Hi Francis

 

Interesting to know Conid is now also going to make the feed in house.

 

That leads to the question: What about the nibs? Looking at the production facilities I am sure they will be able to produce superb nibs in various metals...

Though it may not be the most economical option...

I look forward to the arrival of this new pen. My Slimline should be here tomorrow!

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Sign me up, Francis. I'm sure that stevesurf will take at least one, too. I'll let him know to sign up. Email to follow.

 

I am enjoying my bulk fillers. They are little engineering marvels. And the titanium nibs are a joy to use.

Hey folks,

 

 

Nice to see the interest in Francis' well designed pens, but you can not sign up here in the forum.

 

Francis gave the email address you have to use. I have highlighted that!.

eMail sent! Can't wait!

 

On a related note: can we send you nibs to be fitted (either Emblem nibs, or MB 149s) or does the unique feed preclude this option?

Too many pens; too little writing.

E-mail sent for pen without nib.

 

Now waiting to see the response to mongrelnomad's question. If negative, I'll purchase the standard Kingsize instead. Fingers crossed. :blush:

Hi Dick,

Making nibs is actually not a goal for Conid, but who knows in the future …..

Hi mongrelnomad.

You can surely install one of the nibs you specified, however a small adaption of the nib housing is

necessary.

Note that when screwing the nib unit out the spring loaded CAISO innards will also come out, so one has to be careful at nib unit exchange not to loose parts !

Francis - then I have the perfect nib to be fitted (a monotone 149 nib with some flex). I'll just leave it in the pen and be done with it...

Too many pens; too little writing.

      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
