Pens With Same Size/shape As Noodler's Konrad

Recommended Posts

This may seem like an odd request, but I've been thinking about this for a while now. So, the first time I bought a Noodler's Konrad, I was stunned at how perfectly it fitted my hand...Although the Lamy 2000 is my favorite pen (due to various reasons), the Konrad is still the better shaped pen for me. That being said, do you know pens with the same size/shape as the Noodler's Konrad? (not the Ebonite or Acrylic...those are longer)

 

Cheers

Look into both the Pilot Custom Heritage 92 and the Pelikan M200 or M400. These pens are similar in size and shape, and have reputations as solid performers.

I'm too new to FPs to know what else might feel as good, but that makes me also too new to avoid asking: Why look any further than the Konrad? I only ask because Goulet sells alternate nibs for the Ahab / Konrad, XF up to 1.5mm stub italic, and so if you disliked the flex aspects you could simply put a non-flex nib on it and be content.

 

...it IS possible to be content in this hobby, right?

I'm with you here, if a pen is great and you can swap nibs why not just stick with it? I've done that with my Pilots (Metropolitan, 78G, Penmanship and Plumix) and have no regrets.

Thank you for the suggestion...I found the Pilot CH92 at a very nice price in my country (~$160 shipped), smoke color and M nib, ordered one just a few minutes ago...can't wait for it to arrive!

      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
