Fountain Pen: Limited to 1,898 pieces

Rollerball & Ballpoint: Limited to 898 pieces each

 

The Conklin Endura Abalone & Wood Limited Edition is a celebration of natural beauty, artisanal craftsmanship, and the enduring legacy of one of Conklin’s most iconic pen lines. The Endura, first introduced in the 1920s, quickly became beloved for its bold silhouette, reliable construction, and commitment to quality. It embodied the spirit of American writing culture during an era of rapid innovation—and today, it remains one of the most collectible and recognizable Conklin designs ever created.

 

This Limited Edition reimagines that classic Endura profile with breathtaking new materials. The cap and barrel are wrapped in genuine abalone shell, each piece hand-cut and individually laid to highlight its swirling spectrum of emerald greens, ocean blues, soft lavenders, and gold. Because abalone is a natural material, no two pens share the same pattern, making every piece a one-of-a-kind treasure.

 

Balancing the shimmering shell is a warm polished wood inlay, adding organic texture and grounding the design with an earthy sophistication. Together, the abalone and wood create a stunning fusion of earth and sea—a sensory experience both visual and tactile.

 

To complete the piece, the pen is adorned with rose-gold plated trim, including the engraved Conklin clip and classic Endura cap band. Each pen carries its own engraved number, marking its place within the exclusive global production:

• 0001–1898 for Fountain Pens

• 001–898 for Rollerballs

• 001–898 for Ballpoints

The Endura collection is available in three writing modes—Fountain Pen, Rollerball, and Ballpoint—each carefully designed to deliver exceptional balance and performance. The fountain pen is fitted with a premium rosegold JoWo stainless steel nib, offered in Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, Stub, and Omniflex, providing a smooth and expressive writing experience. Each fountain pen is equipped to use either ink cartridges or the included ink threaded converter. Paired with an expertly designed plasma-treated feed system, the pen delivers consistent, reliable ink flow, ensuring rich and even lines without skipping or blotting, regardless of your writing speed or style. The rollerball and ballpoint models are engineered for effortless everyday use and are compatible with standard international refills as well as GEL refills, allowing writers to choose the ink performance that best suits their style. The ballpoint comes with a Soft Roll™ ballpoint refill (71001) and includes a bonus GEL refill (72102). The rollerball is fitted with a GEL refill (72101).

 

 

The Abalone & Wood Limited Edition honors the original Endura’s legacy while transforming it into something entirely new. It is a modern collectible that blends historic design with natural artistry—crafted for those who cherish meaningful tools, exceptional materials, and the timeless heritage of Conklin writing instruments.
