For Fat Pen Lovers
Very simple smooth, sleek design. Warm, deep blue color. The steel nib (I am using F) writes smoothly and does not dry out quickly. Extremely affordable.

The pen is fine. Conklin nibs are all over the place in terms of actual sizing. This Medium was clearly a Fine, and also a bit dry. The ace nib in the Conklin is the stub, as they are typically wet and float as though suspended over the paper.
I changed the nib out and will work on it when I feel like it. Better dry than too wet. It now has a Conklin Fine installed, which is wet and smooth as glass and about about a Medium. Each nib is unique, generally. Not Pilots, assuredly, which provide perhaps the most consistently uniform and trouble free nibs throughout a very large product offering.
Excellent service from Anderson Pens. The Conklin AllAmerican and the Duragraph are great pens in terms of size - full size. The threads on the Conklins are somewhat coarse and need care when assembling.
