Endura Deco Crest Fountain Pen in Orange with Rose Gold Accents – Fine Nib, Refillable Luxury Writing Instrument

Recently got into fountain pens. I'm not a fan of Orange, but DANG this thing is absolutely stunning, so I caved and got it. This pen looks amazing. By far my favorite looking pen (that I own). The weight is very nice (non-posted) and the feel is well balanced. This is on the heavier side, which I like. The nib writes well, and has a pleasant feel to it. Love that it is blacked out like the rest of the pen as well. Keeps it nice and dark themed. I believe I got a Fine tip nib, and it seems to write a little more towards the medium range based on other pens I own. The converter screws in!! I LOVE THAT! Not sure why, but I tend to think it just holds better and will likely have less issues on the plane if I don't pre-flight care for it enough. When used with Diamine Writers Blood ink, It writes really nicely and has a nice scratch to it. Flows well, and I haven't had any issues with dry starts or hard starts or anything like that. I just pick it up and go without worry. I have notice that if I want to draw a fast line all the way down the page, it will skip a little bit, but this COULD be the ink.... it is the only ink I have tried so far (because the color match is so rad) and I am not a fountain pen Tech, so the skipping could just be an ink that is a little more dry. Overall, this is my favorite fountain pen so far. The look, the feel, the weight, etc... just all feels really well balanced. I will close out and say that there ARE other fountain pen options that look like this (Asvine V169 for example) and I haven't found them to function quite as well as this one (on average), but you could absolutely go that route and still have a decent "skeleton" pen that doesn't break the bank and I think you'd be just as happy. However, I have yet to find one quite as stunning as this one, in the same price range, and from one of the oldest Fountain Pen Makers in the world.

In this case the saying "you get what you pay for" most definitely applies. This fountain pen is outstanding in everyway. I have many fountain pens because I can control my hand much better with one, this is by far one of the best writing fountain pens I have ever used. It is well balanced and when cap is posted it has threads to hold it on, this is what gives this pen the great balance and control. One of the attributes that I think makes a great pen is how smoothly it writes. Its exquisite when it comes to smooth writing, it is so smooth, yet still gives you control of how the quill moves across the page. It is very comfortable to hold and allows you to write for hours without cramping or your letting your hand get tired. The grip of the pen is great, which also gives it its great look. The orange and black is the color I chose because it stands out so well. I also purchased more of the brands replacement quills because for a fine point, it moves very smoothly, and I will use the extras on other fountain pens.

The pen is absolutely beautiful in person and appears well made. However, the pen itself is extremely heavy and when posted it feels unbalanced to my hand. It is too heavy for my comfort so I am returning it. All of my fountain pens that cost less than this one are perfectly balanced, so this was a an unfortunate surprise. If you have larger hands or stronger hands than I do, you may still enjoy it.

Have always loved pens of all shapes and sizes. Around the age of 12 I got my first lamy safari and never looked back. This Conklin endura Deca Crest is an absolute treat to write with. Good weight and feel. Love the orange and black contrast.

The Conklin Fountain Pen is a beautiful writing instrument. The Medium nib graces across the parchment with a wonderful ink flow. Go for it and be Creative...

Beautiful pin

I can't rate this high enough. It's my favorite pen. The weight when you put the cap on the back is perfect.

This quickly became an everyday use pen. The movement of the nib across the paper was very smooth. Many people have complimented the look. Very pleased.
