Kaweco Brass Sport Fountain Pen
The Kaweco Brass Sport is a pocket-sized fountain pen that when posted transforms into a full-sized pen that easily fits in your hand. The brass will pick up its own unique patina and pattern of scuffs and scratches over time as you use and transport the pen, making this version of the Sport truly unique to you. It comes with a stainless steel nib and an ink cartridge to get you started writing right away!
It accepts short standard international cartridges. Kaweco converter and optional clip sold separately.
Note: This pen comes with an ink cartridge stored in the body. If it doesn’t fall right out, you can get it loose by giving the body a few solid taps on a hard surface.

Customer Reviews
Love love love this pen! And the best part is, I know I’ll enjoy it for the rest of my life!
I’m very happy with this pen. It feels good to write with it. I like the heavier weight. Also like the size being smaller when the lid is on,
I purchased the brass version of the Sport in large part to see it develop patina. And boy did it, just a few days in my pocket and it’s developed a lovely patina. Good thing my stint of owning Harley’s and polishing chrome gave me an adversely to polishing and a love of all things patina. I wonder if I could call my aging skin patina?? Hummm. Anywho this is a quality pen, built like a tank and should serve me for the rest of my life and then some.
Packaging was overdone and appreciated. Shipping was fast.Regarding the pen itself, I think it is a different experience from a plastic body Sport, so you really can't get too much indication of how you would like this brass Sport simply by using a plastic body version, imho. I do not find too much of a brassy smell, as some people mention. In fact, I would prefer if there were more.Machining of the body and cap is very well done. The weight is actually ideal for me. It feels really nice to hold and carry. When it is posted, it is near perfectly balanced; unposted works for quick notes too. I think in 'person', it has a cooler minimalist/industrial look than photos may deliver otherwise. I really like a smaller nib size, since it helps maintain a more low key look, despite the shiny brass. Though eventually some patina will curb the shine, and that will also become a personalization of the pen, which is a very nice side-effect if you choose not to clean it. It may be a perfect travel/pocket/edc pen. Great for notes at job sites, or for random thoughts during the day. I can see it as a good pen for students, I would likely have used it if I were in the hobby when I was back in school. In general, as a minimalist, I rate this Brass Sport second to my favorite of all fountain pens, the Lamy 2000. The Brass Sport serves a different use case and I feel more comfortable leaving the house with it in my pocket, due to it's size and construction.
Very nice, sturdy, well constructed pen.
