What it is

Full-size acrylic pen, ~139mm and ~28g. Despite the Pelikan-style model number, forum consensus is that the shape copies a Parker Duofold rather than a Souverän.

For and against

Fit and finish specifically praised in FPN review
Nib reported to write well out of the box
Classic proportions

Converter fill, not piston, despite the flagship-sounding name
Model number invites a Pelikan comparison it doesn't deliver

One of the models that gets cited when people defend Majohn's QC — the good units are very good.

You can't post the M600S without a shot of that beautiful nib! r/fountainpens · 7 pts · thread

The M2 was an original design, right? It is my favorite pen of theirs (though I do like the M600S quite a bit, particularly the nib). r/fountainpens · 4 pts · thread

I would love to see that pen, in the M600S price point it would fly off the shelf! r/fountainpens · 3 pts · thread

Moonman fine nibs are quite nice for the price. my C1 writes wet and smooth. My blue m600s with an EF nib has some issues though. I might put a Goulet EF nib in it at some point, because I really like the pen, but the nib is bleugh r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread

Exactly and the M600S also ditched the Schmidt nib for their in-house nib which I haven’t tested out. I’ve been considering that pen as I don’t want to take my Duofold at work. It’ll be a lovely alternative. r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread

Been looking hard at a m600s in that blue or the tortoise or amber. The blue is hypnotic! Gorgeous. Is the balance terrible when posted? r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread
