Just received the pen...,
August 12, 2011
Just received the pen today (super fast service, as usual, kudos): this is one
slick looking pen and it feels great in the hand. I can't believe how small it
is when capped and yet how nicely balanced and "full sized" it feels when
posted.
The fine nib is not scratchy AT ALL and the ink flow is quite smooth.
I ordered the silver and love the contrast of the black carbon panels and the
subtle but way cool font that says "Kaweco AC Sport".
So far, I think I am in love.
My only regret is that I only ordered one color of ink (and that I am such a pen
geek).
This is my go to office...,

This review is from
Kaweco AC Sport Carbon Fountain Pen - Extra Fine Nib - Black Body
This is my go to office pen. It is small enough to carry in a pocket, but i have
found that the black power coating will scratch off against keys or phones. The
pen looks classy and fits in at the office, school, or at home. It is not
flashy, yet the silver accents are respectable and the real carbon fiber is
mesmerizing to look at during pauses. I dislike that the cap does not screw onto
the back of the pen, so posting the cap is down to friction which i worry will
wear on the threads inside the cap. The pen takes small carts but i have been
refilling one for a couple months now with my favorite ink no problem. The nib
is wonderfully smooth and really shows how good a steel nib can be even if it is
stiff as a nail. Overall, i would buy this pen again, and i have decided to do
just that.
