Kaweco AL Sport Fountain Pen - Broad Nib - Gray Body

I own 3 Kaweco and 3 Lamy pens and their performance is very similar and competitive. T he Kaweco AL Sport is my favorite for formal letters and I especially appreciate the little bit more heft to the pen. As always JetPens had the right pen at the right price!

This pen is amazing! Out of the box, it looks tiny, but after posting it, it feels great on your hand. And the nib is high quality! I think that it even writes better than some of the more expensive, gold-nib fountain pens that I own. And the cool touch and solidness of the aluminum body really enhances the writing experience. Just hearing the pen clink as I screw and unscrew the top brings me some sensory pleasure.

This pen is definitely my favorite. I like it so much that I ended up purchasing all three colors.

KaWeCo products are hard to find in the states. So, thanks JetPens for bringing them to us!

I just found my new favorite. Prior to ordering this pen I was using the Kaweco Fine Nib, which is a perfectly great pen in it's own right, but when I saw that Jetpens was offering the extra fine nib, I thought I'd give it a try. The extra fine nib has a slightly finer line and there is less feathering when writing and less bleeding through the paper. I still think the Kaweco black ink performs just fine. I would definitely recommend this pen to a friend, may even give them as Christmas gifts this year.

Great pen, perfect balance of weight, length and width. Nib is surprisingly smooth and a real pleasure to write with. Only complaint is that unlike my plastic kaweco fountain pen, the cap does NOT post snugly on to the front section of the pen. This causes the cap to ride off the front section as I write with it, literally spinning around. Very annoying. I have tried jamming it on as hard as I can but it still winds up spinning around. it almost seems as though there is a piece missing inside the cap that would "grab" the front section. Anyone else have this problem?

Wow.... This pen is so nice, I wish I could write this review with it! It's a good nib width for my small handwriting. When posted, it's a full size pen, and I have thin hands, so I often use it unposted.

This is the first pen above 15$ that I've ever owned, but I really think it was worth it, as I doubt I'll need to buy another for years.
