but there is no way to get the M1000 in that bottle opening. I might get another Pineider traveling inkwell just for my M1000 once I figure out what ink I want in it.
this is such a gorgeous pen! i hope you get a lot of good writing out of it! i had a pelikan once and it was actually quite disappointing and i sold it, so i hope to have a better experience if i get one again!
Hello Karyna, what a great gem you acquired! Your video quality is so so good that I finally see all its beauty! Thanks for showing the pen in detail. From looking at the pics I thought it’s similar to the Estie cracked resin but it has way more depth and „glow/shine“. Hope to see this pen in action 🎉
@@KarynaLovesToPlan I saw that you sell your pens... I have thought of that too but I have separation anxiety. Some of my pens are really great purchases and I don't think I could ever part with them. That's awesome you had credit. I would have done the same thing. The buy is so worth it.
YAY! Thanks so much for sharing this! I picked up this pen at the Atlas EXP sale on Discord and while it was still super expensive, it was better than the retail price lol. I also inked this up with RO Australis Rose and it was so wet that it looked like a double broad. it is only a FINE! I tried again with Taccia Tsuchi and it is almost perfect. And I have written with it every day, but it sings! So I am going to get it ground down to an EF at the SF pen Show. I never thought I would love Brown as much as I do right now.🤎🤎🤎
@@KarynaLovesToPlan to be fair, ANY M-1000/1005 is special, this one just has some extra pizazz 😉 for those of us who enjoy the lovely browns throughout the body of this pen. STUNNING Karyna, again congratulations. Enjoy your pen, I’d love to hear all your thoughts about it more in detail.
Love, love, love the M1000 ❤! Mine arrived beginning of June and is now inked up with Colorverse Brunch Date. Not the intended ink, I mixed my inks up when filling the pens 😂. But it is still a wonderful writer. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy!
Beautiful pen, I have the M800 version and of course the metal work is slightly different. The M1000 is very nice. I write a bit more slowly when using my M1000 because the nib is so wet.
I have the classic green-black version of the M1000 with a fine nib… it has so much bounce it easily goes up to a broad stroke. I love the huge nib, but for every day writing I prefer my M800 in blue-black with an EF nib. Enjoy your pen and thanks for sharing - let us know how you like it when it has been ground down. 😊
I've been thoroughly enjoying my M1000 Renaissance Brown since I received it a couple of weeks ago - I likewise went with the EF nib, not seriously expecting to to be extra fine, and was not disappointed. I have the M815 Metal Striped in Medium, and to be honest my natural handwriting is a bit too small for the line width that nib produces - feels lovely but the end result is borderline illegible. I tried to buy the M800 Brown-Black a few years back, but missed out - so eventually I went with this instead. For checking ink levels, I use the flashlight on my phone - it's slightly annoying, but it works well enough.
I'm like you - my writing is so tiny that broader nibs just look like big puddles of ink. And thanks for the tip with checking the ink levels with my flashlight!
Pelikan: Hey do you want a beautifull and obnoxious M1000? Karyna: Only an EF-full! Pelikan: **pulls out C O M I C A L L Y L A R G E E X T R A F I N E**
I have the 2017 M800 Renaissance Brown. İt is a beautiful pen but personally not enough to tempt me to get the M1000 version. And besides I have enough M1000s as it is. But if they ever brought back the M1000 version of the Grand Place they had in 2016 as an M800, I might have a harder time passing on it. Eventhough I have the m800 one. To be honest though, I stoped getting Pelikan pens for a while now. You mentioned the misaligned nib on yours; I have had sooo many babys bottom problem with Pelikan pens it’s ridiculous at this point. Contrary to you, I enjoy broader and wetter pens. So Pelikan seems to be a great match to me, but at those price points they need to have waaay better QC. I’ll have to say I had amazing nibs from the brand as well. And when they write properly right out of the box, they are a pure FP joy. Still I don’t intentionaly look out for Pelikans anymore unless something truly special catches my eye. And they do come along every now and then😊 thankfully not very often though. I’m glad to hear you will have the opportunity to get this wonderful pen ground to your liking in person. The M1000 is a great pen to have in such a beautifully curated collection as yours and I hope it brings you some FP joy every time you write with it 😊
@@kschmidt1967 That’s unlucky but not too surprising unfortunately. Although it seems you got the very bad end of things. İf you ever get another Pelikan may I suggest you buy through a dealer that tunes nibs before sending it to you. I tend to prefer Pen Venture or Appelboom for myself. But there are many retailers in the US who will give this service as well. And most of them will be without extra charge. It’ll just take a little longer to get to you. It’s well worth it in my opinion
@@muallaemine good advice. For now, I’ll stick with OPUS 88 and Leonardo’s which so far have never needed tuning out of the box. Esterbrook’s are 50/50.
Thanks for your comment! The misaligned nib may have also been me flexing it too much, but again, an easy fix. I got it ground to a Needlepoint by Kirk Speer this weekend and it's got such great feedback and is still so wet and juicy that it feels more like a regular Fine! I love it!
Love this pen. Random Q as you mentioned reselling… I have been down the rabbit hole just over a year & would like to start making more considered purchases. How much approximately should I sell a used pen in good condition from its original price? e.g. 50%?
Hi Karyna! Been watching your videos for a couple of months now and really love them! This pen has been on my wish list and I’m planning to buy it soon. But the nib quality issues have been a concern for me. Wondering if I buy this pen in a local retail shop and check the nib right there, do you think it’s possible to reduce the quality risk down to the minimum? Just in case if this pen would have any nib quality issues that you are unable to spot before long sessions of writing? Thanks!
I always recommend trying a pen out if you have the opportunity to. The nib quality on this M1000 is not bad - it is amazing. But Pelikan nibs are known to be very wet and broad. Not a bad thing, but something to be aware of.
It looks great, but I wonder if this pen can be a daily workhorse with such a flexy bouncy nib. My Montblanc 149 with its hard nib is a perfect daily user for long writing sessions. The M1000 strikes me as more of a signature pen. Am I wrong?
Love the loook of your printing! My goodness you are like a machine! An artist! You are amazing.
Haha, thanks! I try to write legibly!
I did this with the Stresemann M1005 and felt the same excitement. Years later, it’s still my favorite pen. Enjoy it in good health!
I have wanted an m1000 for years. I have a few m800s and a m600 red tortoise that i don't use because it feels too small. I refuse to get the standard non translucent ones but renaissance brown looks stunning. If they are still selling it later this year I will 100% go for it.
I knew I was not going to go for a "regular" M1000 and the price point on this was not as bad as some of the other M1000's out there!

Thank you Lisa!!!!!!!
Congratulations. I hope you enjoy your M1000 as much as I enjoy my KoP.
Now that I've had it ground to what I want by Kirk, I think I will! So excited!
Kop is a wonderful pen!
Yay! It's stunning and a beautiful addition to your collection. Cheers! 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
It does write like a medium. It’s super juicy. I love it. That ink color is so pretty.
I've now had it ground to a Needlepoint by Kirk Speer and it's just perfect!

I got this as my first M1000 also because the all black and black/green never appealed to me, and my word is it wonderful.
Agreed - if I was going to splurge on an M1000, I thought it needed to be this one!

So hard to choose a perfect ink - maybe there isn't such a thing!

It was quite a broad and juicy nib for an EF that I had to get it ground to a Needlepoint to make it usable for everyday.
The only nibs I love more than this one are the Custom Urushi 30 and Namiki Emperor 50.
Have not tried those before and probably won’t in my lifetime. Thank you!
Misaligned tynes on M1000 Renaissance Brown? It should have been tested before being shipped to the customer, imo.
Yes! But I wonder if I also may have pushed it too far when I flexed it.
Love M1000s, but not this design snd color. Thanks for the video!
No problem! Everyone has different tastes and what you don’t like I love!
I changed my mind and ordered this pen, partly because of your video! Just waiting for it to arrive. @@KarynaLovesToPlan
