Kaweco Student Fountain Pen - Extra Fine Nib - Black Body

I have been using one of these for several months now and cannot say enough good things about it. Previously, I was using a "Lamy Fountain Pen - Al-Star Model - Extra Fine Nib - Ocean Blue Body" and it does not hold a candle to the Kaweco. Ink flow is very smooth, virtually no ink has leaked out of the nib... this is not something I was able to say about the Lamy. Both are extra fine but the line on this one is a touch smaller. The most impressive thing is that it has given me zero issues and I carry it in my pocket daily... heck it has even held up to my dog even chewing the end farthest from the nib.

I would recommend this pen to ANYONE and use it for everything that does not require a ballpoint.

Very pleased with this pen. The styling is lovely and build quality is excellent. Some might ask whether it's worth twice the price of a Kaweco Sport Classic, and I would say yes. The Student is meant for more of an elegant school or office pen, while the Sport Classic is more of a pocket pen. It even comes with a converter, so you can fill from bottled ink, and the gift tin makes it a perfect choice for, say, a graduation gift. The only complaint that I can see anyone have is that there is a metal grip section, but I actually like the metal as it lends a weighty feel that makes writing easy. I would put this in the same class as the Pilot Prera or TWSBI 540.
