RMD Cade excellent! Glad to hear it! If you have any more questions, you know where to find me.

All great things to be read! Thank you for sharing your experience. Very excited to have a pen so easy to travel with, so durable and hardy, one that I don’t have to worry about. Sounds like this will be a great pen for just that.

Thank you so much! And hello to a fellow lover of the vintage! :D

Welcome! Thank you for being here and saying hello!

Seriously, between r/fountainpens and the KZfaq community, the fountain pen communinites is one of the best things on the internet

Great!

That’s so wonderful! I’m so glad to hear it. Enjoy the rabbit hole, hehe.

Congratulations to you!’ That is so exciting! 😀🎉

Came for the review, stayed for the penmanship.

I like the fountain pen reviews by people with "bad" handwriting because it makes me feel better about my own handwriting which isn't as beautiful as I would wish - I'm working on it --- and also because it shows everyone that you don't have to have nice handwriting to enjoy using your pens. Just use them! No matter what your handwriting looks like.

Almost all reviewers know what they're talking about! "Nice calligraphy" is not a requirement.

Hello and welcome thank you so much. Ancient copper is an extraordinary ink.

That’s so great! What did you decide?

@@adventuredenali I got it! I had been wanting to try a new ink as well and was looking for something rustic and the ancient copper you used was perfect! Also picked up Apache Sunset. You should do some more reviews!

Thank you Joy! :D I had a wonderful time with my mum, miss her already again. I’ve been using this pen now for five days straight, and really, really enjoy it. I know these nibs are notoriously inconsistent, so it’s hard to recommend with such fierce confidence. But, I really like it!

@@adventuredenali Glad you had a great time! I know what you mean. I miss my mama every time I have to leave her house. That's okay - I'm taking your word for it and giving it a go. :)

Tommy Lane thank you Tommy!

Thanks Cindy! Ancient copper is a marvelous ink, I feel like it’s a must have for the ink collection. I hope you enjoy it!

Douglas Rathbun You are so very welcome! Thank you for dropping by, I really appreciate it! Have fun with your own sport! Ancient copper is a marvelous ink. I’d be happy to talk more about it. I feel it’s an ink that should be in every ink collection. :)

Thank you! :)

No Never I hope so!

is this real? lol

That’s wonderful! Nice to have a travel pen that is enjoyable to write with and durable to boot.

Awesome! What’s your first favorite?

@@adventuredenali Luminous Blue from BENU

Ooooh baby! You’ve got some wonderful pens in your collection!!! That’s so fantastic. Hard to go back to a simpler pen when one has experienced some greats. But, I’ve been lucky and have received a very nice little Kaweco here, and I like it enough to have been writing with it exclusively now since its arrival!

Thank you! Did you end up making a purchase?

OsHi thank you so much! The rose gold is beautiful, I was very tempted. Is the aluminum very light? Has it scratched easily? I hope you find a way to travel soon. But in the mean time, stay safe. :)

@@adventuredenali: Its lighter compared to other fpens like the Pelikan m800. I like the weight just fine and often turn it in my hands when i'm thinking. I've had it for a year now and I haven't noticed any scratches or dents, but then I always use a pen case or place it inside my shoulder bag pocket.

Me too! It’s such a great color, I think every ink collection needs it. :)

Zach Martell oh my! That’s a wonderful correlation. I was always a big fan of Anne growing up as a kid. Thank you :)

Courtcorny ha! Thank you so much!

Lee Hay thank you so much for your comment and directing me to a pen that was not in my radar! I will check it out. :)

Greetings right back to you! :D

Jeff Schwartz thank you so much Jeff for your “warm” welcome back. I do appreciate the humor, and also the sentiment. Congratulations on your Lamy 2000! Another pen I have heard so many mixed reviews about. Some swear by it, others curse it, ha. I’m enjoying the Kaweco quite a bit so far. And thank you for your compliment to my handwriting. :)

@@adventuredenali regarding the Lamy 2K, I was also very nervous about ordering it. I don't think there has ever been a fountain pen that has achieved such a diverse, sometimes polar opposite set of opinions. The thing that got me over my reluctance and motivated me to take a chance on the pen was the opinions of the reviewers that I personally respect. They were right, the pen is marvelous and a joy to write with. I ordered the fine nib because I was looking for an EDC pen so it had to be able to handle cheaper paper. It does. The beauty is, on fountain pen friendly paper, such as Rhodia, it makes even dull inks look good. If and when you should decide you would like to take a chance on the pen, shop around, don't pay full price for it. Look for it at around $175 or less with free shipping of course. You could get it from Germany for around $125 + $10 shipping but right now they wouldn't be able to ship it to the States due to Covid-19.

@@catwhisperer911 I've heard one of the major issues with the Lamy 2K is its Nib variance. Would you recommend purchasing it from an authorized seller for the warranty?

@@m9taname228 I am under the impression that all Lamy 2000s include a 3 year limited warranty. To be sure I'd ask the seller before you purchase.

@@m9taname228 I don't know about variance w/ Lamy 2K's, but I can vouch for them. I have a Kaweco Sport, Kaweco Liliput, the Pilot Vanishing Point, and finally, my Lord of the Pens, my trusty Lamy 2000. If I ever lose it, I will NOT hesitate to spend the $200 on another one. It is a dream to write with. Compared to the Kawecos I have, the "feedback" on a Lamy is non-existent. It glides and somehow the ink magically comes out and it makes writing a joy. I use it daily to take many pages of notes as part of my job in Government Relations. My favorite part about the Lamy 2K is the old school plunger reservoir. No cartridges, no converters, just pull ink right from a bottle into the pen. Literally ZERO waste. And just to settle the nerves of the folks who are feeling the need to comment on my comment, YES, the nib is finicky in the way it must be held perfectly flush to the paper....the notorious "sweet spot". I would add that the pen still writes when not in that sweet spot, but certainly not as well as when you do line up the sweet spot perfectly, and after a bit of writing with the pen, it becomes second nature. Every fountain pen lover should treat themselves to a Lamy 2K. A bit expensive (for me) to be a "travel" pen (that's what the Kaweco's are for!), but Lord, for every day occupational use, give me my Lamy 2K!

Great! Thank you! :D

James Ritchie oh good, glad to hear it! What are your other top metal pens?

I got the Delike Brass Pocket Fountain Pen for like $5. if your okay with knock offs its a great pen to help decide if you want to drop the cash on the kaweco.

Oh that’s awesome! I’ve been eyeing both Delike brass pens. The alpha and the element. Have you by chance used both?

Russell Zapp thank you and you’re welcome! Haha, it is a very pungent smell! I really enjoy it, so it hasn’t been an issue fortunately. I bet that EF can get really dry!

Lee Stevenson thank you and you’re welcome!

Thank you!!!

gadgetstop321 thank you! I wish I still had a liliput to compare it to.

Thomas thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the review. I’ll think about some things I can review in the future.

Wonderful! I hadn’t known about the anti-microbial benefits of brass! That’s great news. Ooh oxblood, what a delightful ink. I bet that’s a stunning match.

@@adventuredenali It's such a great match, I can't imagine inking it up with anything else now. Ancient Copper sounds perfect, too.

Karolen Deupree that’s so great when you find an ink “soul mate” for your pen, haha. Yeah, this ancient copper is a really great match too.

Aww haha thank you! I do appreciate it! I’ve really enjoyed the brass, it’s heavy - but feels indestructible. It’s got a nice feel to it, and if you like the smell of metal, that’s a fun bonus too, haha.

Alice Silver Delta excellent! Glad this will hopefully solve your conundrum!

D Brickner thank you very much!

Thank you! A “dupe”? I’m not familiar with that one

@@adventuredenali I mean a copy cat from aliexpress

Pen Friends thank you Andrew :D

Thank you! I’ll keep an eye on the clip, so far it’s stuck well on there. I love the pen necklace idea. You should do it! Embrace the pen geek, haha!

Fat Pickle Studio Magdalena Turner Hahahaha oh nooo! XD Well, have fun!!! :D

AdventureDenali I am, thank you ❤️

Steve Barnston ooh I wonder! You’ll have to keep me abridged!

Susan Rushing hello Tucsonan! :D I didn’t realize that you could buy a nib unit! I was under the impression you had to buy the nib and grip section as a whole, which I then just assumed might make it a little tricky to find.

Same, it’s so great. Oh Apache sunset, that’s an ink that can’t be beat as well. Hahaha yeah, I’ve got to agree about the crime scene!

@@adventuredenali when i change inks at work, specifically the ancient copper, i have to reassure my co-workers i didn't just slice my hand off or something haha. And (super nerd moment) i love matching the inks with the color of my pens. If you like super hefty, heavier pens, check out the Karas Kustoms Ink fountain pen. That + Ancient Copper = perfection!

David Anderson haha indeed! XD

Haha yay! I certainly can! I’ve got to spend more time with the travelers company pen in that case, it’s not one I’ve spent much time with yet. But I’d love to do a comparison.

AdventureDenali thank you so much!

Oooh excellent!!! So, twsbi is incredibly solid. Such a great pen, and of all the twsbi I have owned, they’ve all been a solid work horse. I love their nibs, and the carrying capacity. However, I’ve always struggled with the size and design of the pen. It’s well made and very durable, but doesn’t have the charm like this Kaweco sport has. That being said, I’ve had many Kaweco pens and the inconsistency of writing is a real bummer. I’d suggest the twsbi first - because I don’t think you can go wrong! Maybe after a little, try out a Kaweco too! XD As for the nib size, it depends on how big you write. Are you a tiny writer? Do you write in cursive or print? I think fine is generally a good place to start and often is a good size for most people. But, it is really personal and unfortunately it’s hard to know until you try it. (Mediums will tend to be smoother naturally, as they put down a bit more ink.)

do you use other fp brands ? , because sure its better than ballpoint , but compared to other brands kaweco is bad

Nelson F. Whoa, I love the idea of gluing on a rubber sac! I have plenty, maybe I could experiment.

@@adventuredenali The idea is interesting. I'm studying it a little better, so that I don't make a inky mess q= . What kind of adhesive do you think would be best for fixing the rubber sac ?.if you experiment, please share the results.

Nelson F. Absolutely! And likewise! I have a glue that is used to glue the rubber sacs onto the nib unit, so that might be a good place to start. I don’t know what kind of glue it is, bought it specifically for vintage pen restoration.

Thank you!

So awesome! :D Yeah, it’s a bummer I can’t eyedropper it! But I really want the brass, haha.

@@adventuredenali it is utterly beautiful in brass.
