What it is
Acrylic full-size pen, ~140mm and ~24g, widely identified as an homage to the Leonardo Officina Italiana Momento Zero rather than to the Pelikan its number suggests.

For and against
- Attractive acrylics for the money
- Comfortable full-size dimensions, light
- Cheap route to the Momento Zero look
- Converter fill
- Number implies a Pelikan lineage it has nothing to do with
Good-looking, light, well-proportioned; a styling exercise rather than an engineering one.
What owners say
It was a fun project a few years ago. The Majohn M800 came in 4 colors and are exact duplicates of the Leonardo Memento Zero. We added Leonardo nibs to the Majohn pens and made Momento Majohns. Today, Amaz sells the Majohn M800 with a Bock nib. Should you be interested, Asvine offers inexpensive P20s, piston versions of the M800, in a variety of colors and very smooth nibs,. 😄 👍 r/fountainpens · 6 pts · thread
I have the medium nib in the orange colour way and I love the pen. Such good value. I hope they come out with different resins … if they do the galaxy blue they have on their M800, I’ll be having another pen! Enjoy. r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread
Depending the site you are shopping on, this is also called "Amber" and I've seen it listed as "Tiger Eye". I have the M800 in this acrylic and its an outstanding color with tons of depth. Beautiful pens. I may need another one. r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread
TaoBao is pretty hard to use if you can’t read Chinese and I believe it requires a third party for shipping. I have the M800 and Admok’s J800 and prefer the Admok. I’ll almost always prefer a pen with an integral filler over a cart/converter pen, that’s part of it. The Admok also has a really wide array of colorways, from solid colors to some very unusual color combos. r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread
Majohn M800 is not great. It surely looks like a leonardo but the feel is way worse. Especially when you try to cap it. The threads can jam in some positions. My favourite so far is Asvine. r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread
I don't trust Moonman pens. Two number 6 pens I used, had flow problems. One leaked, the other ran dry. The nibs appear untipped steel and quickly wear. Not as good value as Jinhao and Kaigelu who made an attempt to make pens properly. The M800 was a pretty attempt at a clone though. r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread
