Agreed. Most of those listings aren't even close to being classics.

For example, The Monoc Nib is very new. It didn't exist a few scant months ago. While I hope Ian Schon succeeds and it does become considered a classic, a single-piece titanium nib unit that encloses an Ultem feed is not a typical fountain pen design. (Very cool, just not classic yet... give it 20 years).

The Montblanc, and maybe the Conway Stewart may be the only classic brands there.



The HN comment thread - once again - provides more entertainment and enlightenment than the original post :)

There’s some innovative features in the pens, but agreed, no classics.
