Montegrappa Elmo 02 Cortina

  • Review Add on: 13-05-2025
  • Average Rating: (4)

This is a beautifully-made pen. I have it in Extra Fine, and it has quite a nice line width. The EF nib is on the dry side, and not as smooth as two Elmo 01 EF pens I have. Nonetheless, quite nice to write with.

This is a beautifully produced pen. I love the colour and finish. I have it with an Extra Fine nib. It writes with a nice line somewhere between a typical Japanese and a European nib.
However it is a little on the dry side and, consequently there is some feedback. This may improve with use or perhaps a wetter ink. I have a couple of Elmo 01s, and, disappointingly, this pen does not write as well. Time and use will tell.

Montegrappa Elmo 02

A very good looking pen. It feels like you’re holding a piece of the ‘20s or ‘30s and fits absolutely perfect in the hand. The fine nib is indeed really fine and writes beautifully. It is a tad expansive for a stainless steel nib, but I love it.

Classic design

Very nice resin. Significant girth but very comfortable. First class writer. The nib was perfect out of the box. The big surprise was that the line width was very narrow for a “European” nib. Very close in fact to a Platinum fine nib. If I had to do it again I would for a medium nib. Excellent service from Appelboom - again the nib was tuned perfectly.
