I ordered this pen on line from Amazon based on reviews only. I had never actually seen one in person because it is so very difficult to find local Mont Blanc retailers in my area. I'll admit I was a little nervous about making such a grand purchase "sight unseen".
Holding this pen in your hand proves that it is well worth the investment. Mont Blanc pens make a bold statement about the owner and has major "snob appeal" for those that are in the know about the price tag usually associated with Mont Blanc. My husband has three Mont Blanc pens and will not write with any other pen. He always has his at the ready. I have always liked his pens, but I'd never seen one that caught my eye enough to make me want to pay the higher price for the Mont Blanc line. That is, until I saw the Starwalker pen on line.... I then started to try and locate one in my area before making this level of commitment to a pen. I pondered the decision for a few weeks before I bit the bullet and made the purchase via Amazon. It's a trusted retailer, so I gave in and went for it.
The color selection on the pen is stunning and it feels perfectly balanced in your hand. It has just the right amount of heft without being too heavy and is incredibly comfortable to write with. This is not a light weight pen. It has a substantual feel to it and it is larger than some of their other lines. The Starwalker is in a class well beyond anything available from Cross or other high end pen makers. Of course, it writes wonderfully---just as all Mont Blanc pens are designed to do. The black and gunmetal finsh are stylish and understated. This pen is classy and elegant and seems designed for the person who wants to be subtle with their "excess". It doesn't scream "Mont Blanc". This pen is one that you have to really look at to notice the elegant Mont Blanc touches. I can honestly say that I have ZERO regrets on this purchase and truly enjoy it for my everyday use. With the built out grip, I have greatly reduced the tired feeling in my hand at the end of the day. This pen is perfect in every way.
If you are on the fence, go ahead and make the purchase. When you hold it, you will understand... :)
