Survivor Pens - Monteverde Regatta Sport

I revisit a fountain pen last discussed on September 19, 2014. How do I like the magnetic cap and the carbon fiber now?

I have never seen this pen. Love it. Thanks for sharing

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I hope this helped! It's an interesting pen, just not my favorite.

[@barbarawhipple2016]

I’m a fan of that red sweater-thanks for wearing it once again!

[@WaskiSquirrel]

Thanks! Warm weather is coming, so it will probably disappear for a few months.

I have a pen very similar to this. It's a Visconti Breeze in the color lemon. It has the magnetic cap but doesn't post magnetically. I obtained it at an excellent price, and it's a superb writer, but the color is not one I would have chosen if I had been buying a pen at retail. It's so bright. I'm surprised it doesn't glow in the dark. I imagine one day I may sell or trade it, but for now, it does make me smile at how ludicrously "loud" it is.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I have a similar Visconti Mirage (came out close to the same time as the Breeze). The loud cap is part of the obnoxious fun!

[@McAmeron089III]

Thank you for the video,Waski!

[@WaskiSquirrel]

My pleasure! While the pen was not particularly special to me, it is a perfectly good pen.

[@rinaeperron7746]

Never been a fan based on appearance. BUT, i like the way the writing looks!

[@WaskiSquirrel]

This nib writes very nicely! It's not a bad pen, just not a particular favorite.

[@honeybee4423]

Hey Mr Waski...this made me laugh so much! Your facial impression were just too funny but oddly fascinating to me. You know there is always someone out there that loves a pen you don't care for so I do hope that you manage to sell it. It writes nicely but I understand 'meh' pens are in a league of their own. I hope you find a buyer for it very soon. Thank you for the awesome video...take good care now. Sweet Blessings Mand XOXO.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

Glad you enjoyed it! I too hope to find a good home for this pen. It's perfectly good, but not for me.

[@ibpopp]

It reminds me of a garter snake, but doesn't excite my interest. Playing with the cap is like an itch you can't stop -- weirdly addictive. FWIW the click made by the ST Dupont cap is sooo beautiful. Cheers from Sassafrass Syd.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

Those clicks are very addictive...even as they annoy those around us!

[@AtomicElf1]

It reminds me of a bumblebee 🐝

[@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564]

I am attracted to the blue and white version, but the design puts me off.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I agree. I'm hoping to get this one to a good home.

[@mellow-jello]

I have the Full Carbon Regatta, and it is one of my doomsday pen, if I find myself in survival mode. It can also double as a stabbing weapon, lol. Pairs well with my FC Essentio & Ritma CF pens. Lmk I don't mind taking off your hands if it is a giveaway, as I am a Game of Death, Bruce Lee fan.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I have an actual tactical fountain pen (revisit coming this fall). So that's my doomsday pen. I didn't know there was ever a full carbon version of this pen!

[@Rgc571]

I have three Monteverde pens, a Prima, Innova with carbon fiber, and a Ritma that was a gift. All are good writers but the Ritma took some time to adapt to the section. The Ritma magnet failed and I was very happy with Monteverde in replacing it. The Regatta styling is not appealing to me. Thanks for the video.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

Of your list, I've only used the Prima. It was a perfectly good pen. Good to know Monteverde stood behind their product!

[@christophermckellar1352]

Dude! You can be scary. I hope your hand is mending well. Thanks for the review.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I'm not sure what you mean about my hand? But I'm glad you enjoyed the review and I hope I didn't scare you too much.

[@christophermckellar1352]

@@WaskiSquirrel I thought I saw a post that said you had damaged your right hand and wouldn’t be posting for a while. I had assumed this one was already in the works. Glad I made the mistake! I wonder what in the world I saw. Continue in health!

[@MrAndrew1953]

The Regatta is one of my favorite pens. If you decide you want want to offload it,please let me know.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

I would be very interested in offloading. You can contact me via E-mail. [e-mail]

[@davidanderson3425]

There is an asylum with a padded cell where you can cap and uncap this pen to your hearts delight and never disturb anyone ever again! I'll be in the cell next door clicking a Pilot Vanishing Point all through the night!

[@WaskiSquirrel]

We'll make good cellmates!

[@AtomicElf1]

😂😂😂 "huhuhuhu."

[@WaskiSquirrel]

It just came out of me...

[@ichirofakename]

1. I've always found the Regatta attractive. 2. Carbon fiber has taken over the bicycle frame industry. 3. So get rid of all your meh pens.

[@WaskiSquirrel]

1. It's not my favorite, but it is well thought out. 2. Carbon fiber is amazing material! 3. I'm working on it.
