This review is for the Sunstone with rose gold accents. Stylish, though side by side with the amber version, think I prefer the amber. Also the rose gold doesn't seem very rose to me. Still breaking in the nib, but I have faith it will come good like the amber before it.

This is a beautiful pen, but the flexible nib just doesn't draw ink; there is now continuity of flow and it's a real disappointment.

Be patient with this pen. It's probably not going to perform well right out of the box. As others have mentioned, it needs priming (constrict the converter to force more ink into the feed). The first time that I primed it, it still skipped a lot. I left it alone and came back to it the next day. Things started to improve after I gave it a few gentle downward shakes. However, it still wasn't writing as smoothly as it should have been, so I let it sit for another day. The next time that I picked it up, it wrote flawlessly. I haven't had any issues since. This pen is worth the extra effort at the beginning. I'm a big fan of the sunstone color. It really sparkles when it catches the light.

The Duraflex is a super great pen. I purchased several for friends and they love them. Super great value. Thanks again.

It's a pretty pen, but, not usable....Nib is so scratchy and unable to write and that's not even flex writing. Will be returned.

The Conklin Duraflex has turned out to be one of my favorite fountain pens, but there's a key thing you have to do before writing (otherwise it would be a very frustrating pen): Prime the feed. In other words, constrict the converter piston a little, or squeeze the cartridge a little, so that it pushes ink to the nib and feed (not enough to make it leak or drip, of course). It's worked like a dream every time I've done this.
If that's not enough, try widening and deepening the ink channels on the feed with an x-acto knife or something similar. (I did this *before* regularly priming the feed, so I don't know for sure if priming is always enough.)
