Noodler's Konrad, acrylic

I have so many feelings about this pen. It's $22.54 shipped.

Good:

• I really appreciate them making flex pens available so inexpensively.
• The Ease My Flex mod can apparently make it much more flexible.
• I love the cap over the piston knob, and don't understand why this is uncommon.
• A replacement flex nib costs $7.54 shipped.
• Ebonite feed - can be heat set, which is awesome, unlike plastic.
• Piston filling is nice.
• Clip can easily be removed if you don't want it.
• The grip is a nice shape.
• Made to be fiddled with.

Bad:

• New versions don't fit #6 nibs. I'm very surprised by this, since the maker seems so enthusiastic about interchangeability.
• Un-removable inner cap wicks up ink. Soaking overnight, or squirting a lot with a blunt syringe, have not helped at all alone. Together they work, but take a while. (My pen is clear, so that's ugly.)
• The inside of the clip is made up of claws, which caused several pulls in the pocket of my jeans it was clipped too. I fixed it with a hammer.
• Nib clicked one out of three times I tried to flex it, until I re-seated it several times, has been fine since.
• The clip (where it's bent) gouged the paint on one of my Pilot Metropolitans clipped in my jeans next to it.
• The pen has been a bit messy, I suspect caused by a gap between the nib and feed, which may be fixable with heat setting.
• Needs to be fiddled with.
