I just picked up the 849 fountain pen (F), and even though it's much cheaper than some of my other pens, it is so nice! I absolutely love it. I went to get a permanent house for Baystate Blue but ending up getting up one for that and then another to keep using for experimenting and testing! Such a lovely pen.
The Caran d'ache shape feels so right in my hand, i really enjoy their writings instrument's. The first one I got was a lead holder, then I picked up a 5mm and 7mm mechanical pencil
I just got my rollerball in white. It fits my hand so much better than the ballpoint. The surprise is the refill is similar to the Parker and Parker style ballpoint and gel refills! I was expecting a proprietary refill or perhaps a Schmidt rollerball. Thanks for introducing me to this pen.
I think coating is different with black and red. Do you think does it make any difference with grip ? Is the silky red one less slippery on hand comparing to matte black ?
I’m surprised it took you guys so long to get to review such a iconic pen in Europe This pen Has the longest writing capacity to kilometers of ink. They have a whole range my best one is the Black body with gold top and clips looks beautiful
Ive found my people 🥰🥰 my heart is full
Thanks for your review
Yeah, I think I may need this pen. Thanks for the review. 👍

Well done!

I do prefer the matte. It is ever so slightly more "sticky"
Thanks for the discovery, was it a little skippy from time to time? Possibly from skin oils?
Definitely skin oils
I would buy one on a heartbeat. But, the website has no information on the pen.
They might not have listed them just yet - I got there just as they arrived! They're very helpful via email as well :)
@@gourmetpens I found another supplier. I chose white. I have a black 849 ballpoint and thought it would be a nice contrast.
Does this rollerball take Parker-style refills, please?
Yes. It uses exact parker style refill. You can use with parker quinkflow, schneider, schmidt etc.
Thanks for the review Azizah,
I always enjoy your reviews.
Is the size exclusive to the rollerball style? 😊
It does appear to be exclusive, at least for now! And thank you. I appreciate you being here :)
Sat it ain’t so!

I saw another person complain that after 30 pages the ink runs out.
@@muffemod Haha I saw that one too😂 Caran D'ache's ballpoint is known to be durable, not sure about the rollerball tho🥹 tempting to give it a try
