Not sure if this has been covered before but here goes: How do you really feel about Montblancs? I know someone who only owns MBs as a status symbol. In your opinion, why has the MB has achieved such status? And is there any other pen that works as well as a status symbol yet is also a great pen? My little Platinum Preppy never fails me but status symbol, it is not

You make wonderful, easy-to-follow instructional videos -- as a retailer. But I have not seen many made by the actual manufacturers of their own pens, except Noodler's. Have they conceded that retailers and pen enthusiasts might be the best instructors of their products?

In the spirit of the Vanishing Point special going on, which vanishing point model and finish would you consider most durable for daily use? I want one that won't easily get scratched, nicked, or dented in my fast paced, multi tasking office. I am constantly picking up and putting down my pens and do so quickly; I just don't have the time or attention span to be conscientious and delicate. I want to avoid the disgust with myself when I realize later my carelessness marred the finish.

Is there an ink that has as much shading color variation as Apache Sunset but isn't in the orange family? I love how Apache Sunset is almost 3 colors depending on how much ink you lay down.
I don't know of one that has quite the same extreme in color change as Apache Sunset, which is why I love it so much!

If you could only use one journal/notebook for all daily writing/business/school related tasks what would you choose and why? Thanks!

I love a pristine looking clean nib. But I have many pens where ink gets on the surface out of the slit and then I swipe to clean, only to draw more ink out. Sigh- mechanical feature of capillary action, or just me? Also on demonstrator pens I always have ink on top of the nib where it is secured in the grip- just gotta live with that too I guess?

If I leave my pens in my car, at what temperatures would it start to be an issue? Could the ink freeze in my pen? If so will this alter the ink properties in the pen? Can inks start to have problems as they get too hot as well? Thank you!
