Pelikan M805 – Broad Nib

If you follow me on Instagram, you already know how much I love this pen. It’s big love. Major Big Love. The love I feel for this pen may rival my Montblanc Heritage 1912. It’s serious.

I received this pen as a Christmas gift from Mr. Pentulant last year and I’m pretty sure I squeeeeeeeeed when I saw it.

It’s a beauty. Dark blue and black stripes, shiny palladium platings, two-toned 18 carat gold nib with rhodium.

More than just a pretty face, though, the Pelikan M805 is a solid and iconic pen with a long history. In fact, the Souveran line from Pelikan was launched in the 1950s (the green 400-size was the first).

This pen uses a differential piston fill system. The one thing spins faster than the other thing (read about that here). I’m not sure if that’s why – but I can tell you the mechanism is the smoothest I have experienced. It feels like things are gliding along during the fill process.

The caps screws on and can be posted. I’d say that the posting isn’t as deep as I’d like, but I feel confident that it’s not going to slip off the end. While perfect for me, I wonder if the section is long enough on this model for very large hands.

How Does The Pelikan M805 Write?

Like, omg. That’s how it writes. Seriously. I am not kidding you.

The nib is smooth without skating across the paper. I have a broad nib and it’s definitely a western broad. It’s juicy wet without laying down too much ink. I may be crazy, but I think my handwriting is improved by this pen.

Based on my experiences, I would say that if you’re a serious pen lover and you have the budget, the Pelikan M805 should be on your wish list. I know I already have my eye on another!

  40. жизнь Корги – это маленькое солнышко на четырех лапах, символ радости и беззаботности. Их забавные мордочки, неуклюжие лапки и бесконечная преданность вдохновляют меня каждый день. Их присутствие в моей жизни наполняет её теплом и светом.

  47. https://writeablog.net/larrybrown190/discover-the-benefits-of-gas-fireplaces-for-modern-homes Gas fireplaces have come a long way in terms of efficiency and safety compared to older systems. What I noticed while researching different manufacturers is that even within the same fuel type, heat distribution and control precision can differ significantly. Certain manufacturers focus on advanced controls and customizable flame settings, while others emphasize durability and simpler mechanical designs. Understanding these differences really helps when choosing a fireplace that fits both the house layout and how often it will be used during the heating season.
