Mont Blanc MB 8856 Starwalker Fineliner

The reviews on this item are unfortunate, you are seeing 1 star reviews which were fakes, which is very unfortunate. I had a troublesome time buying this item, but once i got my hands on an AUTHENTIC starwalker, I realized it was all worth the trouble. I had to buy this pen more than once due to a counterfeit, but now that I have the real thing, I think I owe it to this item to add in a 5 star review. I originally had the black resin Starwalker, and while that pen was nice, it did not feel as premium as this item in metal and rubber. This pen is a lot heavier, and the weighty feel makes it seem more premium in the hand, specially when writing. Its perfectly balanced, and the feel of the rubber can't be described properly, you have to feel it for yourself. Its more of a soft touch finish. I think it is a much higher quality pen then the original black resin star walker. my only complaint is with the cap, the threading inside the cap is plastic, it was metal on the black resin starwalker. this is an issue because it is more prone to wear. everything else is great. don't hesitate to buy this pen. you might get a counterfeit but that applies to almost any item. just call them up and get a replacement.

I was so excited to get this pen. I had just passed a major milestone, and this was a self present... The pen had a good fit and finish, but due to comments listed, I wanted to confirm it was real. The lines on the barrels when closed didn't line up, but that is not generally mentioned as being a fake. However, the unique serial number NDL 33966L is not unique... google it... the clip has a fold at the end, and the real Mont Blanc is smooth, there was no "Made In Germany Pix" on the underside of the clip. It did have a genuine refill, and came with a roller ball refill in the box like the real ones. The Amazon CSR was very good about the refund, and was apologetic, and is sending internal communication about me receiving a fake. Unfortunately, I probably won't ever buy any Mont Blanc from Amazon, because I don't want to worry about getting a fake. 12/17/2013 - Well, I purchased another from Amazon Warehouse, and it too turned out to be a fake. It too had the serial number NDL 33966L, and also had no writing under the clip. Amazon is not an authorized retailer, but one would think that when Amazon is selling the used item, they would ensure it was genuine. They are refunding the money, but I don't think it is right for customers to have to vet their purchases to ensure they are real.

I've wanted this pen for ages. I finally built up the courage to spring for it and I can't tell you how much it has done for me. I am actually more motivated to write now that I have this and find I'm more organized. It is clearly worth it's weight in gold and I'd highly recommend it. UPDATE: Be aware of the following (really neat): when purchasing refill inks, this particular make is compatible with BOTH the Fineliner and Rollerball ink cartridges.
