Kaweco Ice Sport Fountain Pen - Extra Fine Nib - Red Body

This pen is SMALL ... if any fountain pen newbies have a Pilot Petit, this pen is about the same size but thinner, they're both around the length of an iphone. At first, I was like THIS IS NOT WORTH TWENTY SIX DOLLARS, but after cleaning it up and converting it into an eyedropper, I was proven wrong. If you are really serious about getting an everyday durable fountain pen this may just be your best option (I myself am a student.) It has such a smooth nib and is so visually appealing I can't stop writing or looking at it. For those who don't want to spend the extra 3 dollars on extra fine, DON'T .... because EF is still a pretty average 0.5 lead thickness.

For those anal people who like clean nibs... I don't know if it's me, but the ink flow is so smooth I can't seem to wipe the small ink blot on the tip quickly enough to fully uncover the shiny silver HAHA!

Smooth nib, unique styling, light and compact in the pocket. The Kaweco sport ice fountain pen wrote smoothly and cleanly right out of the box. I didn't even rinse the feed, as is my normal practice before filling a new pen, and it puts down a nice inky line with no hesitation. The M nib is a bit finer than western nibs, but not quite as fine as asian.

gorgeous color, great design, and writes well...now only if I could find a converter that would work with it.

I *love* this pen! It's never scratchy, has great ink flow, and is a delightfully bright color of pink. It took me a little while to get used to how short it is when posted, but the compact size makes it so much easier to stash in a pocket (I keep mine in the little MP3 player pocket on my backpack for quick and easy access). The pen writes to a standard that I've come to expect from much more expensive pens, and yet I don't have to worry if it accidentally walks off with one of my students, because it's so affordable, though I certainly will be keeping a close eye on it, as it's now my favorite writing utensil. I will be buying more in a variety of different colors so I can keep one at home, one at work, one in my purse, and one in my backpack at all times.

This is the most wonderful fountain pen! For less than $25, this pen writes like it must have cost over $100--seriously. The ink flows consistently at just the right amount. The nib is smooth and never scratches or catches the paper; it\'s a smooth ride from start to finish. Although the pen section is short, once you put the cap on the opposite end and start writing, it turns into an overall length that is comfortable in any hand. The quality is outstanding--a very well-made pen. I certainly thought I\'d have to pay a lot more to get a pen that writes as well as this one. I wish it came with the pen clip, but I\'m not complaining considering the quality you get for the $. You\'ll be very pleased with this pen.
