Kaweco is a German company that has been manufacturing fine quality writing instruments since 1883. The sporty and compact look of these fountain pens transcend fashion time and are just as attractive today as they were when they were first created years ago. Each pen is made of high-quality, colorful plastic and is compact when capped (approx. 4.1 inches long), but very comfortable when posted (5.3 inches long). Thus the Kaweco slogan "Small in the pocket, great in the hand".
Each pen features a screw-on cap for extra security and a 23 KT gold plated stainless steel nib with an iridium tip. The Germany-made pens reveal a Kaweco metal logo on the top of the cap. One free blue ink international short cartridge is included, more ink colors are available separately at JetPens. Included cartridge will be inside pen upon receipt.

This is my second Kaweco Sport. The first, which I purchased for college in the
60's, a piston filler with a gold nib,
was made of "destructible plastic." The plastic on the new one is much better.
The fine nib writes puts down a nice line is
is relatively smooth. If you buy the pen, watch the Jetpens video on installing
the first cartridge; it contains a useful
tip. I'm very happy I found the Jetpens site.

One of the best under $20 fountain pen purchase I have made from JetPens. The
size is small when closed and in the pocket. Make sure you purchase a clip if
you want it to settle in a bag or pocket so it will never reach the bottom on
it's own (total length closed with cap is just near 4.25"). The nib is smooth,
clean, no issues and writes a near 0.6 line. I currently use the Kaweco ink
cartridges which do not bleed and dry quickly (I am a lefty). This is a great
gift for a non-fountain pen user as well as a good purchase for a pen lover. My
next purchase is the metallic model at the $70 range, knowing what to expect the
larger price range is less of a gamble.

A pretty good user pen for the $, I got it with the clip as well. It writes a
pretty true fine line maybe even a little closer to a extra fine than medium. I
did have to tweek the nib a bit to align the tines, they seemed a bit out of
place. Once they were aligned it is a pretty smooth with some pleasant feedback.
The flow is dry, but I have only tried it with a cartridge of anonymous ink, I
think it would work better with one of my PR inks. Its pretty tough too, the
plastic has already survived a 3 foot fall, plus the threading kept the cap
pretty secure so no complaints there. All in all a pretty good notes pen.
