Montblanc Starwalker Extreme - Converter

Recommended Posts

Does anybody know what converter will work on the Starwalker Extreme fountain pens? I think at one point, the Faber Castell converters were used, but has that changed with new internal designs on the Starwalker?

 

Thanks in advance!

I don't think montblanc has changed the internal workings of the pen. I use the Schmidt K5 converter and it works flawlessly.

I've found that the DuPont converters work in my original Starwalker. Have not tried in an extreme.

I heard that if you use a converter in a Starwalker it can actually void the warranty and Montblanc does not recommend it

The GVFC and Dupont converter are all schmidt K5 converters. And no, using it will not void your montblanc warranty, just remove it when you bring it in for service.

I use a generic converter from Goulet Pens (also a Schmidt K5) in mine. Works perfectly.

      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
