Kaweco CLASSIC SPORT Fountain Pen Black with 23 Carat Gold-Plated Steel Nib and Iridium Tip for Ink Cartridges I Sport Fountain Pen 13 cm I Nib: M (Medium)

This writes well with a fine nib. Smoother than my Chinese pens. It lives with a little notepadin my purse but I'll need to make something to carry it in so it won't get lost. I think it's about 1/2" shorter than I'd like so maybe a student or parkeo is next. The color is a dark brownish red and looks great with caramel brown cartridges. It did not work with the Dryden cartridges and they are supposed to be universal. I ordered a cap clip separately in bronze and it looks nice but I'm not sure why the pens didn't come with them to begin with. I've heard the converters are ridiculously small so I won't invest in that. Very cute pen. Love that the lid screws on. I would buy again but would also check out slightly bigger options. This pen has to be posted which is not a problem. It's balanced and not heavy and the cap stays on.

I love this pen! The NIB (extra Broad) is so smooth and writes lovely. The ink cartridge was a nice shade of blue.

I have nothing bad to say about this pen - for the price, I find it to be an excellent writer, with an unique design. I had been attracted to the design for quite some time and I also wanted to have a nice pocket pen that I can travel with, but I had seen quite a few reviews that said that the nib had problems, such as skipping or "baby's bottom" or being to dry. First of all, the Kaweco Sport is a great travelling companion because of its compact size, its price range and the fact that it take international cartridges. I actually did take it on a plane trip (my first with a fountain pen) and used it on the plane with a cartridge and all was well. My only very small criticism of the pen's construction is that I feel that the cap seems to be ever so slightly too large for the barrel - in terms of the way it fits on it, there is some movement and it is not tight enough. The cap is perfectly secure when posted, because it posts so deeply, but there is some play between the barrel and the cap.Where the pen truly shines for me though is in the smoothness of the nib, which has a very unique feel to it that I had not expected from a 20 dollar pen - I absolutely love the feel of the medium nib but it is very hard to describe. The way it is tuned is just unique feeling and so buttery. I would encourage you not to judge the pen's performance on just the cartridge it comes with, the Kaweco ink seemed to be on the dry side - and the pen seemed to skip at first for me too. I have since cleaned it and refilled the cartridges with wetter inks and it is one of my favorite writers - and it has made me want to get another Kaweco with a different body and the same nib.

Pros:-Nice small design that is perfect for a pocket or bag-Easy eye dropper (filling barrel with ink for more capacity) conversions-Takes international short cartridges-Cap screws on-Doesn't leak (at least from what I know)Neutral:-Small-Lightweight-PlasticCons:-Unreliable quality-Scratchy-Blue ink that pen comes with is horrible-Requires special fountain pen paper or card stock-No clip/converter-Converter that you can purchase is tinyMore detail:The Kaweco Sport fountain pen is a small pocket style fountain pen first designed in the 1930's. It has a classic design that is perfect for small hands and pockets/bags. As it is all plastic, it is lightweight and is perfect for eye dropper conversions. Inside the pen, it takes international short cartridges or Kaweco mini converters. However, the model I received was a bit scratchy and the Royal Blue ink was horrible. The lack of a clip and converter in the box (although they can be purchased separately) is a bit of a drawback. Using silicon grease, you can convert this pen into an eye dropper to increase the capacity.Verdict:4/5 stars. It's a fountain pen and it works, but it isn't the most durable and a bit unreliable and scratchy. I personally do not have one, but I would recommend a Pilot Metropolitan instead. Same price but metal and smoother. Unless you are dead set on the Sport, listen to the other people on the internet who claim the Metro is better. They're probably right.

Kawecos are cool because they write well and they are easy enough to deal with. It's a very similar feeling to a Lamy. Both are reliable German pens you'll probably use instead of your fancy gift pens in the case because they just work nicely. When you buy these on amazon always confirm that you are getting the metal box. This one just came in a plastic bag and I felt shorted. The little tins are nice. I have an aluminum one as well, and i like that slightly better because it feels better in my hand. They are both short pens that could be in your pocket. This one is plastic so I would not gift it to someone unless they are already a pen geek. Normies would say "oh a plastic fountain pen, thanks"the nibs on these things are steel (gold colored) and they are a joy to use (truly a lamy-quality experience) after you've fought visconti's uneven, weird, frustrating, but super expensive palladium nib.refills do leak a bit out the nib sometimes so really wipe it off. It's easy to get a leak in the cap section that will then put ink at the end of the barrel section when you post the cap. because these things are small it's hard to clean out the cap other than by rinsing it with water.the kaweco piston converters are tiny. Granted the pen is small but looking in the barrel section one would be forgiven for thinking that there's a bunch of wasted volume in there. Therefore, it's time to try the silicone grease trick that is supposed to allow one to just fill the barrel section with ink. I am thinking you could get like 3mL of ink in there no problem. Plastic pens only; do not attempt with the aluminum or brass models. You need those threads to seal.Kawecos are awesome. I wish they made a bigger size for export to the US. I'd buy it.

Good compact fountain pen

Well made. The pen is a little too short to hold and too light, but writing with it feels smooth

Sign my watercolour,calligraphy etc..Beautiful!

I love the colour of this pen. Unfortunately, the nib has some problems. It’s soft, but has some skipping. It’s nothing terrible, but a bit annoying. I’m glad Kaweco’s nibs are super easy to swap.

Caneta mto bonita. Escreve super bem. Mas, na descrição diz que é ponta média. Mas, veio uma ponta fina (particularmente não é minha preferida)! Ponta bem fina, arranja bastante o papel.

I have 9 Kaweco Sport fountain pens and now I had a red one. Excellent service, fine writing ahead.

Just got this last night after coming home from work and I can't stop writing or doodling. Really wish I had a fountain pen growing up because having one would have made me want to write more, maybe even do better in school. I dont have any 'proper' paper but it is so satisfying writing by barely making contact. I am not an artistic person in the traditional sense - metalworker/fabricator - but this ignited a fire in me, I'm just dying to write. Highly recommend trying a reasonably priced, well made fountain pen at some point in your life, if you havent already!
