Conklin Duraflex Juniper Fountain Pen
This limited edition Conklin Duraflex fountain pen has an emerald green resin base, with swirls of teal and turquoise. It is complemented with chrome trim and fills via standard international converter or cartridge (both included). The Conklin Duraflex fountain pen is now offered with your choice of a reliable, smooth-writing German made JoWo #6 silver steel nib in extra-fine, fine, medium, broad, or 1.1mm stub, or the Omniflex flexible silver steel nib for variation in line width.
Each pen is individually numbered out of 288 pieces.
The Duragraph draws its inspiration from the rich heritage of the Conklin brand, which was purchased and revived by Yafa in 2009. It is manufactured in Asia, assembled and distributed from Canoga Park, California, and pays tribute to its roots with a "Toledo, Ohio" engraving on its nib and barrel. The cap top is embellished with the Conklin Est. 1898 logo and the cap band are engraved with the famous Duragraph model script font with three Conklin Crescent logos on either side of the model name.
In 1923, the Duragraph model was launched, and shortly afterwards was considered to be "the definitive" pen. The model was named by combining the words, durable and graph - Duragraph. Created to last as an heirloom to serve many generations, the Duragraph is offered with a lifetime guarantee. In honor of the Duragraph's 91st birthday, Conklin has introduced a new Duragraph collection that brings a fresh, modern style to a timeless oversize flat top design. Crafted from quality hand made resins, the Duragraph is substantial in size, yet not so large to be unwieldy in the hand.
The Duragraph offers the ideal choice for your individual handwriting style. The cap top mounted clip allows the pen to sit low in the pocket, making this model a more practical choice for everyday use. Each Conklin fine writing instrument is housed in a luxury gift presentation box lined with rich satin. It comes with a converter and also accepts short standard international cartridges. Ideal as a perfect gift for yourself or a loved one, this model is the right size for both men and women who use fine writing instruments in their daily professional lives.
Note: this pen is engraved with the "Duraflex" name, even if you are choosing a non-flex standard nib.

This pen has a gorgeous body and omniflex nib that is like a piece of statement jewelry; I wish I could leave it uncapped and permanently on display. It's got a bit of a hard start for me, hence i gave it only 4 stars. But I am a bold/stub nib user, so I'm used to free flowing thick lines. I would highly recommend this pen. Buyers beware: the Conklins you can order on Amazon do NOT have the same quality nibs. Truphae isn't paying me to say that; it's an observation I've made from several bad experiences. I've switched to buying my pens from legit retailers and urge you to do the same for the optimal fountain pen experience.
Very nice lightweight fountain pen. It has become my favorite.
Given the absolutely horrific experience I had with a Conklin All American Walnut/Gun Metal I swore off Conklin, but then saw a Reddit poster showing off this pen. I took a chance on it, and I am glad I did. Thank goodness it wasn’t a disaster like the All American that wouldn’t write. The color of this pen is gorgeous. My only complaint is that while the cap posts, it posts awkwardly and feels off balance when posted. Other than that I’m happy!
