14046 Qufu Jade Konrad Flex

This flex nib puts down a beautifully wet line that widens dramatically with just a bit of pressure, and the jade resin has a deep, almost translucent glow in sunlight. It's quickly become the pen I reach for when I want my handwriting to feel a little more expressive.

Flex nibs can be tricky, but this one surprised me—the jade resin has a nice weight to it and the nib lays down a wet, expressive line without much pressure. I've been using it for daily journaling and am genuinely impressed with how smooth it writes right out of the box.

The flex nib gives just the right amount of line variation without being finicky, and the jade color is even richer in person than on the screen. It's been my go-to for everyday writing since it arrived, and the flow has been perfectly consistent from the first dip.
