Mine was loose prior to posting. I noticed immediately upon handling the pen out of the box. I'll do a fix order with Conklin. ... love it though ... it's a statement sorta pen.

Only knock on pen so far is posting - in making entries into my journal ast night the cap flew off twice. It's a fantastic writer so far - a bit of flex and writes on wet side (mine is med nib) which I like. I left it sitting horizontal several times for 10-15 minutes just to test it, and it started writing immediately afterwards. That nib is something else! But the posting seems to be an issue.

I, too, have had the chrone ring begin to spin. Please share how your repair order with conklin goes.

I recently picked up a red/brown stylograph with a stub nib on Massdrop for the ridiculously low price of $54.00, including shipping. The nib is smooth and wet and writes wonderfully. Wish I had bought more for gifts.

I love my Stylograph.It's beautiful and the size and weight is also good for woman-sized hands. I have the stub nib which is so nice for lettering and calligraphy. I'd like to add a flex nib to it, I assume you can switch out nibs for these, has anyone tried this?

I have this in a fine and it's a great pen. I was using it at work but I'll likely retire it from there for now - I've got other pens I'll use there. When it comes back on Massdrop for that price, or close to it, I'll be absolutely getting another (or two!).

I have this pen in the brown/grey model. It writes absolutely beautifully. The medium nib is just slightly on the finer side, which suits me perfectly. I have not experienced any issues with posting, but the black-painted end cap is already losing its finish.... the end cap is a brass-color metal underneath and the black paint is not terribly sturdy (I'm quite careful with my pens, so it has not been abused in any way).

 

 

Overall, it's an excellent pen that people notice when it is used. The multi-color barrel and cap are truly gorgeous.

Thanks for the review. I'm considering buying this pen (as I do really love both my duragraphs,) and this gave me all the information I need to go ahead with the purchase.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
