Symetrik Retired - no longer available
Need bottled ink
or refills?
"Wow-wow-wow! The "F" is
indeed fine -- in every sense of the word. The "F"-nibbed Conklin Symetrik shall
serve perfectly as a marginalia instrument. I'm actually looking forward now to
the next waves of essays from my students. And the pen is so lightweight and
comfortable in my hand that fatigue will be set back by several hours at least.
I'm running Monteverde brown ink in it, and I must say-- Monteverde
ink is hands-down the best I've used. Other inks seem scratchy and
unpredictable in comparison. The Monteverde ink lays down like compliant,
silicone grease. Thank you, Norman, for making these excellent products
available and thank you, also, for all the top-notch assistance you provide." "Hi Norman, I tested Symetrik
for several hours. Already filled many times, simply so enjoyable and I could
not stop writing. It is really a terrific writer. Ink flow is super (wet!) and I
really love it. It really looks so beautiful and this beauty writes great as
well. Several hours of writing is easy with no fatigue due to its feather-like
weight & excellent ink flow. What a terrific writer! I would never know these
are such wonderful writing instrument without your reviews and presentation.
Thank you again for introducing these
nice pens to us and your great customer care/supports."

IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.
The only 100% guarantee of course
comes when the pen is
actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our
pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is
getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using
a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords
our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from
His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!
