Brass Sport Fountain Pen Brass F

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.

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.

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.

Wunderschöne Verarbeitung, liegt solide und perfekt ausbalanciert in der Hand, und schreibt wie ein Traum. Ich bin absolut begeistert!

He tenido muchas plumas de muchas marcas y de muchos precios. Siempre he escrito con pluma. Esta tiene una calidad asombrosa de escritura. Nunca falla. Nunca ensucia ni se seca facilmente como otras. Pero lo más importante, es un auténtico placer a los ojos y al tacto. Es compacta y de buen peso (no muy pesada, pero si siente sólida). Va cambiando de color y oscureciendose con el tiempo, pero va cogiendo personalidad. Siempre se puede limpiar claro. No me separo de ella
