on saleKaweco Classic Sport Fountain Pen - Green

I love this little pen. I have never yet had any issues with it.

I started out with Pilot pens and still like those, but my both of my daily writers are Kaweco now.

My sport recently sat for about a month while I messed around with a few other pens, but I brought it out this morning to get ready for a trip. I prefer to travel internationally with the sport because it's not an expensive pen and it is small and plastic. I was surprised to find that the nib wasn't dried out and the ink flows well. I do use the Kaweco cartridges in it, so it's possible a piston or converter might have had some problems.

The weight took some getting used to. It's so very light! And it's a little on the short side even when posted, so that could be an issue for someone with large hands, but the length also makes it great for pocket carries.

If you're looking for a small, light pen, give this one a shot.

It’s a nice pen for new fountain pen users or if you’re looking for something small to make your daily.

My son talked me into getting one of these for myself, and I just love how it writes. Smooth as silk. So I got him one as a gift and he likes it as much as I liked mine. Perfect little pocket pen that is tough enough to actually carry in your pants pocket and yet writes the way you'd want it to write. And if you lose it, it doesn't break the bank to replace it.

Love these pens! Smooth writing, easy to change the cartridge.

I have eyed one of these pens for years, but didn't see the need for it -- until I lost a couple of much more expensive pens from out of my pockets. When I lost my new Custom 74 Pilot, that did it -- the pen was eventually found, but I had bought one of these as my daily carry and have decided my beloved pens have to stay home or at least only come out dressed in a briefcase or sling bag. But I often don't carry a bag, so needed something *this small.* And it is small -- if you have one of the tiny Apica notebooks, this pen, when capped, is about 1/4 taller than the notebook. For me, this is perfect. I did buy the converter, though I think now it was a complete waste of money -- it's far too small to bother with when making the pen into an eyedropper has been perfect for me -- good silicone grease on the threads and nary a leak. I did not buy the clip as I think that just makes me more likely to put the pen somewhere it is again likely to separate itself from me, and without a clip, there's less bulk in my pocket. And by pocket, I mean the front indentation that Levi's considers a pocket on women's jeans. The Kaweco lays flat in that indentation and doesn't pop out at all. I bought the M nib and am sorry -- should have watched Brian's video before I chose -- the medium really is fatter than I bargained for but that's on me. The nib is very smooth. I have used several inks in it: Burma Road Brown is great, El Lawrence seemed a little too dry, Zhivago was good and it always flows well for me, and Eel Black was good. I like this so much and the ink capacity is so generous that in fact I am going to buy a second one and fill it with either Carbon Black or Document Black to use as a sketching/cartooning/doodling pen, and just keep this green one as my notes-on-the-fly EDC pen. For a functional, useful tool, $25 is a fair price -- and, if I lose it, I may be able to replace it without too much pain. I have fairly small hands, and the pen works for me posted or unposted, which is how I usually use it. If I need to write anything of length, the lightness of the pen makes it less comfortable, but your results may vary. I have had zero trouble with leaking; the nib is smooth; the cap does seem to tend to unscrew itself a little, but that may be because it's in that front pocket; it works with a couple of my crankier Noodler's inks. What's not to love?
