How lovely! Talk about a big fan. What's the red one, second from the top on the right?

 

I can't wait for my Slimline to ship with my Kingsize CAISO. Maybe I'll fall down the same path you've tumbled down.

Gorgeous :wub: :wub: :wub: I love the very last pen in the 3rd column. Is that able to be ordered?

And I was struggling to pull the trigger on my first Conid. Something tells me I'm not going to catch up

The red one is the Luca Pacioli, the green one the Benjamin Graham. They marked the entry of Conid in the fountain pen business. Both are plunjer fillers, it was before they launched the Bulkfiller filling system. The difference between the two is the form of the inkwindow. If you are lucky you might find them second hand, because they are out of production.post-102554-0-77869800-1465892000_thumb.jpeg

It is the Minimalistica + ( + means it has a clip, because it is also made without clip ). And yes , it is still available, therefor you have to contact them on their website http://www.conidpen.com/index.cfm .

That's a nice collection - which one do you like best and why? :)

Are any of your pens 1 of a kind?

I prefer the Kingsize models, because they are Pelikan 1000 and MB 149 size and especially the demonstrators. Everytime you choose another ink, you have a different color of pen and thanks to the bulkfiller system it is easy to flush the pen without leaving any trace of ink. Only two pens are the same the two reguler bulkfiller demonstrators with titanium knobs. I only managed to get the First Production Run after I bought already another.

The Conid Kingsize Bulkfiller Streamline LE. " In Flanders Fields ". Here you can see the effect of the bulkfiller system, the inkwindow is perfect clear after flushing with water, no detergent used.post-102554-0-83076200-1465899192_thumb.jpegpost-102554-0-17591800-1465899230_thumb.jpeg

Forget to mention: sold out.

Thanks :thumbup:

 

I hope to buy a CONID at the London WES show in October.

I must say I'm jealous. I've been eyeing a Kingsize demonstrator for a while but I can't just justify the cost of it. Almost a 1000 euros is a bit too much, I think

Note the cost you've mentioned is for the CAISO version

Cost for the standard Kingsize with demonstrator barrel - nib choice excluded - is 588 Euros.

Cost for a titanium nib unit being 63 Euros, hence total being 651 Euros…..

And I thought I had a lot of Conids!

 

What a great collection of innovative, exceptional pens.

 

I can't choose between mine. I love them all for different reasons.

Too many pens; too little writing.

I received one of these about a month ago. I'm quite amazed by how perfectly it writes. I thought some of my other pens were essentially perfect. But my Minamalistica is perfectly perfect.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
