Why choose Black Noir?
Black Noir is the most understated MP1: the dark cap and gunmetal details give it a sleek, almost stealthy look, while the clear barrel shows off whatever ink you choose.
How the Lock-It piston works
To fill the Black Noir MP1, unlock the piston knob, dip the nib in ink and turn the knob to draw it up into the barrel. When you are done, the Lock-It catch of the Black Noir pen holds the knob in place so it cannot be turned by accident. Because the whole barrel of the Black Noir MP1 is the ink chamber, it holds around 2ml, far more than a standard converter.
A German nib for every hand
Monteverde fits the Black Noir MP1 with a #6 stainless steel nib from JoWo in Germany, on a plasma-treated feed for consistent flow. Choose your Black Noir MP1 in Extra Fine to Broad, a 1.1 stub for italic-style lettering, or Omniflex, a soft, flexible steel nib that gives line variation with gentle pressure.
Frequently asked questions

What is Omniflex on the Black Noir MP1?
