Bought this to replace a lost (beloved) Fine-nibbed one, in the hope that if it turned up, I'd then have each of the sizes. At first I regretted having ordered the EF, finding it a bit scratchy compared to my memory of the F, but after a very short "work-in" it turned out almost as smooth and just as reliable. The key is not to judge it by how it feels the instant ink starts coming through. I found that the F worked with any ink I could throw at it, and am hoping the EF won't be touchy either.

This is one of my first fountain pens (the other was the disposable Platinum Preppy with the 03 nib), which I chose over a Lamy Safari. Kaweco is lesser known than the Lamy so it satisfies my indie complex. I preferred the Kaweco because I could convert it into an eye dropper pen (like the Preppy) and it's pocket size is very cute. I have filled it with Noodler's Bulletproof Black, and both work harmoniously together in my Clairefontaine journal, Hand Book sketchbook, and Rediform lab notebook. Its size was actually very surprising to me, but I have very small hands so I could even use this pen without the cap on the end.

My classmates and colleagues admired it even though they were unfamiliar with fountain pens (we're all USA residents).

The white and gold look very elegant and beautiful; my only qualm about its design is that while capped and not in use, it looks like a feminine product. If this would really bother you, I suggest buying the gold pen clip to more visually define the white Kaweco as a pen.
