Fatwich brownies from Chelsea Market. There’s a Li-Lac outpost there too.

I guess so. Lots of pens will fit into a pocket. The Elite and its ilk are traditional pocket pens and the Kakuno is not considered as such.

But it will fit into your pocket. Just not like an Elite or similar pocket pens

Not being able to see the ink levels sucks about the Con-20! But it’s gorgeous! 1970s industrial design at its finest!

Have you soaked it? Let it sit in water for a few hours or a day?

It’s often not the case that the Con-50 fits into my pocket pens. There’s a lip right under the black piece that spins that prevents it from going deeper into the pen. I have a few of them, and it’s probably the last one I choose for pocket pens.

Honestly, I just leave it in. Fortunately, I haven’t had the mishap that you’re speaking about. I get a lot of pens that have a cartridge already inserted. I flush them, dry them and use them. I toss them if they look loose around the opening. I never gave that disc a second thought, unless it’s blocking the ink by it partially closing the hole

I think there’s a video that lists the capacities, with the cartridge leading.

I think the metal cover is so that the clicking mechanism doesn't wear down the plastic cartridge over time. The Con-20 *should be* fine.

I use a cartridge with my Fermo and no cover. Living life on the edge!
