"Got the pen and love it. Looks and feels
better than expected. I have not used it much but so far, so good.
Just have to find the right writing angle. I think I am going to
love this pen...I was surprised at its thickness but it does not have
too much heft. I like it a lot. Each pen that I have purchased from
you is better than the last."
"Hi Norman. Thank you so much for sending
out the pen and ink so quickly. The Stealth is a beautiful pen and a
joy to write with. I look forward to writing with it as much as
possible!"
"Dear Norman, the Invincia Stealth is a
beautiful pen. I love the way it looks and the way it balances in
my hand. I also love the stub nib: it enables me to achieve a
calligraphic look to my handwriting without all the fuss of dipping or
needing cartridges. Thank you for your quick service and great
selection of pens! HisNibs is terrific!"
"Received the package today. Exactly what
I was hoping for. Feels good in the hand and writes effortlessly.
thanks"
"Norman, I received my pens last week. I really like both the
Crocodile Outre, and the
Monteverde Invincia Stealth. They write beautifully and are great to
have on the road with me. Great pens and great value. As always,
thank you my friend." "Got the pen (Invincia- Stealth) on Saturday and it was great coming out of the box especially since it had cartridges for me to use right away. I love it! I thought the personal touches were awesome like the note that was sealed with wax. It is something that I have always wanted to do with personal letters but since the advent of the email and texts, I forgot about it. I am thoroughly impressed with this whole interaction and am now going to look at different Inks on your site to purchase. Thank you for an awesome experience!"S. S., Altamonte Springs, FL "The Invincia Stealth is EXACTLY what I was
looking for in a pen. Thanks so much for your recommendation too!! I love the
everything about it! The weight, the feel, the way it writes, and it's looks! I
had done some reading about the Stealth and I saw a few complaints about a
posting issue. Absolutely none here though. I am so happy! Thanks again for
everything! I will definitely recommend you to anyone that inquires about the
pen! Excellent service all the way around, extremely prompt, and incredibly
friendly!" "Please sent me the
Avenger Yellow and Thunderbird Blue.
Several months ago a purchase the Invincia Black Stealth FP and I just felt in
love with this pen. I now have several FP in my collection from all price
ranges and brands but I use my Black Stealth FP on a daily basis. Now I want to
increase my collection of the Monteverde color fusion fountain pens to
eventually have all the colors available." "Hi, Norman! As a writer, I have
many pens in my collection from all price ranges and brands. This is the first
time I've purchased an Monteverde writing instrument and must say I am very much
in love with the Invincia Color Fusion Stealth broad nib fountain pen. I have
been in the market for a new fountain pen for some time and had been looking at
this particular Invincia for a good while now, but never found the information
to help me decide to buy it...that is until I found your website. The review and
video demonstration posted on your website answered my questions and made the
decision easy. Thank you so very much! Also, the Private
Reserve Gray Flannel ink was exactly what I was looking for! From now on
when in the market for a new pen, I shall be buying from you! Plus the fact you
include a personal note in the order makes it one of the better shopping
experiences I've had in a long time. And may I say you've the best penmanship
I've come across in a while!" "Hi Norman, I received my order, the Monteverde
Color Fusion (Black Stealth) today, and I must say, I love this
pen! It is definitely a class act! Silky smooth, very comfortable in
the hand, and comparable to anything I have in my poor collection of fountain
pens! I continue to be amazed at the quality of your offerings! I have run low
of words to use in praising your site, and the excellence of service you supply
to your customers. The "fine touches" you provide (the hand-written notes, the
fine tuning of the nibs, ect.) are exceptional in this day and age!!" "I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you very much for the Invincia Stealth FP. It is a
wonderful pen, and I did NOT have any problem using the “La Reine Mauve”
Noodlers ink; the ink was drying up on the other FPs that I purchased with the
competition. Thank you for the personalized note you sent me with the pen; It
was a very nice touch." "Dear Norman: I received the pens yesterday! they
look excellent! As you kindly said, they conform a beautiful collection all
together. I dive at once on the whole bunch, touching, feeling and looking
closely at every detail and characteristics of every pen. Let me remark, from
the beginning, the severe beauty of the Stealth, the baroque brilliancy of the
Jinhao and the comfort of the
Seven Horses. Thank you very much for all, you
were of great help and everything went so smooth. We will surely keep in
contact. Best Regards from Spain!" "I got my pen today when I went downstairs for
something else....I've cleaned the nib as you advised and to my amazement, the
pen took the ink so much better than when I would fill it without rinsing it
first. I never thought of needing to do that brand new pens! I'm still a bit new
to using fountain pens so I appreciate that tip from your web site. The pen
writes beautifully! I've never had a Monte Verde pen before now. I'll be
ordering more of them as I'm able." Note: The Titanium version with the gray cap -- shown in some photos -- is no longer manufactured
New! Invincia Brass FP
Straightforward and classic, the clean lines and familiar shape of Invincia are brought to new heights with this solid brass collection. Matte black trim contrasts the natural brass for a modern look that is earthy and bold. Natural flaws in the brass enhance the pen’s character while a protective coating is added to minimize oxidation, insuring Invincia will only get better with age.
Invincia Stealth FP
No, your eyes are not deceiving you. The fountain pen has a black steel nib, coated with titanium for extreme durability, and is available in B, M, F or the new stub sizes. I've found that the new, large Monteverde nibs run about a size smaller than typical western nibs. Hence, I'd classify the B nib as a typical medium, the M as a fine and the F as an x-fine. The stub is a 1.1 mm medium. Please specify the nib size you'd like, by letter or 'stub' only, to avoid confusion when ordering. The pen has a screw off cap but it posts as aslip-on. If you're like me, and rarely post a cap, you'll find the Invincia plenty long enough without posting for comfortable writing. The cap band sports 'Monteverde USA' on the clip side...
... 'Invincia' on the back side.
The Stealth has an 'under the radar' take on the modern fountain pen. The entire pen is in black with the cap, barrel, clip and trim all being specially coated with 3 layers of durable black lacquer. The fountain pen nib is also in black with a flexible stainless steel nib coated with titanium for extreme durability.
If you were a pen-carrying Ninja, this would be the pen for you. Personally, I can't stop visualizing James Bond each time I pick up this pen (Sean Connery, of course). But even if you don't fantasize about being 007, carrying the Stealth just makes one feel more suave somehow.
The fountain pens come with a piston converter for bottled ink...but as with all new pens, I recommend to run a dilute solution of dishwashing soap (two or three drops to a small bowl of water) through the pen and converter a few times, followed by water only. Step one is effective at removing manufacturing oils that can tend to make the ink less than enthusiastic in heading from the converter to the nib, and step two removes the traces of the detergent you've used...which tends to have the opposite, diuretic effect. The pen will also take International-style cartridges, such as those from Private Reserve. The Monteverde gift box and warranty are included.
Although I've focused on the fountain pens of the Invincia Titanium collection, the pens are also available in equally impressive ballpoint and rollerball versions.
IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace. The only 100% guarantee of course comes when the pen is actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns! |
