Conklin 1898 Fountain Pen - Primary Manipulation 5.0 Gold (Limited Edition)

This Conklin 1898 fountain pen features the Primary Manipulation 5.0 resin from Jonathon Brooks at the Carolina Pen Company. The red, brown, and blue resin has a shiny finish with gold trim and a 14k gold nib. Conklin 1898 is inspired by the rich heritage of the Conklin brand, designed with comfort and durability in mind. This collection is suited to individuals looking for a well-sized, cigar shaped pen that provides a larger surface area for a comfortable grip while writing. All writing instruments feature a cap ring with a Conklin original vintage pattern, initially used on the first self-filling pens produced by the company back in 1898. Together, these elements pay homage to the vintage Conklin era and its extraordinary legacy in the world of writing instruments. The Conklin 1898 fountain pen is offered with your choice of a reliable, smooth-writing German made two-tone JoWo 14k gold nib in fine or medium, as well as the Omniflex flexible gold nib for variation in line width. Each nib displays the brand name and is marked with special crescent-shaped breathing holes. The Conklin quality control team tests each nib individually to ensure top quality writing performance. Our note about the JoWo Omniflex nib: This flex nib will allow you to experience more bounce and softness than writing with conventional nibs. You can achieve some line variation with a little additional downward pressure, to a point. We recommend flexing the nib to about twice the line width that you would see without using any pressure. Please take care to avoid pressing too hard on the nib, as over-flexing could prevent the tines from returning fully to their original position and decrease or stop your ink flow. The 1898 fountain pen comes with reliable standard international cartridges as well as a threaded converter. Each Conklin brand writing instrument is housed in a luxury gift box. Conklin 1898 collection is an ideal gift for any person in your life or for yourself, whether it’s used in their professional lives, home offices, or daily journaling. We do our best to photograph the pens to show how they will appear in person, but due to the nature of the material, there will be some variation in the pattern seen here. This adds an element of uniqueness to the pen, with no two patterns being exactly the same.
