Pelikan M1000 & M605 Black Tortoiseshell (EF) Comparison & Review

Hello pen friends! I just recently acquired my first ever Pelikan Souverän pens after some extensive reviews and research and I think these two are the perfect Pelikans to dive into the Pelikan world. I will go over the specs of both of these gems and share the writing samples so you can have a good feel for how EF Pelikan nibs write in both the M1000 and M605 models. I really enjoy both experiences and can't wait to continue exploring more Pelikan pens in the future!

Feel free to jump to any part of the video as I have created timestamps to easily navigate to whichever information you need. I hope you guys find this helpful. If you have any comments, questions, suggestions, or things to add, please let me know down in the comments and I will add it to my description box about Pelikans! I welcome feedback and constructive criticism, but please remember to keep comments appropriate and in good nature! As always, thank you so much for watching.

If you're interested in Raden, Maki-e, Urushi** work on your Pelikan, you can find services from these artists (I will continue to update the list with other artists I know of once I get their permission to share their links here):

**Most of the time, these artists will require that your pen can be disassembled AND you may need to disassemble it yourself. Note that doing raden/urushi work on your pens will void your warranty.
