The Kaweco Classic Sport is a pocket-sized fountain pen that when posted transforms into a full-sized pen that easily fits in your hand. This solid bordeaux red fountain pen comes with a gold-plated steel nib and an ink cartridge to get you started writing right away! It uses short standard international ink cartridges, or you can easily convert it to an eyedropper pen with a little bit of silicone grease. 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.

Lightweight performer

Nib writes smooth, slight drag to it but in a good feedback way. Overall I expected it to be a touch heavier, it is very light and the cap feels a little loose all the time. I would wager the aluminum version would be much better.

Classic Small

I wanted a small and this one's been around for a minute with good reviews. When I got it, it is so light that it feels like a toy. I thought I would be disappointed but, it writes very nice. I keep it strapped to a notebook, ready to go. Recommend the converter not included.

light, compact, and Classy!

Started writing instantly, never leaked, bled, or failed. Get many comments on the pen and ordered another for my Grandson's College Graduation. Goulet Pens are great to work with, knowledgeable, and helpful. I don't order online and talking to a real person is great. Fast shipping, VA> to SD. in less than a week!

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.
