Conid are my favorite pens, those pictures are great. I have a Monarch, Regular, and the Cavens pen and they're all great. My grail pen is the In Flanders Field model but good luck finding one of those...

10 of each (flatop and streamline). So the odds are not good...

Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

Yeah I'll likely never get one as so few were made and I'm assuming anyone who got one isn't parting with it.

 

I've also seen a pic of a pair of Conids made with the old Omas Arco Verde and Arco Brown, but I'm assuming those are one-off prototypes or something.

 

I jumped on the Cavens because even though I find the Slimline a bit small, I wanted another Conid with different material. I hope in the future they do start branching out to more different materials because I think their designs are wonderful, as is the fit and finish.

The green one is my grail pen. They are Francis' prototypes and I can't see him parting with either of them (sadly). :)

I never had heard of Conid before reading this topic and comments. I visited the Conid website and browsed the models, particularly about the "bulk filler," the pens' manufacturing process, and the different models. I went to U-Tube and saw a video illustrating the Conid Kingsize bulk filler by David from "Figboot." I'm very impressed with the Conid pens. As the last post before this one was on October 25, 2019 -- before the Covid-19 Pandemic -- I'll point out that on the Conid site today, it is stated that Conid is holding off on taking new orders for awhile, while it continues to fill 253 existing orders (at the time of that Conid posting on its website). Figboot David's pen ended up costing him about $900, and he believes it's worth it. Look, a Montblanc 149 costs more than that, and as far as many (not necessarily all) pen lovers would think, is not as "good" as the Conid Kingsize. I look forward to the retaking of new orders by Conid, as I believe I'll want to get one, either the Regular size or the Kingsize.

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
