Customer Reviews
I was always curious and drawn to Kaweco's octagonal design of their Sport collection, but I had never had one before. As a non-poster user, this pen fits perfectly in my hand without being too light or heavy to control. I absolutely love how the fine point slides through the paper without scratching it. I filled it up with Diamine's Burnt Sienna ink, and the result is gorgeous. It delivers the right amount of ink, so my writing only blotches by my own fault. The pen's texture is of a smooth roughness that I absolutely love. So much that I love fidgeting with my pen while taking meetings.Overall, one of the best in my collection.
Nice color and found a matching color for it's first inking. Krishna Elegant Teal
Leans a bit more green than blue - which is great for folks like me that are particular about colors! Love green, not the biggest fan of blue. This is only the second blue pen in my collection, the other being Sailor's Soda Pop Blue. This definitely is more green than that guy, and Im here for it. Also - I almost exclusively choose gold colored hardware, so it's nice to add a kaweco to my collection.

I love the Kaweco AL Sport pens. I have a few of them and they are hands down my favorite pocket fountain pen.
