I don't really care for this pen. I don't like the crescent filler mechanism. Doesn't seem to fully fill. I rarely use the pen.

Such a beauty and the only issue i have is how to clean the ink out entirely and drying it. I have not figured that out yet. Cheers!

This is a review of the Mark Twain Crescent Exclusive in transparent yellow. I have mine inked with Monteverde Documental Black. Writing is physically effortless with the black fine stainless steel nib. It glides and swoops across the page like a bird in flight.

Mine arrived delivering copious quantities of ink. A little nib tuning got it delivering adequate quantities of ink, and now it is perfect.

Currently available with either the stub nib or the OmniFlex nib, replacing the nib is a matter of unscrewing the installed nib and screwing in the replacement if one would prefer a fine or medium nib. Monteverde offers a broad nib with a black finish, a broad nib with a polished-steel finish, and an extra-fine nib with a polished finish that will fit, and Conklin offers an extra-fine nib with a polished steel nib that will also fit.

This is truly a remarkable pen.

the pen is wonderful, it requires a little practice at the beginning I say write a little slower than usual but once you get used to everything flows perfect. Thank you.

It's decent for what I paid. The nib is way too wet (I can fix that) and the sac makes a wet, spongy sound when the crescent is pushed. It sounds like it's sucking wet air. It has a great capacity for a sac-filler but I wish I bought a finer nib. If I could swap it, I probably would. I may have this one reground if the price is right.

Pen is pretty and seems well made. Nib writes very well for steel. I have several Conklins and they are good value pens. First pen leaked very badly, which Pen Chalet replaced (excellent CS). new pen doesn't leak as much. Pen leaks if left undisturbed on desk for 24 hours. Left it for the weekend and found all the ink had leaked into the cap, wicked through cap threads and onto fabric lined pen stand. left a nice stain that I couldn't get all out. Conklins are very wet writers and I am not sure, but it appears, the aerometric fillers (sac) need to be stored vertically or they will leak. Keeping the pen upright on desk. Good pens, but maybe not reliable. Pen Chalet has been excellent.

I had been arguing with myself about this pen for quite a while when I saw it on the "Final Drop" page at 21% and a bit below the special price. The argument was over. I got the pen.

This one is the Mark Twain Crescent Exclusive brown pen with the fine nib. Inked with Ocean Noir, it makes an irresistible combination. The fine nib is smooth, and it just feels right.

It looks nice too, with the broad unadorned flat top and the gunmetal grey appointments. The material it is made of, as other reviewers have noted, is translucent and allows glimpses of the inner workings of the pen.

Overall, I am thoroughly pleased with the pen.

This pen is truly beautiful, especially in the sunlight. The brown tortoise shell is slightly translucent and so is the section. The section does NOT come apart from the barrel. You have to register the pen and send it back to Conclin to repair the ink sac for the warranty. The furniture is a black chrome/ gun metal color and the spring loaded pocket clip is nice. The crescent filler is a little tricky and might require playing with to get a full ink sac. The Omniflex nib does flex well and performs as is designed. You can use the Omniflex nib for everyday writing situations as well. The nib has a slight drag to it as it is not like gliding on glass like my fine nib Duragraph. Overall this is a extremely beautiful pen that works well. The crescent filler might take a filling or two to get the hang of it but a fine pen still. I very happy with it. The only reason I gave "functionality" a 3 was because the section does NOT unscrew from the barrel. I would give "style" 6 stars for the shear beauty of the acrylic resin if they would let me.
