Ebay strikes again

It's the free shipping. Gets me every time. Was surfing Ebay and have been kicking around a new FP to use daily with the 2 Safari's when I ran across this. I really enjoy my bronze watches and love the look of brass. Came with a cartridge but have not used it yet as I want to go look at some other colors.

Congratulations!

I have been kicking one of these around for some months now and will eventually get one for my Midori notebooks.

Let us know how it writes.

It writes phenomenally well for a $100 pen with a fine nib. If their plastic $30 writes near as well I will own one of those soon.

I may try the aluminum model as well.

The only complaint that I have is the metal smell that it leaves on my hands. But I will get used to it.

It is a solid brass cap and barrel. The weight is 43 grams.

For comparison sake my MB Legrand rollerball is 36 grams.

So quite a bit heavier. And much more compact. I will say my only (very slight) complaint is that the Kaweco is slightly short and I have relatively large hands so it took a bit to get used to.

The Kaweco Sport FPs write extremely well. I have two of them and for the price they are well worth the investment.

Thanks that is interesting.

I like larger pens like the Montblanc 146 and 149.
