Noodler's Konrad With Knox Nibs?


Nate_Emmi

Recommended Posts

Gotta say, I love my Noodler's Konrad. Has anyone here has replaced the standard Nooodler's Flex nib with another nib (Like a Goulet nib or a Knox nib) and would be willing to share pictures of it? I have a Goulet <F> in my Konrad right now, and though it writes well, the nib is set do far into the section that it just looks ugly to me. I was wondering if a Knox or even Nemosine nib from xfountainpens.com would look better (as in less far set into the section)

I'm at work and can't do pictures, but I have a Konrad with a Bock steel nib installed. Yes, mine too is set way into the section, but not so far as to look lost in there. It does work well this way, though.

I have a Goulet 1.1 in my Konrad. Yes, it is set a little back, but I actually prefer the look of a bit less nib than the full look of the Noodler's flex nib. I don't have any other suggestions cuz I really like the look and feel of the Goulet 1.1 in this pen!

Yeah, mine looks exactly like KrazyIvan's, except is an EF nib. I'd prefer the nib to stick out a bit more, but that's the optimal position, with heat-seating the feed and nib. This is in my ebonite Kondrad, which now, finally, after months of frustration, works well. There's something wonderful about the feel of ebonite, which is the only reason why I've tried so hard to keep and like this pen :)

I have been considering a Goulet nib for some time for mine. Just haven't gotten around to it.

      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
