[@SamuelNaldi]

Which Pen Models do you think i missed and are absolute Must-Haves?

[@MM-sy8pl]

Parker duofold.

[@wesleywalker1594]

Platinum 3776 collection- reasonably priced and very reliable pens

[@octaviustjiantoro554]

Jinhao 9019 ?? Hahaha😂

[@gvnady8380]

Pineider La Grande Bellezza, or any with the 14k gold quill nib, not a flex nib but bouncy and wet

[@ДмитрийУфимский-х4к]

Parker 51

[@carolyncoppola974]

Thank you so much! I feel so educated now. I’m actually impressed as a few of these are on my bucket list anyway. I never really thought about being a real “collector”. I just collect what I like and will use. But Now, I can start saving towards some of these pens and up my pen collection game! Thank you so much!!!! God bless you!

[@SamuelNaldi]

So happy to hear Carolyn! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@simonkennedy5899]

Thanks Angie for your time, really appreciate the interview Sam.

[@cashingoutcasinos]

stunning collection! enjoyed the video very much, now I have a few new pen ideas.

[@SamuelNaldi]

So glad to hear! 🙏🏼

Errata Corrige: Namiki Nr. 50 is 2’300.00 CHF, not 620.00 CHF

Guys you gotta chill on the Emperor, i’m getting e-Mails and WhatsApps. It’s obvious that it can’t be 😂❤

[@AndrewWertheimer]

J’ai cru que cette prix est comment est ce q’on dit “typo” en francais.

[@TheRacerRich]

Let's see, of these I have 149 in flex, Leman, MB Le Grand, Optima, M1000, Lamy 2000 Black Amber, GvFC Classic, and Custom Urushi. Next I think will be the Line D.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Very cool! 🙏🏼

Plaisir de t’avoir ici! 🙏🏼

[@maximilianschwab9668]

Beautiful collection, I am not a fan of just three of the brands you presented today, the rest I REALLY love. I have some of them in my collection. Always a pleasure to watch your content, thank you very much for it!

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thank you Maximilian. Which are the three brands you personally don’t like?

[@arlenet.1520]

Hi Sam! This was an absolutely amazing video! This pen newbie had 50% of your selections on my wish list so I think I know how to build my collection now. Now can you redo the video backwards but faster? Lol! It was very informative and you went through it all in record time…thank you!

[@SamuelNaldi]

So so glad you liked it! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@markcotter2931]

Well, if I win the lottery, I know what I need! The Dorsal Fin Nakaya is the one I really want..

[@SamuelNaldi]

🙏🏼

[@captainkjub]

Wonderful pieces Samuel, thank you!

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thanks Kuba! 🙏🏼

[@tango_gru]

Very Nice recommendations... thanks for compiling the list. Might buy a few of them in future

[@SamuelNaldi]

My pleasure!

[@heinkle1]

It’s telling how much the Parker Pen brand has declined that the iconic Parker Duofold Centennial didn’t make your list

[@SamuelNaldi]

Unfortunately they’re currently not where the brand deserves to be. Surely a Duofold remains a classic, and we hope to see the brand back we’re it should be.

[@milchpuder]

Beautiful collection! I'd add a Leonardo (Momento Zero Grande) and Platinum (Izumo)

[@SamuelNaldi]

Izumi would be a great addition indeed! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@focusers1]

The price for the Emperor (Namiki No. 50) was shown as 659. Is that correct? I have not seen the pen listed for less than $2,000.

[@SamuelNaldi]

That was a big mistake indeed. 😂 i have rectified in the comment section.

[@yisongyang5164]

U are living in my dream world sir Naldi!❤

[@SamuelNaldi]

[@alihajjar8]

Very satisfying video. We want the limited edition collection video too plz 🔥🔥🔥

[@SamuelNaldi]

Hahaha, yes indeed coming soon. 🙏🏼💪🏼

[@MarzioMassari]

I hope to see it soon too. I'm enjoying this channel I discovered just days ago. (Yes, I joined the channel)

[@SamuelNaldi]

@@MarzioMassari thank you Marzio. I’m really happy to hear.

[@AndreasJankeEU]

I personally don't need the black cigar (or any other) Montblancs but I really like your suggestions. I think you could add four must haves: a Lamy Dialog 3 and one of the Pilot Capless fountain pens, because they are iconic in the retractable class and fun to use. I don't know when and why it started to be forgotten, but I personally think that a Parker Duofold should be part of any collection and that at least one Parker 51 levels a conglomeration of fountain pens up to a collection.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Dear Andreas. Thanks for sharing your opinion. You are right, Parker Duofold definitely is another Must. Unfortunately Parker isn’t where it deserves to be right now and therefore they are highly under the Radar. Hopefully the brand will rise and shine again.

[@bovnycccoperalover3579]

I have some Parker's. When did they go downhill. All were bought before 2002. My first was Water man Phileas. I know it's entry level but as my first pen, it has sentimental value.

[@fyfesandy3491]

Parker 51 vaccumatic - Dylan Thomas had one - so should you!

[@kimradefeld4152]

Love your selection of “must have” pens

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thank you much Kim! 🙏🏼

[@laureldeardorff5075]

Beautiful presentation!

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thanks Laurel

[@christoferandersson5294]

I subscribed haha! Like your channel, very inspiring. 😊 any thoughts on MB le grand in ”ultra black” edition? I got my hands on a rollerball ultra black. Are the ultra black sought after?

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thank you so much for su subscribing. you did so after my “ad” mid video? 😂 Love the Ultra Black. Not immensely sought after, but potential to be.

[@christoferandersson5294]

KZbin recomendations got me here so I subscribed 😊 fun to hear!

[@endederfahnenstange4283]

Platinum President (IMHO the Platinum nibs are better and softer than Sailor) and Lamy Imporium are missing.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thanks for sharing your opinion ❤

[@shaakirbuzrook9863]

I was always under the impression that MB was expensive. But looking at list you’ve provided. Compared to the other pens. MB kinda looked cheap 😅 Either way, love pens. Recently started getting into pens. Started with a parker.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thanks for watching and glad to know you’re into pens. 🙏🏼

[@cashingoutcasinos]

Yeah they are fairly middle ground for being luxury items.

[@cmcmc7647]

Very interesting ! I have the Lamy and the Visconti they are great ! After I’ll go for a MBlanc !

[@SamuelNaldi]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@nicolasmikah4168]

Hi Samuel, I’m still stuck with the montblanc brand. One question though, I have none of the fountain pens in Fine nib, most in medium, I like your opinion on fine this. I have my eye on the Muhammad Ali new pen, but only available in fine nib so far.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Montblanc is great. One day you’ll start with the other one. I personally prefer fine nibs as they are great for journaling and to have a very precise looking writing. It’s up to you at the end and what your need are. However i love Fine Nibs.

[@bobford7366]

Once you go Japanese you won't go back!

[@zachmeade3732]

Great video. My favorite pens these days are the MontBlanc Great Character

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thanks for sharing that Zach!

[@gihanzohdy3284]

These are all creme de la creme fountain pen models. From experience, because I happen to own them, I love the Sailor KOP in urushi lacquer because it has a nib whose quality is out of this world, I love my Pelikan 1000 because of its hansome, elegant and juicy nib, and the S.T. Dupont Line D whose nib is absolutely excellent beside the fact that it is a pen of very singular beauty, taste and elegance. Now to respond to your question I would add Leonardo Momento Zero Grande and the English brand Yard O'Led.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thanks so much for sharing all of this Dear Gihan!

[@iskalar1382]

is the Namiki no 50 price right?

[@SamuelNaldi]

Nooo, that was an obvious mistake. Wrote an Errata Corrige in the comments. 🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@iskalar1382]

@@SamuelNaldi sorry, my fault, I did not read all, excuse me

[@florianbuerzle2703]

Samuel, thank you so much for showing these pens 😊 The Dorsal Fin looks wonderfull, but is sadly too short for my hands (especially as it does not post). Maybe there will be a larger Dorsal Fin 3 one day….? 😂 Personally, I would add the Yard-O-Led Viceroy Grand (either Victorian or Barley) 😊

[@SamuelNaldi]

Hey Florian, the Yard-o-Led is a great suggestion! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@rajonrahmanrumi988]

3/ Lamy 2000 every day carey pen 2/ pilot custom uroshi favorite nib pen 1/ Montblanc 149 Signature pen

[@SamuelNaldi]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@MM-sy8pl]

Not only high end pens are interesting. I think most of the people start with entry level pens and keep it on their collections.

[@SamuelNaldi]

🙏🏼

[@anthonyp7873]

I'd add the Montblanc 149 Calligraphy flex 2019 or the 146 calligraphy flex (which is more commonly available)

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thanks for adding these! 👏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@herrkeks8509]

10:58 It is a bit hard to hear, but I think I heard 18k for the Lamy 2000. Some vintage Lamy 2000 had 18k gold nibs, but the newer ones are 14k. However it is easy to say 18k, when the majority of the previously shown pens had 18k nibs. :)

[@SamuelNaldi]

You are absolutely right and i thank you for pointing this out. The Lamy 2000 i have has an 18k Nib, and i keep on forgetting that the new one are 14k. Nevertheless, great Instrument. Thank you again. Valuable community we have here ❤

[@herrkeks8509]

@@SamuelNaldi Ah, I see. No worries. :) That was a great selection of pens! Indeed, the Lamy 2000 is a great pen. I actually prefer it over the Imporium. …and I may or may not have 6 Lamy 2000. Rumors you know. :) My favorite 2000 is definitely the Blue Bauhaus. Such an interesting piece. Especially with the connection to the Bauhaus art school and the Bauhaus design of the pen. And it is even dark blue.

[@Tylerdilucas]

U should try one brand called crown this is a brasilian brand with a super high-and quality. Three models that I recommend is the crown capricci, crown president, crown ebony. It's very good and fancy fontain pen from Brasil.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thanks for sharing

[@laurameszaros9547]

Very good recommendations. One that you have missed, for some reason less conspicuous amongst pen enthusiasts but a firm and leading favourite with penmeister Sbrebrown is the English company known as Yard O Led. Their Victorian Grand Connoisseur, hand crafted in solid sterling silver is Sbrebrown's greatest pen of all time. I have one myself and I agree that it is incomparably beautiful, as well as an outstanding writing experience. I think it now retails for approximately £1200, but I would recommend it to anyone. My only criticism is that it is a pretty heavy pen, so not perhaps suitable for very long writing sessions, but otherwise perfect - a real stunner.

[@jakubrys4652]

What is a reason you decided to foucs on high end fountain pens instead of broader range ?

[@DDawg1144]

I came in skeptical based on the title, but can't argue your taste in pens and agree with most of them! You missed Danitrio though.

[@smart4141]

What a wonderful video you have made @samuelnaldi … Many thanks for this. You have indeed picked the best one from most of top pen makers and included most Japanese, Italian and German…. Just one question, why Caran D’ache doesn’t make oversized pens with a #8 nib… somewhat similar to Mont Blanc 149… The day they do, I will be perhaps the first to buy it.

[@SamuelNaldi]

Thanks Dear, it’s something that i have mentioned to them and we also await an oversize Leman with a Nr. 8 Nib.

[@fossilimprint2954]

Thank you, good information.

[@DClient]

Can you make a video for your low end pens $100-$300

[@LucaMaraschi]

Quick Note…the Nakaya Dorsal Fin in the video is in fact the Nakaya Dorsal Fin v2 as there is also a Dorsal Fin (v1) which is not the one in the video ;-)

[@SamuelNaldi]

Most definitely both are a Must Brother 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@vintageswiss9096]

#24: Montblanc Mozart 114... Everyone needs a small travel pocket pen, and the 114 posts into a full-length Meisterstück. It's the best engineering Montblanc has ever come up with. Sad they discontinued it...

[@grossevernor]

the price of the Emperor seemed low. If you're selling them for 650 swiss, I'll take two. I think that a Waterman Exception could have made the list.

[@colinmcpeak8476]

So glad I found this Channel! Cant wait for a Mr. WONDERFUL Kevin O’Leary video. Also I know it’s subjective but could you do a video on refills? Parker, and rollerball, like what’s the best ones to get etc. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ! @kevinoleary
