Fountain Pens Which Take Long Universal Cartridges


Alexcat

Recommended Posts

Apologies if there's a list already around....Im looking for which fountain pens take the long universal cartridges, rather than just the short ones.

 

Any suggestions very welcome.

Waterman Phileas / Kultur - I'm using one right now...

Thank you....is that the long universal cartridge, or the Waterman one?

The Waterman cartridge is a long universal cartridge. Almost all pens that will hold two short international cartridges or also use a converter will also take one long one. The main exceptions are the pens that use carriers. Often the carrier will have a ridge or stop between the cartridges that also prevents a single long one or converter from fitting. My Montblanc 147 is an example of such a carrier.

 

In fact I am using a Waterman cartridge today in my Yard-o-Led "Smythson" fountain pen.

Italix Parson's Essential, Waterman Laureat (and presumably many other Waterman c/c pens), and Montblanc Noblesse, from my own experience. As jar has said, unless the barrel is unusually short or has some obstruction in it, as the 147 does, any pen of normal size that takes a short international cartridge or holds two of them will take a long international cartridge.

Faber-Castell Ambition, Graf Von Faber-Castell Intuition, Franklin-Christoph Model 66 and TWSBI Micarta take the long cartridges.

This is very interesting.

Anyone like Ray Bradbury? Please read "The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair" if you have about 12 minutes.

 

You will not forget this wonderful gem that is largely obscure and sadly, forgotten. http://bit.ly/1DZtL4g

The Wancher 807 will not take a long international cartridge. It can take a short, or a slim slide converter.

 

The Kaigelu 316 will take a long international cartridge.

      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
