Kaweco Sport Pen Clip - Gold

Yes, the pen clip has a pretty tight grip on the pen, but you have to hold on to the round part (the part that's wrapped around the pen) when you want to clip it to something thicker than a few sheets of paper.

The clip itself (err..the "tail" part, meaning the section that you actually use to clip the pen to other things) is very strong, so you really have to push it up to attach it to things. Of course, this means the clip has a strong grip, but that's not very useful when your pen goes flying off in the process of clipping it to something else.

The first time I tried to clip my Kaweco pen to a notebook, that happened and I nearly had a heart attack before catching my pen in mid-air.

I guess the trick is to hold on to your pen by the round part of the clip before clipping it to other things...to ensure that the entire pen gets clipped, not just the pen clip.

Otherwise, it's shiny, pretty, and totally adjustable between Kaweco pens!

(Sorry for the excessive use of the word "clip". I couldn't think of a better synonym...hope this makes sense as a review, too.)

Good addition to the sport model. The clip doesn't slide off the pen easily, which is the only thing I feared, so I don't have to worry about losing it when clipped to something. Nice quality metal as well.

A purely aesthetic addition. And, while it is quite pleasing in that regard, the clip is almost completely non-functional as a practical matter. Nothing actually serves to secure it to the pen when you exert pressure. Which is fine, if you are buying it just for the image. And I rather like the look of the pen with the clip, actually. It gives off a more complete look. And, for the price, it is worth it. Match clip to nib.
