I say full sized since it fits not just  cartridges but a converter as well. I personally love small pens so this was a design exercise out of my comfort zone. This pen uses a Schmidt K5 converter and houses a Jowo #6 nib (or some other options below!). Even though it fits a converter, it was also designed to be a compact pen fitting with my style. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eNibs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pen comes with a steel Jowo #6 nib.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYou can add a Monoc Nib to this pen\u003c\/strong\u003e.

I love Ultem as I started my career before pens making scientific instruments out of this material. Plus it has the cool yellow\/amber color in its natural form. Peek is another very cool engineered plastic, so I made this design in Peek as well. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eO-Rings\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pen has an o-ring in the cap for a smooth closing action and leak proof seal.
