Kaweco Classic Sport Fountain Pens

The perfect pocket pen. Personally, if I get another one, I'll spring for the medium nib. The fine is touch a tad too toothy for my taste. But that doesn't stop me from using this little guy, every single day. Definitely be sure to pick up the little adorable baby converter and a clip.

I love this pen. My 2nd since I lost the first. Recommend buying a clip if you buy this pen.

Doesn't write as smoothly as I would like but still a fun little pen for the money.

This is a wonderful little fountain pen, a true pocket pen. You can shove this handy little gem into a pair of jeans, drop it into the pocket of your safari jacket, and probably, even sneak it into prison after you've had a little too much fun the night before.
Kaweco has been making pens since 1883, and their quality is quite excellent. This model originates from 1935, so any little bugs have all been worked out. And best of all, should you have any difficulty, the customer service and the personal care from Pen Chalet is second to none.
I love my Kaweco Sport, and I think you will too.

I love this pen! It now goes everywhere I go. Small enough to carry in any pocket, yet when posted is just the right size. It writes very well, first time, every time. Great price too.

Excellent packaging, threads on the cap are substantial for the price, the nib is very smooth and moist for the price, the pen is compact and easy to carry. Just a great grab and go pen for not a lot of money!

Smaller than expected
Plastic body

A big surprise! This pen has become my favorite and have bought 2 more as gifts. The soft and effortless flow of the pen makes this a winner. And price? Can't go wrong.

Wow, is this small! I knew it would be, but I was still surprised when I opened the box (when closed, it's the same length as my Ipod Touch 4th gen, if that can give you an idea). I was looking for a good pocket pen, something I could carry with me everywhere, so the size is perfect. The body is molded plastic, and feels like plastic, which is kinda normal for this price-range. It's pretty light, but comfortable to hold. The cap screws on nicely, so it won't open in your pocket. It posts securely with just a little push, and that makes the pen a more comfortable length for writing for longer period of time. I have the green model with gold trim, and it looks pretty good and classic. I've added a clip to mine (sold separately), and the metallic clip definitely makes it "butt-heavy" when the cap is posted, but not in an unusable way (the body is just so light that adding anything to it obviously makes a difference).

The fine nib is really smooth (for a fine nib), and doesn't have much flex (it wasn't supposed to have flex anyway, but some nibs still do), but it seems to have a sweetspot, meaning the pen kinda skips if it's turned ever so slightly. It's not something I've noticed on other pens (LAMY, Sheaffer, etc.), but this could also be caused by the small size of the pen, and me still needing to adjust to it. The nib seems to be just pressure-fit into its collar, so it can be taken off and switched pretty easily, if that's something that interests you. It came with a blue Kaweco cartridge, which is a nice shade of blue, but nothing remarkable. Because of the size, the pen can only use standard-size cartridges, or a converter, which limits the ink capacity. I bought the recommended squeeze converter when I bought my pen, and still have to try it, but I wouldn't really recommend buying one (you can refill cartridges with a syringe instead, or just use new cartridges, or go the eyedropper way). Since the body is just a hollow plastic piece, this pen looks like it can easily be turned into an eyedropper pen with a little silicon grease on the inner threads, and that would give a way bigger ink capacity, but also comes with the normal risks of eyedropper pens (i.e blobs of ink, leaks if not done correctly, etc.). There are plenty of good videos over the internet showing how to do that change.

tl;dr: This is a good plastic pen at a very good price for the quality. I'd would recommend it to people looking for a pen they can easily carry with them, along with some ink cartridges for an easy-to-use combo.

My order arrived in a timely fashion and after flushing the pen and letting it dry, I put in a cartridge of Arabian Rose. Within just a couple strokes, it began to write and has laid down a consistent line since. Great quality for a fair price.
