Montblanc x Fritz Schimpf Special Edition Italic Edge
Montblanc’s superb Bespoke Nib program has consistently set the highest standards in nib craftsmanship wherein subtle details of workmanship yield a world class writing experience.
Discerning customers over the years have expressed interest in having a comparably specialized Meisterstück with a broad yet versatile nib embodying excellence in precious metal artistry.
With the arrival of the Montblanc x Fritz Schimpf Special Edition Italic Edge fountain pen, connoisseurs of fine writing will be delighted to find that their wishes have finally become reality.
The Montblanc x Fritz Schimpf Special Edition Italic Edge has been developed from the iconic platinum-coated Montblanc Meisterstück 149 equipped with a highly sophisticated Italic nib.
The Au 750 18K gold nib has a state-of-the-art nib face, which was created after an intensive creative exchange with Montblanc’s respected nib design team in Hamburg.
With a vertical stroke width of approximately 1.40 mm and a horizontal stroke width of approximately 0.30 mm, the Italic Edge nib is particularly well-suited for larger, more spacious handwriting.
It’s a nib which writes with remarkable fluidity, providing clear line variation between the vertical and horizontal strokes, thereby highlighting the graceful uniqueness of each individual’s handwriting.
Thanks to its perfectly rounded edges, the Italic Edge glides smoothly and is thus a nib which affords exceptional writing pleasure when used with high quality ink and paper.
When the nib is shifted by approximately 75° degrees to the left onto its edge, it offers an extra-fine stroke width suitable for notes or annotations in a small font size.
With a little practice, users may discover a variety of line widths with crisp edges which are possible by varying the angle of the nib edge relative to the paper surface.
Fritz Schimpf would like to warmly thank Montblanc for this third collaborative project. The knowledge, technical skills and rich experience of Montblanc's nib masters have made the Italic Edge possible.
The Montblanc x Fritz Schimpf Special Edition Italic Edge piston fountain pen is limited to 100 pieces worldwide, which are exclusively available from Fritz Schimpf in Tübingen, Germany.
