Conklin Duraflex Limited Edition Fountain Pens Reviews

First of all the pen arrived in a couple of days. Very fast delivery. Second the cap has a crack right under the place where the pocket clip touches the plastic. Since it is a clear demo unit the crack, while small, is very noticeable. So far there has been no ink leakage. I filled the unit with Levenger's Raven Black and it is an outstanding writer. There are no issues with the nib and overall the pen writes better than many of my other pens costing ten times more.

Very nice pen and great eyedropper for shimmering inks. Pen Chalet is always very fast in shipping in stock items and excellent customer service.

The pen was nice, but the nib was awful. I got a new nib from another source which redeemed this pen.

I've become so fond of the Duragraph and Duraflex pens, I have to have one of each! Yes, I admit to a little bit of OCD. My pen choice is dictated by my shirt choice each day.?? These pens are beautiful, very classic in style and are great writers. I'm especially partial to the flex and the stub nibs. AND the service and selection and price is hard to beat at Pen Chalet.

I love my Duraflex Sunstone! The brownish color sparkled with yellowish specks all around, combined with the Rose Gold accent, is just beautiful! The omniflex nib works better compared to my old omniflex. Much smoother writing experience when you are not flexing the pen. I look forward to writing with this beauty many years to come. Last but not least, Jen at sales/customer service always goes above and beyond in helping me. Will keep coming back to Pen Chalet for many years.

Excellent pen at a fantastic price. Really wanted to just try the Omniflex nib and then resell. Scratch those plans - keeping this one.

I have several Conklin Duragraphs, Duraflexes, Omniflexes...I obviously like the aesthetic of the model, and I couldn’t pass on this limited edition color, especially with the Rose Gold trim. I’m not the biggest fan of the flex nib, essentially because I don’t know what I’m doing! Hopefully with practice I grow to like it more, but I can see myself replacing the nib if a Rose Gold stub option becomes available. Overall happy with the purchase.

Conklin doses it again with this beautiful modern flexible nibbed pen

The jury is still out. Sort of. Yes, I can use this pen for copperplate script, and get the variation in line width I want to--as long as I'm writing absolutely enormous text. Think first-grade penmanship scale letters. At my usual, much smaller scale, that variation vanishes completely, and the pen looks more like a narrow italic nib pen. Right now, the flow is erratic, and stops frequently, but that is immediately after installing a cartridge for the first time. This may improve. The pen feels heavy, and it is surprisingly long when the cap is posted. Without the cap posted, it feels too short and doesn't balance comfortably. I didn't think anyone made a pen I thought would be too long or too heavy for my large, strong hands. Overall, right now the pen is attractive enough, but not as great a writer as I thought it should be. To be honest, right now I think my disposable Zebra fountain pens write better. However, that's hours into its first use. I have yet to try the converter with other ink, and I forgot to flush the pen with water and detergent before starting.

Great fountain pen, great materials, color and finishing. I really enjoyed. Initial nib bit defective, informed the Penchalet Team and it was replaced fast and at no cost. The after sales support services great.
