Converter For Starwalker And Montblanc M


Jip

Recommended Posts

I have tried around a bit, and the following converters work:

 

In the Montblanc M and Starwalker 2019 (have not tried the old model).

 

Schmidt K2 Converter (normal fit, not too tight.)

Schmidt K5 Converter (tight fit, but not too tight)

Faber Castell Converter (Actually a Schmidt K2)

 

If there are more you know to work let me know in the comments!

I have what I suppose you could call an "old" Starwalker (a black plastic and red gold model, bought in 2015). I'd characterize the fit of a Schmidt K5 in it as "normal".

I find the K2 converter fits like a normal Montblanc inc cartridge, where as the K5 feels more tight.

 

I do have an ‘older’ Starwalker in black resin with platinum trimming, but it’s a rollerball/fineliner.

I’d suggest:
K5 converter if you want to fill the pen by putting the nib in an inkwell, and the K2 converter when you want to fill the converter from an inkwell by removing it from the pen first.

 

With the 2019 Starwalker I suggest the K2 and fill the converter from the inkwell, rather than through the nib, since the knurled/striped grip section is a pain to clean if you dip it too deep.

I use a Pelikan converter in mine, and it works fine (I believe that's a Schmidt?)...I will try my Kaweco and GvFC converter and report back as well

Yes the Pelikan converter is a Schmidt K5 converter.

I have a Starwalker Cool Blue from eons ago. I bought a Faber-Castell converter at the same time and it’s still functioning 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
