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!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
