Kaweco LILIPUT Fountain Pen Silver I Premium Aluminium Fountain Pen for Ink Cartridges I Exclusive Fountain Pen 12.5 cm I Nib: M (Medium)

I've held off writing this review until I've gotten used to the pen. I bought it as a compromise as I couldn't quite justify buying the more expensive steel or brass pens.The quality is excellent, the nib is lovely. It is a shade light with it's aluminium body but very well engineered and strong.It nestles well in the pocket and has never leaked despite being dropped a few times. It is very slowly accruing scratches to the cap and body through being carried in a pocket with keys and loose change but they seem to just add character and make it feel more unique.All in all, I've come to really love this pen and I've taken to carrying it everywhere. The only thing that might make me put it down is that I still catch myself looking at the copper and brass ones now and again...

If you like a fountain pen you'll know the problem of wanting to use one out and about and how that doesn't always match wanting to travel light. You can buy mini or expanding propelling pencils or ballpoints but rarely an ink pen. This is a proper fountain pen (small international cartridge only - no converter available to fit this one) with good nibs which you can change out with different grades , including several sizes of calligraphy nib. Not all the nibs are currently available on Amazon but a quick web search and you'll source them. I like thewritingdesk.co.uk but there are others selling them.This version of the pen is almost weightless and tiny so great for travelling light but with the cap posted ( it screws on to the barrel so is very secure) it's a sensible length to write with. I like a narrow barrelled pen so this is ideal for me. If you prefer a chunkier pen it might be a bit of an adjustment but possibly worth it for the convenience. Other versions like the brass and stainless steel are the same size but heavier. I think this makes them handle better for calligraphy or longer writing jobs but this one is ideal for keeping with a diary or cheque book. I keep it with my jotter pad in my bag so I always have a fountain pen to hand but don't add to the weight of what I'm carrying.

This is a fantastic pen and although it only takes cartridges, it writes very well. I have some J Herbin Cartridges in it and Diamine are also compatible.It turned up well protected and looks very stylish, hoping to get another in another colour, its very small and the cap screws onto the end and posts well, recommended.

I bought this fountain pen because I wanted a little vintage but classic to bring with me all over the world.I choosed copper one because I know that it will be ever different ( in colour and presence) depending by environmental conditions and by using it.So every time I need it to write , I'm surprised by what colour It has. And I like also "Rugged" sensation you have when you touch it or when you sniff it near..Kaweco surprised me. It's a very gorgeus little thing and I'll never leave it at home.Nice sliding nib for my hen calligraphy.And nice ink too.what else?Nice paper, of course !!

Love this pen - ordered the fine nib for detailed small lettering and it is perfect. Size small makes it very portable but feels well balanced in my hand and love the fact that the top actually screws on whether in use or not - no worry re misplacing when in use. New ink cartridge worked immediately - dont always get that immediate flow. Came with one blue cartridge. Will be ordering the brass version with medium nib soon.

This is a great small pen. I bought a Fine nibbed version. Mine is a little too dry in terms of ink flow but I may adjust the nib in the near future. The nib is a nail and produces exceptionally fine writing. I don't think I have anything finer in my collection. It comes in the nicely designed and decorated Kaweco tin!The pen is very well designed and although it's tiny it does feel solidly built. However it is VERY small and very thin. This means that it's not going to be comfortable for extended use. The cap screws onto the end of the body for posting, and you have to do this otherwise it would be too small to use. I am also slightly nervous, given the compact nature of the pen, that it might easily be lost or over-looked, so take care of it.So for the above reasons, I've knocked one star off. Also it's quite expensive and so if you would like a small but more practical pen, I would recommend going for the cheaper Kaweco Sport Classic Fountain pen. It's five start item!

This fountain pen is excellent. It is very small and compact in a pencil case. The cap needs to be unscrewed and screwed at the other end to make it to the size of a normal pen. I have medium glove size hands and it is easy to use.

The fine nib was very scratchy, and I had to replace it... also not sure its actually brass.... Its very gold colored, and far from a brass.But it is a nice pen otherwise

Excelente escritura, inmediata y sin cortes a pesar de ser plumín EF, que curiosamente escribe más grueso que un F. Elegí el color plata por su elegancia y simpleza. No pesa nada, es súper elegante y discreta. Cerrada es minúscula. Es más pequeña que la sport.Puntos en contra: rueda sobre la mesa con total facilidad, no tiene clip/broche y fácilmente rueda. La única que viene con broche es la de Bronce. Se raya con facilidad el aluminio en contacto con otros metales. Recuerden: se usa solo con cartucho.

Excelente calidad en una estilográfica unica en su género, discreta, pequeña, fácil de manejar y con una escritura de buena calidad. acabado impecable. muy contento con mi compra

Me encantó, es pequeña y funcional y la encontré en Amazon en excelente precio! Es punto Fino y no se estanca la tinta para nada. Recomendable!

La amé. Original y muy práctica por su tamaño

I love this pen. Tiny when capped, full-size enough when the cap is posted. Also Stylish, weighty, elegant yet functional with a very nice gliding nib. I recommend it to anyone getting into the fountain pen game and wants something convenient but beautiful that will last forever.
