Hippocrates Review
Honestly, I am quite obsessed with how great it looks.
One thing to note is that it's a Fine nib, but it does write more like a medium. These are USA pens, as compared to the Japanese ones, where they're a little finer. So keep that in mind when you're purchasing this.

This is the Conklin Hippocrates, named for the father of medicine, and the name is even engraved at the top, which is very cool. It has some medicine iconography on the cap, which a lot of people do not notice, but it is completely beautiful.
I paired it with Private Reserve Copper Burst, trying to match the ink to the pen with the copper brown accents that this one has, and I think it's a perfect combination.
The Hippocrates with Copper Burst writes a little drier than its sibling, the Conklin Endura, with Private Reserve Shoreline Gold.
These ones usually stay in the clip of my standard-size Traveler's Company notebook. If I don't have the rest of my collection nearby, this one and the Endura are the pens that stay next to me.
