Conklin 1898 Fountain Pen, Misto Green - Stub Nib | Unique Resin Blend Pen with Luxury Design | JoWo Stainless Steel Nib Made in Germany | Ideal Gift for Pen Lovers

A well made pen that feels good as you use it. Can write quite a bit and still grasp the pen comfortably.

Looks great overall but the QC is not there for a $100 pen and it writes very poorly.A cosmetic nitpick is that the clip should be lines up with the 1898 logo but it’s off center.However, the writing experience is atrocious. False starts and skips so frequent that it’s almost not useable. I’ve tried it with a couple different inks, with cartridge and with converter. Doesn’t matter. I have to shake it to get ink to flow.Save your money. I have a $10 pen from China that writes beautifully. I won’t buy another Conklin.

Great quality great feel in the hand. Highly recommend this pen.

There is no doubt the absolute beauty of this pen. I love the design very much as well as the size when it’s posted. Comfortable in the hand, and feels good. I so so so wanted to love this pen. I had ordered the FINE TIP, and upon receiving, it was very scratchy and not a pleasurable experience. I kept giving it chance after chance, yet its roughness wouldn’t go away. I then ordered a medium nib which made a better difference, but kept getting hard starts and skipping. If this was a cheaper pen, perhaps in the $20 range, I really wouldn’t have cared, but it’s not. It was over $100 and to be so dissatisfied well, I just can’t verify its cost. Again, BEAUTIFUL looking pen, but the main purpose, it’s writing, left me wanting. Hate doing this kind of review, and generally don’t give negative reviews, but there ya go.

Just disappointed about the overall look of the pen, knowing that the pattern of the colors can vary, I was hoping to at least receive a fountain pen that looked like the one shown which was colorful and vibrant. Here the colors are muted and dark and quite blended, making it just a brown pen.
