## Description

Ahoy and call me Ishmael! The new Noodler's Ahab flex pen is crafted from a celluloid derivative with its profile inspired by the shape of Ahab's Great White Whale. The stainless steel nib is flexible ranging from a fine point to medium thickness with gentle finger pressure on the downstrokes. Larger in size than the Noodler's Nib Creeper Flex nib the Ahab measures 5.47 closed (capped) and 6.7 with cap posted. Fills via ink pump or can also be used as an eyedropper fill. Cannot use ink cartridges to fill.

Review: A fantastic fountain pen and a tremendous value - I haven't used fountain pens for many years. I remembered them as being messy, fussy and inconsistent creatures; I moved to ballpoint pens and never looked back. Until now. I ran across a description of the Noodlers Ahab Flex Tip pen in a NaNoWriMo forum and started browsing. This flex tip pen allows varying thicknesses of line. It is also extremely modular (can be completely disassembled without any tools). I was intrigued and the relatively low cost of this pen made it an easy purchase decision. When it arrived, I dipped it in my Noodlers Bullet Proof Black ink and drew back on the piston. Surprisingly, almost no ink was drawn into the chamber. I did some googling and found my problem: you have to insert the entire nib all the way up to where the grip begins (otherwise, the air pathways in the nib aren't sealed by the ink and there isn't any vacuum for the piston to work with). I also found an instruction video on how to pre-clean the Noodler (with a bit of dish detergent and ammonia with water), which was surprisingly easy and quick to do (followed by a clean water rinse). Once the pen was cleaned and primed with ink, it has been a joy to use. Even day to day, just unscrewing the cap and putting the pen to paper--it works every time without fail. The ink flows. It is a delight to use, capable of both finer and thicker lines through varying pressure. The one proviso I would add (as a neophyte fountain pen user)--don't touch the nib once it is primed with ink. The ink flow is fast and you will get an inky fingertip very quickly. I expect to enjoy this pen for many, many years. One other note: there have been two versions of the Cardinal Darkness pen. The original version was red with traces of black. The new version is black with traces of red. To my mind the new version (which is what I received) is much nicer than the original.
Review: This pen is garbage - I love a good flex pen, but this was not it. This was my first noodler pen and while I love their ink, this pen is not good. The internal mechanism that drives the converter broke within the first month. There is a tiny plastic tube inside that did not stay attached and now it’s useless. Even when it did work, the converter was unclear - more an amber color. The flex is not there either. The pen skips when trying to flex it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic fountain pen and a tremendous value
*by N***D on November 21, 2012*

I haven't used fountain pens for many years. I remembered them as being messy, fussy and inconsistent creatures; I moved to ballpoint pens and never looked back. Until now.

### ⭐⭐⭐ great pen
*by S***O on July 15, 2013*

This pen has a geat size, but the nib is only one size. The ink flow is very good. So, this pen is exelent for begginers.
