What kind of converter works best with these pens? I've tried a couple versions of international converters. The barrel of one was too thick to go into the barrel of the pen and the opening of another was too wide.

RFeiertagExcellent question, I only found two converters in my collection that fit Ohto sections, sadly both unbranded. One came with my Knox Plato from Birmingham Pens, and the second is a Chinese slide/syringe type converter. Since it seems to be hard to find converters that fit the description should be changed. Massdrop?

kpluskplus, I'm hoping to get to our local pen store in a few days to see if they can find a fit. If Massdrop offers these pens again, I hope they'll include converters. I'll let you know if I find anything that suits!

RFeiertagI can tell you the Lamy Z26 converter does NOT fit this pen. Finding out what exactly is meant by "standard international converter" is going to cost me a bundle by the time I finally find one.

DSpaceNineI have several "standard international converters" in different sizes and widths. One wonders what people think the definition of "standard" is.

RFeiertagProbably the most standard of standard international converters would have to be the Schmidt K5 Converter, since many pen manufacturer's use rebranded Schimdt K5s as their own brand's standard converter.
I've seen at least one user report that says a K5 worked with their OHTO Dude.
@DSpaceNine - no surprise the Lamy Z26 didn't work since Lamy converters are proprietary and only intended to fit their own pens.

JaggiJaggi,
Thank you. That sounds like the information we needed.
