Review: Buy it, Ink it and don't look back! - I have been using fountain pens for going on 50 years...from the vintage Parker 51s I got from my Dad (still have them BTW) and the old Schaeffer which I've converted to an eyedropper right up through a pricey Visconti Voyager Kaleido...I love them...there is no finer writing instrument in the world. With all the pens I have, I've never owned a stub nib. When I saw that the Conklin brand was back and offered this beautiful pen in a stub nib for under $50 I knew eventually I'd buy it. Truthfully, I bounced it in and out of my cart for a week or so and finally pulled the trigger. Glad I did! First off, the pen is well made, well balanced and is a smooth writer right out of the box. I inked it up, ran a few 8s and the ink started flowing right away. The stub nib is interesting as you get broad down strokes and thinner cross strokes. From an aesthetic standpoint it makes my handwriting look better than it is. There is just the right amount of wetness and there is some feedback but not scratchy at all. I like a little feedback, some don't...to each their own. The pen posts just fine and does not seem overly big when posted. People with smaller hands may want to use it unposted but, again, the posted balance is good. As I just received the pen, I cannot yet speak to the overall durability but given the quality construction I see no reason why it will not last for generations. If you clean your fountain pens once in a while and run decent ink through them they will last a good long time...one of my 51s is a South America vintage from 1939-40 and writes well still. If you want a pen you can be proud of (pair it with the Duragraph Ballpoint for a nice set, I did) or that you can give as a gift...you will not be disappointed. For the price, again assuming it does not develop any problems down the road, this is a very high value writing instrument. It's not a Visconti or a Sailor or top end Pelikan but for a 10th the price you'll never feel underpenned!
Review: High quality, smooth wet writer, plus top-notch customer service. - I bought this pen with a Fine nib originally. It felt dry and scratchy from the get go. I tired some different inks and papers, but nothing helped. I have had similar troubles with Fine nibs on other pens, too. I also have pens with Medium nibs that are consistently wet and smooth. I wrote to Yafabrands.com and asked them if I could exchange my Fine nib for a Medium. To my delight, they mailed me a Medium replacement nib unit at no charge and did not require an exchange. It's easy to unscrew the old nib unit and screw in the new one. Now the pen writes DELIGHTFULLY smooth and wet. It just glides across any paper without any friction. I would compare the feel to a TWSBI ECO, which is known for smooth, wet, wrtiing. The quality of the construction of this pen is outstanding. The included converter screws in, but the pen also accepts standard international cartridges if you choose to use those (handy when traveling). It's a very handsome pen as well. I am drawn to the 1920's nostalgic look. The cap posts securely to the barrel when you are writing with it. It does not dry out, have hard starts, or skips. So far I've tried Parker Black Quink and Waterman's Intense Black ink in it (both available at desertcart.com), and it writes superbly across different papers. I highly recommend this pen, but in a Medium nib. Because of the quality of this pen, it's beautiful design, it's smooth wet writing, and Yafabrands.com's outstanding customer service, I rate it 5 stars.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Attractive throwback design...
*by N***1 on December 16, 2017*

This is an attractive pen, presented in a handsome stitched faux leather box. I don't know if it's a full-on copy of Conklin's old Duragraph, but it's a well-executed throwback design. As a writer, the Duragraph holds its own against other pens in the $30-60 price class, and though I've read complaints about Conklin nibs this one wrote well out-of-the-box. It lays down a good, wet line with a nib as smooth as the Lamy Safari, Lamy Al-Star, Pilot Metropolitan, Sheaffer VFM, etc. The nib is steel and stiff... The converter threads into the feed, it doesn't just press in--a first in my experience. I prefer piston fillers for ease of filling and greater capacity. For that reason and for smoothness of writing action I rank the TWSBI Eco and Diamond 580 ahead of this pen. But TWSBI sets the bar high, and the Duragraph's no slouch even if it doesn't have the exquisite smoothness and huge reservoir of TWSBI. Buy this pen for its looks. It's a competent pen that, like the TWSBI, competes with more expensive pens--TWSBI on the basis of writing excellence, this pen on the basis of a classy throwback design. Though the Duragraph isn't a demonstrator, its celluloid barrel and cap permit glimpses of the working parts of the pen when the pen is closed. The cap posts, but barely. There's just enough purchase for the cap to teeter precariously off the back of the pen when in use. I don't care for the back-heavy feel, but at least it posts. If a cap doesn't post I find it distracting. The Duragraph's clip is stiff and attractive. It looks solid from the front, its back is concave. But the ciip's tear-drop bottom is elegant, and the whole is well-polished. Three trim rings are equally bright. Inside the section, the threads attaching the section to the barrel are metal. The cap itself attaches to the barrel by threads in the cellulose of barrel and cap. Buy this pen for its looks. For the price you can get between 3 and 20 Jinhaos that will write just as well. But they won't have the elegance of this pen.
