## Description

This beautiful classic sport fountain pen from Kaweco is made from bordeaux coloured plastic and gold-plated stainless steel. The fountain pen has a size of 13 cm.

Review: Great pen and well worth the price. Smooth writing experience every time. - I love this pen, it is the second pen I have purchased from this company. Anyone who is writing about it "feeling cheap" does not understand the purpose of this pen. The design of this pen is to be small and light so it fits easily in your pocket or for travel. Do not judge the quality of the pen by the weight but in the quality of the nib and how smooth it puts down ink. I like that the cap screws down you you are not at risk of ink leaking out. The wider nib is perfect for writing on card stock that absorbs the ink quickly, this pen glides right over the paper with a smooth line that never fades no matter what direction you write. I would highly recommend this pen to anyone. Well worth the price
Review: The perfect pocket fountain pen - I didn't think I'd like this pen as much as I do. I like pens with some heft, this pen is feather light; I like pens that cap with a click, you have to screw this pen's cap on and off; I like pens with big ink cartridges full of black ink; this pen comes with a short cartridge full of Royal Blue; I like pens with strong clips; you have to purchase the clip for this pen separately for a substantial price (in relation to the pen). Lots of negatives. The defense: *This is a pen you travel with, hence its lightness, and the plastic body may look cheap but it seems durable. The lack of metal in it might even get through an airport detector without having to be put on a tray. *It takes just one and a half revolutions to open this pen and you get used to that fast. This should make it less likely to leak, though I think if you take it on a plane you'd be better off taking an extra step and I'm told using any fountain pen in a pressurized cabin is a risky venture. *The pen is from Germany. In Europe, blue ink is more commonly used than in the States. The pen comes with a short cartridge tucked in the barrel that comes out with a few taps. I emptied the blue ink and used a blunt syringe to refill it with Noodler's Bulletproof black ink (I recommend this way of using ink because you save money over cartridges, put a little less plastic in the environment, and have an infinite choice of ink to use). I've written over a dozen full-size pages on one cartridge and it's still going strong. *I'm fine without a clip. When putting a fountain pen aside, you're supposed to have it with the point up, but if you're out and about during the day it should be all right in your pocket. Another reviewer here talked about spending an hour or so preparing the nib to his liking. I've had no problems with it in that regard, but I don't have the standards some might and even though I'm using a heavy ink with a fine point it's flowing smoothly, not scratching or skipping. German manufacturers are known for their excellent quality control, so I doubt the other reviewer got a defective item. Perhaps he's using a different type of paper than I am. When I got it the only thing I didn't like was that the plastic threads squeaked when I screwed and unscrewed them. I put a tiny amount of a graphite on the threads and it's been silent since. It posts well, which is good for me because my hands are on the large side so I needed the extra inches. Have you ever posted a pen and then the clip is on your skin and after awhile it irritates you so you take it off and repost it because it's a fountain pen so you can't just turn the whole pen and you start thinking about the odds of your having posted it that way and then you forget what you were writing about? I have. Not a problem with this clipless pen!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the pencil use 2.8mm lead?**
A: Check out the product description, it says the 3.2mm lead size.

**Q: Is the pen made of plastic or metal?**
A: Plastic

**Q: What does it mean when it says "dual purpose?"**
A: Dual purpose - You can either ink the fountain pen with a Kaweco cartridge or their piston converter (bottled ink).  FYI, Kaweco's ink cartridges are shorter than other cartridges.  Either choice of inking the pen works well.

**Q: Does it come with ink?**
A: They come with one cartridge. You can get cartridges separately. Most standard European-style cartridges will fit it.

A perfect pen. Small, but not too small. Light. A screw-on cap. The smoothest stroke of all. Lasts forever. Never disappoints.
