Brass Sport Fountain Pen

I love the feel of the Kaweco brass fountain pen in my hand, when posted. I have a medium for some years now and wanted to try the BB. This new BB is also a great sized nib for me. I use fountain pens mostly for drawing and mixed media paintings. The BB size gives a lot of ink, not too much, not too little, for what I need it to do in drawing/painting. This will show more of the variations an ink color has to offer, which is beautiful to me. One interesting thing (which I do not recommend) is that my medium fountain pen was forgotten for a while, and left with ink in it for months. When I came across it, I thought it was going to be a rescue mission. To my surprise, it wrote from the first touch to the paper. That was a nice surprise! It’s great quality and will likely outlive me. Most importantly for me, though, is that I really enjoy using it. I have other Kaweco products, such as the Sketchup 5.6 mechanical lead holder and the 2 mm lead holder. They are all prized among my favorite art supplies. I love the weight of the brass. My hand does not tense up as it does with some lighter weight plastic fountain pens that I have. I like well made goods and Kaweco certainly makes well made and durable tools.

This is a fantastic fountain pen. I purchased it with a fine nib, and it is an incredibly smooth writer. The nib glides smoothly across the page, whatever ink I throw at it (Diamine, J. Herbin and Kaweco in many colors so far). I write mostly in a Midori MD notebook, but it works great with Rhodia, Stalogy and Tsubame notebooks I have, and even on copier paper. It is my go-to, every-day-carry pen. I had great experience with Kaweco Sport Classics (plastic) and wanted to see what a bit more heft would bring to the writing experience. I find this pen to be very nicely balanced despite the extra weight (writing with the cap posted, of course). The brass takes on a great patina that continues to evolve through use. I added a bronze clip, which I think is a nice contrast, especially as the brass has aged. I feel that Kaweco doesn't get as much love as it deserves. I own several more expensive pens (Parker, Mont Blanc, Graf von Faber Castel, etc.), and I enjoy my Kawecos the most. Great company, and they really excelled with this Brass Sport!

This pen writes so smooth, not scratchy and is just an amazingly good pen. I opened it and installed the included ink cartridge and it worked perfectly from the get go with zero problems. It instantly became one of my most favorite pens. I did order a clip for it thinking it would help keep it from rolling around. Turns out since the cap is faceted that was completely unnecessary but it looks great on the pen so I'm happy. Kaweco makes very high quality pens.

Best pen ever. For the price, getting a solid brass pen with this much quality is a steal! The fine nib works great for me as the ink dries faster. I am a lefty so I NEED to have a quick drying solution. I've used this with Kaweco's black and caramel brown ink and have loved both. The black flowed a little heavy, but the brown is perfect. I carry this pen in my pocket everyday and it works perfectly. It has patinaed perfectly as well, looks so cool!

Kaweco make a great fountain pen. I use this to carry around in my pocket and I do not have to worry about messing it up. I bought the clip for it just to keep it in place in my folio when not in use. Very quick to pull out and use anywhere. Quality is high and the nib is great on my pen. Size is great for throwing in your packet or bag and the nib never fails to flow.

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.

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.

È proprio carina questa piccolina!! E pare scriva molto bene!
