The Perkeo is an entry-level full-sized pen from Kaweco. The faceted body, grip, and cap are made of a black resin. The triangular grip helps keep your fingers in the proper grip position. It comes complete with a black stainless steel nib.

It accepts standard international ink cartridges, or you can also purchase a standard international converter separately. An optional clip is also available separately.

Note: This pen comes with a standard international short cartridge inside the body and a cartridge spacer already installed.

the little Kaweco crest on the cap was loose and fell off pretty quickly, I lost it . Nib was quite dry and scratchy but with some tuning it's a buttery nib. Def worth it!

It writes really smoothly. The ink flow is good without being to wet.

Different kaweco but still good

I purchased this pen to use with my Ferris wheel press ink purple jade rabbit. This is my first medium nib pen. It writes smoothly. Feels nice in the hand is well weighted. I have enjoyed writing with it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this pen with ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses standard international ink cartridges, a common size which is available in many colors from various brands.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
