This silver replacement Conklin/Monteverde Omniflex #6 steel fountain pen nib unit made by JoWo will fit into most Conklin and Monteverde pens that accept a #6 nib.

This nib comes installed on a Conklin/Monteverde housing and feed. This nib is a standard #6 size JoWo nib, so it’ll be compatible with many other pens that are built to house #6 nibs. However, the threading on the housing may not be compatible with pens made by companies other than Monteverde and Conklin. In those instances, in order to replace another pen’s nib you’ll need to pull the Omniflex nib out of the housing before an attempt can be made to install it.

As with any modification or alteration to a pen, there exists the possibility of incompatibility, risk of damage, and warranty nullification. So keep these things in mind while you’re (carefully) exploring new possibilities! Our team will do our best to try to communicate where housing compatibility exists, but we will not have an answer for all pens so understand you may have to guess or experiment on your own.

Both the feed and housing are included.

Our note about the JoWo Omniflex nib: This flex nib will allow you to experience more bounce and softness than writing with conventional nibs. You can achieve some line variation with a little additional downward pressure, to a point. We recommend flexing the nib to about twice the line width that you would see without using any pressure. Please take care to avoid pressing too hard on the nib, as over-flexing could prevent the tines from returning fully to their original position and decrease or stop your ink flow.

Suggest replacement to fix a writing issue.

This was a suggest replacement to fix a writing issue with a pen purchased months ago. I only wish I had know enough to have reached out to customer service as soon as I received the pen as the original nib came to be damaged. I just thought I was doing something wrong. If I had realized, I would have been writing with my beautiful Monteverde Regatta since May.

I love this nib

I always like buy from Goulet Pens because I get great products and wonderful service!

Great Nib

I bought this Omniflex to replace a scratchy stub I had in a Conklin Duragraph. What a difference! This is a smooth writer that has a great "feel" and great ink flow. Wish I'd ordered the pen with this nib!

Not Flexy

I purchased this nib on a Conklin All American, the first pen I bought for myself. I really had so little experience that I didn't know what I was working with, got frustrated that I couldn't get much variation, and ended up replacing it with another nib I had. Just returned to it today, and I've got to say, this is just not a flex nib.

You can get separation with the tines the same way you would with any other nib. You have to push really hard. Which is impossible to do while writing naturally. You have to stop and focus on pushing down hard. And even then, there really isn't huge line variation. With all the pressure, you get indented railroad lines on the paper (even without ink) and the bottom of the nib lifts off of the feed, limiting the flow of ink. The standard feed does not deliver enough ink, nor is the nib flexible enough to even call this a flex nib. It's really just a fine/medium steel nib.

I'm sure it's a perfectly satisfactory (f)/(m), but it's a horribly frustrating flex nib. Marketed as such, it deserves no more than 1 star.
