Schmidt K2 Vs Schmidt K5 Converter?

[The Blue Knight]

I need to buy around a dozen converters so I'm conscious of the price difference. Is there much of a difference as the cheapest I can find the k2 is £1.60 and the cheapest I can find the K5 is £3.10. I realise the K5 is higher quality but I'm wondering from a functional point of view does it function better e.g. less likely to hold up ink etc?

The K5 has a transparent plastic reservoir. The K2 is translucent. k5 is better quality. Enquire with some vendors like ASA pens etc. the prices you have found are too high.

Thank you, I think you may have saved me around £15 I've found a far cheaper source.

The K2 is a fraction slimmer than the K5. This may be important if you want to fit it into a pen with a slim barrel.

I'm looking to buy around the same amount of K5s. Care to share the source?

I'd go to Cult Pens UK. (no affiliation)

Cult Pens sell it for £3.49 each whereas Taylors Mirfield do them for £2.85.

 

The original poster said they'd saved £15 on the dozen (12 x £3.10 = £37.20), or paid £1.83 each, so was hoping for as cheap a deal.
