Conklin/Monteverde JoWo Omniflex #6 Steel Nib Unit - Black
This black 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.

Customer Reviews
I purchased a Conklin flex pen some years ago, and the nib just never quite worked right. It always required a bit of shaking to start, and skipped and laddered if flexed. I tried resetting it numerous times since the flex was so useful for sketching, but it never really worked right until eventually, my messing with the nib damaged the feed. So I got this replacement. It's been a joy since I first used it. Starts instantly, writes beautifully, and when sketching the flex works seamlessly and juicily. Not sure what the difference was, or how this one was set up, but it's my new go-to sketch pen.
I love my Conklin 1898 with OmniFlex nib and was so sad when i accidentally dropped it and bent a tine. I emailed Goulet and Adrianne let me know I could just buy a replacement nib. I love a pen I can service myself and company that helps me find know that.
I have a Conklin Endura Deco Crest that looks awesome but the nib it came with was not great and never worked well. The JoWo Omniflex doesn't really flex that much but I was expecting this. The website had a great description of the product which covered their opinion of the flex. The nib works great and I am happy I can use my pen now.
I didn't understand this nib. It's really softer than regular nib, however, after using it, the halves came apart and now nib writes with gaps and poor flow. I don't want to talk bad about the pen or the store, but I won't use this nib anymore.
Great! Saved one of my favorite pens! Awesome service. Goulet is the best!
