Kaweco BRASS SPORT Fountain Pen I Exclusive Brass Reservoir Pen for Ink Cartridges Including Retro Metal Box I Writing Instrument 13 cm I Nib: M (Medium)

Bought this as I have a few other Kaweco pens, but wanted one with a decent width to fit in a custom made notes folder. This is a really solid pen and being brass after just a few days it looks like an antique, like you had it passed down the family to you. The pen is solid in the hand, you have to place the cap on the rear in use (otherwise it is too short for you hand). Not everyone will like a pen of this weight, but i prefer the solidity. In terms of writing this is smooth with excellent distributino of ink onto the paper. The nib is quite thin but this makes for a pen you can write a lot with. I left this pen and didn't touch it for 3 months (I was not using it during lockdown), after 3 months of non use I opened it and started to write. I expected it to have dried up, or take a while to get going. To my surprise it wrote on the very first stroke, like I had just used it yesterday. This speaks to the enduring quality and engineering in the pen. Sure this is an expensive pen, but it will last you a lifetime and be a trusted writing companion.

The actual pen body is very nice made of untreated brass, which develops a lovely patina over time. If you don't like the patina I do not recommend this pen. It is extremely durable, you could throw it around outside on concrete and still expect to write with it. The pen is quite heavy, at around 48g. The pen is very short unposted and is unsuable without being posted unless you have small hands. The pen is slightly back heavy when posted, and slightly front heavy when not. The nib is really quite small, it is about the same size as a standard lamy nib, like on the safari/AL-Star or studio. The nib writes okay, about as well as a parker sonnet steel, not quite as good as a lamy studio. However the nib can be swapped out for a 14K gold version. I bought the version of this pen with a fine nib, I find it writes like a Chinese extra fine and it lays down a rather dry line when using the kaweco ink cartridges. You may find your writing experience slightly different though. If you are looking for a durable pen that will last you years for quick note taking or writing things down, I highly recommend this pen, I wouldn't write an essay with it personally, its just too heavy, but overall great buy and I have no regrets.

I love this pen. Small, robust, writes and handles extremely well. I love the rugged practical look which is ideal for my work. Thoroughly recommend!

Quality pens. I had the roller ball version and just fancied a fountain pen for some reason, not even sure why,.very good thanks

Loved the kaweco sport for years ao invested in a more robust material in the brass to take to work. I love the extra weight in my hand and it feels very strong and durable. The typical excellent writing experience you expect from a kaweco sport, and even the little tin it comes in is quite charming. Quickly become my new every day carry fountain pen.

Really deserves the 5 star rating. Solid and balanced in the hand, and is a smooooooth writer. I have the brass version. It looks great now that it’s had some use. Buy with confidence.

Love the weight of the brass and design and reliability of the Kaweco Pens. This is my working and go to pen for all times. It fits easily in a trouser pocket, never leaks, always writes. And I have bought two other types Kaweco pens since for other people as gifts. Highly recommended writing experience and particularly if you want to have something a little more pleasurable for your working life. ... you are unlikely not to like this pen. I have used the plastic ones, which I like, but I do like the extra weight and feel of the brass.

What a cracking little pen! I ordered an extra fine nib, and it writes beautifully, straight from the tin. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because very occasionally the nib section becomes very slightly unscrewed. It's no major issue, just a minor annoyance, but it's there. Other than that, it's great. It needs the lid posted whilst writing in order to maintain a nice balance, and if you have to put it down, you can do so secure in the knowledge that the pen won't roll off the desk. Highly recommended.
