Kaweco BRASS SPORT Fountain Pen I Exclusive Brass Reservoir Pen for Ink Cartridges Including Retro Metal Box I Writing Instrument 13 cm I Nib: EF (Extra Fine)

Bought this as I have a few other Kaweco pens, but wanted one with a decent width to fit in a custom made notes folder. This is a really solid pen and being brass after just a few days it looks like an antique, like you had it passed down the family to you. The pen is solid in the hand, you have to place the cap on the rear in use (otherwise it is too short for you hand). Not everyone will like a pen of this weight, but i prefer the solidity. In terms of writing this is smooth with excellent distributino of ink onto the paper. The nib is quite thin but this makes for a pen you can write a lot with. I left this pen and didn't touch it for 3 months (I was not using it during lockdown), after 3 months of non use I opened it and started to write. I expected it to have dried up, or take a while to get going. To my surprise it wrote on the very first stroke, like I had just used it yesterday. This speaks to the enduring quality and engineering in the pen. Sure this is an expensive pen, but it will last you a lifetime and be a trusted writing companion.

The actual pen body is very nice made of untreated brass, which develops a lovely patina over time. If you don't like the patina I do not recommend this pen. It is extremely durable, you could throw it around outside on concrete and still expect to write with it. The pen is quite heavy, at around 48g. The pen is very short unposted and is unsuable without being posted unless you have small hands. The pen is slightly back heavy when posted, and slightly front heavy when not. The nib is really quite small, it is about the same size as a standard lamy nib, like on the safari/AL-Star or studio. The nib writes okay, about as well as a parker sonnet steel, not quite as good as a lamy studio. However the nib can be swapped out for a 14K gold version. I bought the version of this pen with a fine nib, I find it writes like a Chinese extra fine and it lays down a rather dry line when using the kaweco ink cartridges. You may find your writing experience slightly different though. If you are looking for a durable pen that will last you years for quick note taking or writing things down, I highly recommend this pen, I wouldn't write an essay with it personally, its just too heavy, but overall great buy and I have no regrets.

I love this pen. Small, robust, writes and handles extremely well. I love the rugged practical look which is ideal for my work. Thoroughly recommend!

What a cracking little pen! I ordered an extra fine nib, and it writes beautifully, straight from the tin. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because very occasionally the nib section becomes very slightly unscrewed. It's no major issue, just a minor annoyance, but it's there. Other than that, it's great. It needs the lid posted whilst writing in order to maintain a nice balance, and if you have to put it down, you can do so secure in the knowledge that the pen won't roll off the desk. Highly recommended.

Really deserves the 5 star rating. Solid and balanced in the hand, and is a smooooooth writer. I have the brass version. It looks great now that it’s had some use. Buy with confidence.

Loved the kaweco sport for years ao invested in a more robust material in the brass to take to work. I love the extra weight in my hand and it feels very strong and durable. The typical excellent writing experience you expect from a kaweco sport, and even the little tin it comes in is quite charming. Quickly become my new every day carry fountain pen.

A good pen, I owned Lamys for many years but I found they often leaked. This is probably one of the heaviest pens out there, which is okay for me. The flat sided lid is very comfortable and the fact that it screws on closed is good. I was surprised at how short it is when closed, and without the lid. It really does need the lid on the back to be a comfortable writing size. Only minor issue is the brass can sometimes leave your hand a bit greenish I've noticed, I don't know if that is a new user thing or if it is a constant part of using the pen. Luckily this doesn't bother me but it may bother some... The main issue I have is that the lid does not fasten very securely any more (after 3 years). Maybe the lid threading is worn or gunked up - but the threading is very shallow so this seems likely to affect others as well.

Quality pens. I had the roller ball version and just fancied a fountain pen for some reason, not even sure why,.very good thanks

One look at this pen and I just had to have it. I paired it with a bronze clip and after it has tarnished, it just looks gorgeous. The subtle contrast of color between the brass and bronze is amazing and I love it. It writes smooth, its definitely heavy as far as pens go but its nicely balanced when you post the cap. Its small size means you can easily take it with you wherever. It came with the tin which includes a cartridge of blue ink which is nice. I also bought the mini piston converter since I have bottled ink but its nice they include a cartridge. The obvious downside is the cost, but I can say that it's been worth the money. I've read some comments about the threads on the body digging into their fingers when they hold the pen - I can say personally that the threads are not very sharp or deep and don't bother me whatsoever. You can definitely feel they are there, but they don't interfere at all with my writing so it's not an issue for me. Overall its a very nice looking pen that feels great to use and hasn't disappointed me.

何よりオシャレ。 重量感もあって書き味も良し

Nice pen with very smooth writing. I collect many pens and this has already one of my favourites. I have taken the silver model also in broad nib. For writing in diaries fine nib is good, for signatures & casual drawing & writing, broad one is a blessing kind of thing. Thanks for making such a beautiful thing. Purchased broad nib from stationery physically, as it was not available online. That one is also awesome. Brilliant product.

Metall-Füllfederhalter wie die von z.B. Kaweco werden keine Probleme haben, die Lebenserwartung ihrer Besitzer zu übertreffen - ganz unabhängig des Alters der Besitzer. Typisch für Kaweco ist leider das Federroulette. Mit Glück erhält man eine ganz vorzügliche Feder (wie ich in diesem Fall) oder aber eine eher trockenschreibende mit mickrigem Tintenfluss. Wie gesagt, dies ist typisch für Kaweco. Auch typisch für Kaweco ist der gute Kundenservice... bei Bedarf mal nachfragen. Ansonsten sind die Federn vergleichsweise günstig (und es passen auch alle Bock 060 Federn - falls einem die Prägung auf der Feder egal ist und man Zugriff auf ein erweitertes Sortiment haben möchte). Bei diesem Füller gilt das recht hohe Gewicht (bei entsprechender Kürze) zu berücksichtigen. Für sehr große oder schwache Hände mag das nicht der richtige Füller sein.

Design: The form factor is pretty brilliant. It closes up small enough to fit anywhere and the cap screws securely into place. It was actually smaller than I expected, even when posted, but not so small that it was in any way uncomfortable. I had no problems writing with it even with my larger hands. I find the octagonal design to be incredibly attractive. It's very distinctive and combined with the brass gives it a very 19th century feel. Construction: I can't compliment the brass enough. The raw finish means that the thing will age and patina beautifully. It may scratch a little easily, but that only adds character. The brass also adds a very satisfying heft, giving even this relatively small pen a premium feel. Still, it wasn't as heavy as I worried it might be. While it feels solid in the hand, it isn't so weighty that you'd notice it in your pocket. Writing: The F steel nib feeds beautifully. Mine is a slightly wet feed and goes through ink a little faster than I might have expected, but that's not something I'm worried about. It will easily write under its own weight and writes smooth as glass across the page. Packaging: I adore the little tin the pen comes in. Its about the weight/consistency of an altoids tin, or maybe a bit thicker. The graphics on the lid are all nicely raised into the material, and inside is a kind of felt-like plastic that reminds me of the packaging you get on some cheaper jewelry. The whole thing is a really nice touch on an excellent pen. Curiously, the inside would hold two Kaweco Sport pens and a pair of extra international short cartridges, subtly suggesting that you should buy another pen. Crafty scoundrels. Summary: A great pen, especially if you're just getting started in fountain pens and want to invest in your first "premium" pen. THAT SAID, I got mine for $60. The normal retail is closer to $100. At the $60 price point, this is a really, really good value. At the $100 price point, it's still a rock solid pen, but you may have better options.
