I have the limited edition iridescent kaweco sport. It was $27 and my other fountain pens were less than $12.5, so this was a huge step up in price for me. It's so beautiful, i don't regret anything. I use a shading purple color with the pen and it's a beautiful color combination.
Kaweco makes terrific writing tools. Thanks for highlighting the student, which is almost criminally underrated. I recommend it to fountain pen newbies all the time. ❤
I got a Kaweco Al Sport rosegold fountain pen three years ago as a graduation gift, and I am in love with it ever since. Such a great pen! I carry it with me everywhere. Although it seems small, I can write with it for a long time before I have to refill the converter. All time favourite.
I have both the Perkeo (exact same one in black!) and the AL Sport. The regular Sport is too light for me, but the AL Sport's heft makes it nice to hold during long writing sessions. Thank you so much too, for showing off the Liliput and Supra! I didn't realise they were tiny pens!
Their ef and f nibs can be alright, just terribly tuned, not for beginners, you need equipment like a magnifying Loupe and brass shim and maybe a feeler gauge too, I do not recommend, I don't understand why people recommend them to beginners so often, for me even their M's need work, if you only have used a kaweco, beginners options from pilot and lamy are way smoother
😂 try the online , Highway of Writing mini plum fountain pen, top heavy as the cap is huge and the nib actually makes a scratching noise on all papers even super expensive cotton rag paper and sumi -e paper. My grandad laughed at me because I paid £27 in 2006 for that pen after he gave me his antique parker gold nib scarily expensive pen , he said what cam you expect? It's a cheap pen? I said granda seriously i could buy at least 100 pens for that ( in 2007) I wish he was still here so I could take a Kaweco or 3 and a Lamy to him to show him how brilliant pen companies are today.
@@onyxwolf13f is very difficult to write with in all the fountain pen makes yet we all go for it first. Maybe because the biro and rollerball are so tiny? I don't know why? But my first pen no longer available and put me off fountain pens for 15 yr , the online highway of writing, which is about the same size as the kaweco sport but is metal and the lid/ cap is huge too heavy and horrible when posted but without it the pen is too short for big hands. I bought a sketch In brass on offer for 25£ and it is absolutely beautiful and brilliant! Yes we can buy cute Japanese pens , erasable with cute animal ears which I love but as soon as I get paid next Friday I'm buying a sport and ink . And they look beautiful as well as everyone saying they write great. Which nib is best for someone out of practice with fountain pens?
I have pens in my collection up to the $500 range (sounds like a lot but not if you’re a pen collector!)… I always come back to my Kaweco collections for their durability, ease and fun range of finishes - I particularly enjoy using my fire blue Lilliput as part of my sketch toolkit 🤓
I use a double broad blueberry Sport for doing headers in my bullet journal. It's really comfortable to use with my small hands, and no other brand offers a double broad fountain pen at such a competitive price.
Hi there! That's a Lihit Lab Smart Fit Carrying Pouch: www.jetpens.com/Lihit-Lab-Smart-Fit-Carrying-Pouches/ct/2110?&f=0a7a339549532d4a59cb957d7dad431a
I love my Sports. My favorite is the brass. I also have the lovely green Lilliput. I already have more Sports than I can reasonably use, but I always want more.😂
My first fountain pen was a Sport. I love the design of them and all the colors. My favorite is the Bronze Sport. I also love my Student. It is very affordable and writes perfectly.
I have the sketch in brass, I am shocked by the amount of people who say the 'lead' is too big and too soft, it's only 2b, and is absolutely brilliant for taking out plein air sketching. I would have preferred as 6b but the 2b is great ! All I can think is people didn't study art and presumed sketch would be a writing pencil. Very weird considering it's name. I love it! And unlike wood encased sketching pencils it's eco friendly too!
My first fountain pen was a Kaweco Sport AL in raw aluminum from JetPens. Such a beauty! It now sports (haha) a stub nib, and I love pairing it with Diamine Night Sky. I now have three AL Sports, two plastic Sports, a Perkeo, and three Lilliputs. It’s hard to stop; they’re such great pens. 😅
I love the handy Kaweco Sport. I'm on my second one after I misplaced the first one. Unfortunately, the current one I have has a much finer nib than I thought; I ordered a Fine and it writes very much like an Extra Fine nib and goes from a hard-starter to an altogether non-starter. I have no idea how to fix it without just ordering a whole new nib unit.
I have ....uh more than one of the plastic Sport mechanical pencils, #7 lead. It's just the right size for all sorts of situations, and somewhere I have one of the Special Mechanicals, but I think it's been kidnapped by a family member.
The only thing that needs explaining about Kawecos, is where and how to find the money, to buy them! lol.. I wish I had a Brass Sport! or a Makers Cabinet Ferrule at least!
Hi there and happy new year 2024! 😊 Do you know of any cartridge longer than the universal standard 38 mm long that fits this fountain pen? The capacity of the standard short ones (38 mm) is quite little.
I have the brass, aluminum and a few classic sports. I love writing with the aluminum best. Brass feels good but the smell is strong, cant handle it. Metal smell.
My first Kaweco was the sport and I still don't like the size. The Perkeo is my favorite. It's comfortable and still has that great ink flow. I'd love to get the Student pen, but the name doesn't match. A student pen should be a lot less than $60.00!
Honestly, while these pens are cute, I have had the worst luck with them. More than one of them has been scratchy or no ink coming out at all eventually, and no amount of cleaning, careful disassembling or examination has improved the situation. This is actually a brand that I now stay away from, sadly. Maybe the problem is that they are fine nibs, as another commenter mentioned Kaweco doesn’t seem to be too good with finer nibs.
I’ve seen others say this and it’s always so surprising- I have at least a dozen Kawecos, at least half fine and never had an issue, guess it’s just good luck! Have you ever tried “the penny trick”?
If you could only have one Kaweco writing instrument which would it be? 🤔 Let us know in the comments!
The Sketch Up in sliver
Brass Sport, M nib
I like the Student a lot better than the AL Sport
definitely a steel sport
Steel sport.
It would be very hard to chose only one. After seeing this whole selection, I want to play with all of them.
Same, I have the sketch in raw brass and want the fountain pen in raw brass and all the others too ! My new addition I think! ❤

I started with a sport from JetPens! I now have a few sports, I use perkeos for work, and I'm using a student with my planner. I'm a little in love.
I have a wide collection of Kaweco Sports. Absolutely in love with this brand! Thank you for releasing a video highlighting their products!

I have three Sports, but my daily is the Brass. It has an amazing patina and it's just a delightful writing instrument.
Love Kaweco but their EF and F nibs are the grittiest and gnarliest of all the fountain pens I own. Definetly recommend M and upwards.
I thought it was just me that thought that 😅
I changed my fire blue from F to M and it writes like a dream now 😊

I love my brass sport! Was my first pen and is still my fave! I do want to get more of the metal ones. Love the clips too!
This video is really informative! Could you do a similar video for Pilot's fountain pen lineup? Thank you!
Thanks for the idea! We'll forward it to the team for consideration. :)
Just bought my first sport thanks to this video. Super excited!!
I have the iridescent Sport Kaweco. I didn't know a clip was available. Thank you!
Kawecos! Love them. I have a Sport Fountain Pen in Toyama Teal and one in Iridescent Pearl and a Skyline Sport Clutch. 💓💓
These are some amazing pens and pencils! I would love to buy them all...
Proud owner of 3 Kaweco Sport fountain pens! The Iridescent is my favorite, filled with Aurora Borealis ink.
I use a Kaweco Sport in navy and nib b since 35 years.
It works as fine as in the beginning.
I fell in love with Kaweco after getting a brass clutch and now have a sport, perkeo, and fireblue liliput
Yes... fallen in love with it. I might get a fountain pen for my birthday. Very nice pens!
I have pens in my collection up to the $500 range (sounds like a lot but not if you’re a pen collector!)… I always come back to my Kaweco collections for their durability, ease and fun range of finishes - I particularly enjoy using my fire blue Lilliput as part of my sketch toolkit 🤓
Do you own/use the Brass Kaweco Sport, for sketching please? ff yes, could you say if it's ideal?
Supra Firebird looks great... tempted!
I use a double broad blueberry Sport for doing headers in my bullet journal. It's really comfortable to use with my small hands, and no other brand offers a double broad fountain pen at such a competitive price.
I bought a Highway of Writing Jazz in plum 15 years ago and when i googled small in cartridges discovered Kaweko which are much better!
What is the notebook cover at 3:56? It looks like a Lihit Labs cover, but I can't seem to find the exact model on your site.
Hi there! That's a Lihit Lab Smart Fit Carrying Pouch: www.jetpens.com/Lihit-Lab-Smart-Fit-Carrying-Pouches/ct/2110?&f=0a7a339549532d4a59cb957d7dad431a
only one in my collection is the Steel Sport. Was kind of a mistake purchase, but I have grown to love the hefty weight.
the extension! I need that kind of thing on my heavy pens (meaning wish they had that so I could remove it!). That or faux caps
I love my Sports. My favorite is the brass. I also have the lovely green Lilliput. I already have more Sports than I can reasonably use, but I always want more.😂
My first fountain pen was a Sport. I love the design of them and all the colors. My favorite is the Bronze Sport. I also love my Student. It is very affordable and writes perfectly.
I love my Kaweco Sport Mint Fine nib it's my first ever fountain pen. I take it everywhere!

Love these Kaweco tins. Useful! And a lovely design.
I have a nice collection of kaweco sports fountain pens.but after watching this video, would like to add a few more from the kaweco family.
I love my “Kawecos” I have a pencil and 3 liliputs and cherish them all
What a clear review! Just in time before I get a new Kaweco fp.. thank u
I have the Kaweco sport in light blue, I really really want the sketch pencil in sliver. One day ❤❤❤❤
I love my Kaweco Sports.
This was a great video!!

I always say I have enough sports then they come out with more colors and I end up picking up another one 😅
Wow today i get to know that actual clutch pencils also exist 😅
Why yes, THANK YOU. This is just the best.
I have the Liliput Fire Blue. It's lovely, but I wish it was converter friendly.
I love the Kaweco pens, and the materials, ¡greetings from Mexico! :)
The only thing that needs explaining about Kawecos, is where and how to find the money, to buy them! lol.. I wish I had a Brass Sport! or a Makers Cabinet Ferrule at least!
I realy want to collect all their brass products 😩
Hi there and happy new year 2024! 😊
Do you know of any cartridge longer than the universal standard 38 mm long that fits this fountain pen?
The capacity of the standard short ones (38 mm) is quite little.
Which fountain pen are you referring to? If you mean the Sport, unfortunately, only short international cartridges fit.
@@JetPens
Yes, the Kaweco Sport (Plastic, Al, Steel, Brass, Bronze...)
I have the brass, aluminum and a few classic sports. I love writing with the aluminum best. Brass feels good but the smell is strong, cant handle it. Metal smell.
I love my brass SketchUp
Do Pelikan fountain pens videos as well
My first Kaweco was the sport and I still don't like the size. The Perkeo is my favorite. It's comfortable and still has that great ink flow. I'd love to get the Student pen, but the name doesn't match. A student pen should be a lot less than $60.00!
apparently in Germany Student is a reference to University, not little kids.
looking lamy pens perfect use, cheap, or jinhao good pens and less than 10€
Really all very nice >>>>> THANK YOU .
Does Kaweco make gold nibs?
Please make a video on leadholders
I love it
❤

@@PaperPremise what is the penny trick?
i am today years old when i learned you can just easily swap the kaweco sport nib
😊
Funny thing is the most affordable kaweco is 6 times expensive than the best fountain pens with platinum and iridium tips made in India.
Funny, having just come from India, I wouldn’t be able afford to live in Europe on an Indian wage. Horses for courses…
@@cjl1434 yeah! Absolutely. We have to thank British for this. If they could just return our 43 trillion of gold they took from us.
Kaweco make Plastic Pen in India
Like Parker
not a fan of pens, yes of Sketch Up Clutch Lead Holders,
First!
