Dimensions mined from retailer listings and cross-checked across stores — approximate.
For and against
- The ink-window band is a genuinely original piece of design
- Large piston capacity
- 146mm / ~26g — comfortable full-size proportions
- Titanium editions available with Bock 18k nib option
- House nib is the usual lottery
- Resin versions feel their price next to the titanium ones
The Majohn most likely to be recommended without caveats about looks — the window band does something nobody else does at $40.
What owners say
Today's been a good day, the P136 came in. This is a very nice feeling pen, I'm not going to ink it until the tool comes though Beside it is a little Jinhao 88, threw it in to hit free shipping, but it is a nice little pen, good solid click on the cap, feels good, has a great look. Probably going to make the no biy people pull their hair out, but I had to share this one. r/fountainpens · 12 pts · thread
I’ve had the chance to try the P136 at a pen meet and it’s surprisingly good. The nib was pretty smooth. The pens are on the bigger side too Also iirc the tool is also compatible with monblancs r/fountainpens · 11 pts · thread
Majohn's P136 and A1 are probably the best-value pens on the market right now, honestly r/fountainpens · 7 pts · thread
I have the P136 with the Bock EF nib and it's one of my favorite pens. I grab it as often if not more often than my 823 F. I sometimes grab the 823 purely because I feel guilty for not using it more often. I always use my pens unposted if that helps at all. r/fountainpens · 5 pts · thread
How does the P136 write? It's a looker but I've had two Majohn and they're both awfully scratchy. r/fountainpens · 4 pts · thread
I’m considering the blue p136 as well. I have the all black one. It’s a great nib. Writes F r/fountainpens · 4 pts · thread
