My favourite pen - long configuration, F nib, converter with R+K Salix. Accompanied by a steel Supra with B nib and converter filled with Diamine Ancient Copper.
I have the steel Supra with the #6 BB nib. I always use it with the extender piece intact, so I have the full length pen (without needing to post which I detest doing). For pocket size, I already have the superb Copper Lilliput. Also, having the extension piece on allows me to use the converter. The Supra is an excellent pen, despite being, aesthetically, just a long steel cylinder. I bought my pen for $120. Fair price. No complaints. Kaweco’s prices for the new Bronze Sport and the Ebonite Sport, though, are quite ridiculous. Wish you could a review of the Ebonite Sport sometime.
A very nicely done review. I was rather taken by the No.6 nib. Every time I watch reviews of pocket pens I try to imagine circumstances where they would be advantageous, or necessary. Expeditions come to mind and then I think of a good tough plastic Lame which surely must be a better choice, especially as it would be possible to pack a couple of extra nibs with ease. I'm afraid I smiled when I saw it trying to roll off the table at the end. I'll try again when you review the Kaweco Sport. I enjoyed the review as always. So very informative. Thank you.
Great review. My partner's favorite pen. Never noticed that small offset to the center section before! But I just cleaned it today (I like cleaning pens, he doesn't 😊) and sure enough, there it is! That would bother me too.
I'm fairly new to the pen hobby and I was just wondering: which notebook are you writing in? I like that it's a soft cover with a bookmark and lies flat (also a leftie).
I have several Kaweco Sport pens. I use them without a cartridge, by just pouring the ink into the barrel, and then sealing the thread with some silicone grease. But I am guessing that this might be a problem with this model?
Thanks for covering the Supra, thoroughly informative. The only reason i dont get one is the numbers of turns it takes to cap/uncap/post, if they ever redesigned it, i might consider. I pray the only triune God of the: 1)supernaturally prophetic fulfilled in reality (Romans 1:26-32/2 Timothy 4:3/Matthew 24:6/1 Corinthians 1:18) 2)historically verified (archaeologically & anthropologically by Christians & non-Christians w/enemy/early/multiple attestation, internal consistency, embarrassing reports, etc.) 3)transcendentally/objectively moral (Exodus 20/Matthew 22:37-40) Holy Bible reveals Himself to you in Spirit & objective truth (John 16:13). May the triune, infallible, omniscient God bless you with faith in Him, not fallible man’s limited knowledge of theories.

Sounds like a perfect pair!
Is there a converter that fits the pen when it’s in pocket mode?

Will try to get my hands on an Ebonite!
Great review… always love your content
Thanks so much!
Nice review. I have been using a Supra for some time and always use it with the barrel extension. Lovely pen.
Happy to hear!

I reviewed many Kaweco Sports! Just browse my channel. I‘m afraid those might not make you smile, those octagonal dudes don’t really roll that well!
