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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eInkball Tip\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pen comes with a removable Inkball tip, available in .5mm and .7mm sizes.

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\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eO-Rings\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pen has an o-ring in the cap for a smooth closing action and leak proof seal.
