The Conklin Duragraph has a history dating back to the early 1920's. Conklin engineered ground breaking designs and the Duragraph was the best pen to own back in the day. For some, it still is. This timeless classic design never gets outdated, never gets old. Every time you use it, you'll enjoy it. Mine writes like butter, smooth and predictable with every stroke. The medium nib is not finicky when it comes to ink, it will take what ever you load into it. I have a wide range of wet well lubed inks as well as some very dry types and the Duragraph works well with most of them. For a sub $100 pen, this one is not going to disappoint you. I'd fully recommend the Duragraph and would buy another variation without hesitation.

A lot of pen for the money. Collectible and won’t break the bank.

This is my first Conklin Duragraph and I have to say I am disappointed. Conklin has one too many quality control issues. These seems like Chinese Manufactured pens and if that is what one wants then there are many good options for much cheaper price such as Moonman M600, Jinhao Centennial and Kaigulu 316. The pen I received and issues with nib and feed alignment. It also came without a converter. I had similar experience with one of the Conklin All-American I purchased before, it had nib issues as well. So for around $50 I don't think it is worth that with all the quality control issues.

It looks nice and comes nicely presented. The flex nib is fun but you need to prime it almost every other sentence (I expected that as per other reviews elsewhere). I got it on sale plus 10% discount,.

Love this pen the flex nib broke on me pushing the nib to far. Put on a med nib works great, however offers little to no line deviation.

Purchased at a great discount during one of Pen Chalet's fabulous sales. Very nice, classic pen with a lot of style without denting your wallet or purse. The biggest knock against this pen is the nib is pure garbage - will not write! Evidently this is a common complaint which I found out about *afterwards*. So caveat emptor: Factor in the expense of replacing the nib in determining whether or not you want to purchase this pen. I would highly recommend not purchasing it for the full retail price.

A real beauty for the price, style and function. I comes in such an impressive case, I regret I couldn't be interned in it. The pen has a nice, comfortable weight and glides nicely, so nicely on the paper. It easily puts a ballpoint pen to shame and down to the minor league.
