Stabilo fountain pen?

Recommended Posts

I saw that Stabilo has a number of fountain pens. Are they any good? I didn't see mention of converters. Do they have one or will they accept an international standard converter?

The Stabilo takes international cartridges, some models of the range have a strong curve to the barrel so I wouldn't take it as guaranteed that they will take a longer converter.

 

In terms of any good, they are sold as a school pen, I suggest that most old hands will be happier with a Lamy or Parker or even pens such as the Pelikan school models

I actually bought one, and it took a standard converter (the same size opening as a standard cartridge).

It's not a bad pen, but it really looks and feels like a school pen - I find I hardly ever use it. It's nice to use in ink experiments...

  I looked these up online, and I like that the nib is adjustable on the Easy Birdy, and that there are pens for right and left handed folks. 

Top 5 (in no particular order) of 20 currently inked pens:

MontBlanc 144 IB, FWP Edwards Gardens  

MontBlanc 310s F, mystery grey ink left in converter

Sheaffer Jr. Balance ebonized pearl F, Skrip Black

Pelikan M400 Blue striped OM, Troublemaker Abalone 

Platinum PKB 2000, Platinum Cyclamen Pink

always looking for penguin fountain pens and stationery

All my Stabilos take the Schmidt K5 which is a standard international converter. I have the EasyBirdy, EasyBuddy, and Grow. The EasyBirdy has a rotatable nib/grip like the Sailor Tuzu. It predated the Tuzu, and you need a special plastic tool to loosen the nut to turn the nib. The nibs are produced for them by Bock. They have a very nice feed, and all of mine work very well

Stolen: Aurora Optima Demonstrator Red ends Medium nib. Serial number 1216 and Aurora 98 Cartridge/Converter Black bark finish (Archivi Storici) with gold cap. Reward if found. Please contact me if you have seen these pens.

Please send vial orders and other messages to fpninkvials funny-round-mark-thing gmail strange-mark-thing com. My shop is open once again if you need help with your pen.

Stabilo fountain pens are a little different from other "school" pens. They are available in Germany and have a model with a wooden barrel, an ecological approach.
