Makralon is NOT plastic. It is a resin-infused fiberglass composite, a sophisticated, attractive material.
Once again, Massdrop demonstrates it does know what it's talking about.

You are 100% right, from an industrial chemistry perspective. But when the average bear hears "plastic," they think of cheap, low-impact styrene or the like.
The dismissive tone of the Massdrop description, which made it sound like Makrolon is crap, was what I was targeting. I doubt their copywriter has a clue.
That said, I really appreciate the clarification and detail you provided!!

Jacobus57It's a fiberous type of material. Very light. The pen is bottle fill only, no converter no cartridge.

"tightening the piston knob at the end, gently harnessing gravity to get the job done."
First of all it's turning the piston and second it's vacuum which does the job, not gravity. Gravity actually works other way.

AventadorWow, you actually *read* that dribble? Well, he *could* be filling the pen upside down, but then gravity would be doing way more that just filling the pen. 😈

Hey MD, Herr Müller was born in 1932. Bauhaus ceased operations in 1933. If he were a founder, he’d be a baby genius.
That part about harnessing gravity while filling ink makes you look like an idiot.
We have helped you point out these errors in the past in the hopes you would correct them, and make your site look good. Why won’t you act on them? Don’t you care? Well I do, and frankly it’s insulting.

Perfect... I appreciate you taking the time to do that. It is definitely saturated- not red or brown, exactly :) Like it !

How does this one compare to the black Lamy 2000? In terms of design, feeling etc., as I suppose they use the same nib.

I fully agree with you, with the only exception that I find Makrolon even more prone to scratches. That said, I would no doubt go for the Makrolon version. The steel 2k was designed to be the higher-end version of the already not cheap regular 2k, and I imagine Lamy wanted to keep a certain continuity with their already on sale line of steel pens (St, Linea etc.). Still, if this was really supposed to be Lamy's trademark fountain pen, I would have made it with a more exotic metal. Maybe not an expensive one (gold, platinum, palladium etc., some of which are already covered by certain versions of Lamy pens) but at least titanium or some other lightweight alloy of aluminum, magnesium or something like that. I would have certainly found appropriate for a pen by Lamy to be made with such a material. Still, this is a wonderful pen, the nib alone justifies its price. I'd still take the Makrolon version over this one though, but that's only my personal taste!

AlexGkThank you for the information. I got the EF Makrolon after reading your post. It is beautiful pen with very unique texture and color. At half the price if this stainless one, I am very happy with the pen.

Guys, this is a stunning pen. Buy it immediately.
Not only does it annihilate the Dialog 3 in terms of writing and build quality: I prefer it to my Caran d' Ache Varius China Black Gold ( http://store.carandache.com/uk-en/1353-china-black-gold ) to such an extent that I had to send the Varius off for a regrind to Italic because it just didn't have any place in my collection anymore after I purchased the Lamy 2K.
I have three pens that beat this pen. One is an Aurora Leonardo DaVinci. The second is a Visconti Jacques DeMolay. The third is a MontBlanc Albert Einstein. Any one of those cost more than ten times what this does.
What more can I say? Buy this pen.

I do indeed wish you luck. It's beyond my capabilities to disassemble these Aurora pens, so I keep mine safely on my desk and out of my briefcase...
Out of curiosity, have you had the opportunity to compare the Kona to a Sailor nib? I don't own any Sailor pens, but they seem superb - in their writing characteristics, though I'm less a fan of their bodies.

yiriDespite loving japanese nibs (also due to my small handwriting) I'm still lacking a Sailor pen in my collection too. I've been holding back for the Realo versions, but now that they're out I find myself way over budget. I've visited a pen show and a couple of nice shops recently, and the Kona wasn't the only pen I brought home. ;)
Still, I've had some experience with Sailor nibs, as a friend of mine is a hardcore enthusiast of both classic black/gold schemed pens and japanese ones, so you might imagine he owns at least a couple of Sailor(s) :). I can vouch for the smoothness of their nibs, at least the 21kt version. It is indeed buttersmooth, and I'm talking Visconti's Dreamtouch 23kt Pd levels. Still, and don't take my words for granted (I have had the Kona for just about a week, while the last time I tried a Sailor was seven months ago), I find the Kona to be even smoother. I'm almost certain that this is due to the nib sizes: the Sailors I tried were both F, as are my Visconti (that a very kind guy in Visconti's repair shop in Florence tweaked to my liking (subtopic: yes, I've been there, and I drool everytime I recall my visit)) and the Pilot Décimo I commonly use at college. The Kona has a medium nib, and the ink flow advantage is pretty clear while writing with it. Should I have the chance to try a Sailor medium, sorry, broad nib (japanese standards :) I'll come back to you!

While a bit more expensive than the first drop of these, the price is still completely worth it.
I seriously recommend this pen, just be warned: its heavy and isn't for everyone. The Makrolon version is quite a bit lighter and has made it into my daily writers.
To Massdrop: You need to open up international shipping again on these. I want another!

mns68Wow that's a great deal! I've been really happy with their deals so far, they have this drop on offer for $200 plus free shipping, not sure if it will be too heavy for me, I do like the Aion though and people say they're comparable, thoughts?

TomaCzarI got the medium nib version from amazon when it was about $160. Now I'm not sure I made a good choice. The M nib makes everything I write pretty hard to read. Despite being fairly wide (at least to me), the 2000 also writes wet. It /feels/ wonderful when writing, but I guess I write too small.
I have a Lamy Studio with a steel EF nib and I much prefer reading my writing with it, even though I like writing with the 2000 more (not to say the studio isn't very comfortable, just not quite as fun to write with as the 2000). One of these days I'm going to try to get Lamy to swap the nibs for me.

TipsyMacScotchslurpenGo to a nibmeister to grind down the nib for you; it shouldn't cost more that $30
