Pelikan Souverän M1000

As much criticism as German pens often get for being overpolished(and I do find modern Pelikans way too smooth), I find vintage Montblancs and pretty much any MB Oblique grind to have really good feedback. The Sailor definitely has more, but it's almost to the point of being scratchy and not pleasant to me. Again, I like "sharp pencil" feedback, but this goes just a bit beyond that. BTW, I picked a B on this because I normally like western Ms as my go-to width, and my past experience with Japanese pens(Pilots for me-this is my first Sailor) is that I don't get along particularly well with anything smaller than a Japanese M. I know I'll probably get downvoted for this, and on the whole I do really like the pen.

I’ve tried a few higher-end pens (Sailor KOP, Pelikan M1000, Homo Sapiens,..) and I must say, the Pelikan and Sailor stand WAY above the Homo Sapiens in my opinion. Yeah sure, the Homo Sapiens is made out of a lava-resin but that’s the only thing I liked about that pen. The Pelikan was very nice but the Sailor is even a few steps higher (both still leagues above the Visconti but that’s just my opinion) I’m saying all of this while Pilot is my favorite brand btw ;) I just haven’t used the higher-end Pilot’s but I do have some vintage ones with 18k inlaid nibs which are absolutely amazing to write with!.
