All American Fountain Pen, Turquoise Serenity - S

The Conklin All American fountain pen is a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern performance. Its large, comfortable design feels great in hand, and the steel nib delivers a smooth, consistent writing experience. With its beautiful resin finish and excellent craftsmanship, it's a must-have for any fountain pen enthusiast.

My brownstone version of this pen has a very rich blending of colors, with a few pearlescent highlights. The acrylic is so thick that there is no need to fear chipping of the cap opening, even without a metal trim ring. The pen posts well.This is my second Conklin pen with their black stub nib. Like the first, it writes very smoothly, especially for a stub, and with a little attention to angle and pressure is capable of some extreme flex-like effects.

my big hand found the section not as big as it looked but it's not too skinny. the converters in this conklin and my last are flimsy, and the first one leaked at the place where it connects to the pen section. if not for this, i would have given it five stars despite the grip being less thick than it looked. the screw in depth, i think is off, you have to go in deeper than you would think, and then you worry about stripping the threads. if the converter wasn't so flimsy, it would not be so easy to over twist or crush the converter tube. lately, I've begun cleaning and filling the cartridges that come with my pens. because the cartridges are stiffer, they all seem to provide better flow and draw up air better, allowing ink to flow down without skipping or hard stops. the nib was smooth. Conklin, just shorten the metal converter ring it screws into, or better yet, get rid of threads in there all together. beautiful pen. ps. make one a few mm thicker, and give a hooded nib option, and you'd outsell them all. despite the issues, these beautiful pens are always one of my everyday carries. pps, you can engrave images on pens, make some affordable $45 or less themed pens, maybe an edgar allan poe, with a raven on it, or his quote about love, "I loved her for herself alone."I began to have trouble with inks drying out while in use. I tried a few different inks, but all dried out while writing. It turned out that the crescent moon opening, breather hole, was too large, I covered it in clear packing tape, now it writes lushly and sustains wetness better than some of my other pens. I was worried that ink would not flow, but the nib is very open underneath, giving it lots of air. Conklin, just shrink your breather hole. Edited 2023, November.

I have not owned a Conklin prior to this, and I am just amazed by the beautiful color, size, weight, craftsmanship, and amazing control of the nib (I did change out the nib for a Conklin Rose Gold Omniflex). The pen is rather large, so for someone who has smaller hands, be mindful if you do not like a bigger pen. Came beautifully packaged in a nice (faux) leather box with 1 blue and 1 black ink cartridge, and an ink converter. This will be a great addition to my fountain pen collection. If you are new(er) to fountain pens this would be a great taste of a higher end quality fountain pen without the high-end price tag. Well done Conklin.

I wasn't sure what to expect. It's a large pen but very comfortable to write with. The nib is broader than I usually use but the line variation is phenomenal and the price is hard to beat. It's a wet writer, but sometimes starts a little hard. I wound up having the nib tuned, the tines were slightly misaligned, and now the problem is solved. The sample is from before I did that.

The media could not be loaded. Muy linda la pluma pero no cumple con su propósito, como se muestra en el vídeo no baja la tinta. Me salió más buena una pluma Cross de $18.Boté el dinero.Deberían de reembolsar el dinero.Very nice pen but it doesn't serve its purpose, as shown in the video it doesn't get the ink down. I got a better $18 Cross pen.I threw my money away.They should refund the money.

I really like this pen but the nib clogs up and gives hard starts and skips. I tried 2 different inks but it still kept skipping. The pen itself is beautiful and girthy.

Very good quality and solid feeling fountain pen. It can be posted but is long enough that it doesn't need to be. The medium nib writes very smooth and wet.

En General, me gusta esta marca de plumas. tengo otras 2 de la serie all American. Todo mal con este envío, llegó usada. Yo la compré como punto fino y es 1.1mm stub.

Arrived quickly. Item exactly as advertised. Excelente nib, smooth waiting.

Love this pen. Beautiful tortoiseshell design. Arrived with a stub-nose nib.Surprised to find how much I enjoy writing with it. A nice companion formy Conklin Brownstone.

Caneta muito bonita e com ótimo acabamento, a pena stub dá um toque especial na escrita.

This pen is a classic. Meant for signing important stuff. I have the Brownstone model. Simple yet elegant. Bold while being understated. Writes beautifully. A bit on the large size, but still fits the hand nicely.Perfect for people who don't want a skinny pen.
