Kingsize Bulk Filler - Carbon Composite Diamond Inlay Pattern

[fountainbel]

These guys seem to sell Suki Urushi (Japanese clear lacquer) in tubes. May be worth a try...

Thank you mongrelnomad, I've just E-mailed them.

Excellent Francis.

 

May I ask which nib you used to write the accompanying descriptors?

Hi Jeffrey,

The nib is one i've installed on another Kingsize prototype, a home ground 1.2 mm titanium stub.

Hi Francis,

 

Thanks to you for your reply,

 

I have just been having a search through your web pages and am very, very impressed by what I see.

 

The pens you are making are really impressive. Your design and engineering background are certainly coming to the fore here with your exacting standards. I see you are late Pfizer. I too have the distinction of being ex Pfizer R&D in Sandwich. Small world ehh?

 

I am always looking to add to my pens collection. What really interests me being able to pair a fantastic pen with a nib that works for me. I am a little disillusioned by the withdrawal of some nibs types by manufacturers. I would love to be able to visit a pen boutique, choose a pen and have the nib tailored to suit my handwriting. I guess I am not alone

 

Best regards

 

Jeff

Woohoo! (and he rubs his hands together in anticipation)

Again a very nice prototype and choice of material, would like to see the group photo as well.

 

Have you considered making a prototype of titanium cap?

Hi Leod,

Thanks for your reaction;

A solid titanium cap would make the pen very heavy…….

A titanium overlay sleeve could be a compromise, but rather expensive to make.

A demonstrator CAISO with a titanium overlay in the style of Visconti's Ripple or Skeleton pens would be an awesome LE, I think. Would the expense of creating the titanium overlay make the pen too expensive?

Hi Francis,

 

Very nice pen i like the model and the material used. Bulk filler is this the same as eye dropper?

Hi Martin,

Surely not an eyedropper, the Bullkfiller ( patent pending) is a novel positive displacement filling system.

That is truly beautiful, Francis. Any writer or pen collector would love to have one of them!

[Doug C]

This is not good. I thought after my Slimline I was done, but I am taken with each new version.

 

Beautiful..

[Bklyn]

Just beautiful.

[swisspens]

Hi Francis, congrats on this beauty, it really stands out. I especially like your choice for the ink window.

My wallet would have said yes, only with a clip and trims titanium finish.

This pen deserves better pictures though, as it doesn't really reflect the outstanding qualities of Conid products.

For those who still have doubts, just have a Conid in your hands and you'll understand...
