I own a Kaweco AL Sport "stone washed" in black (fine nib) and I quite enjoy it. Yes, you can toss it in a bag or put in the pocket and be worry free. It's the sturdiest pen I have ever owned and I do not hesitate to take it with me everywhere. It's indestructible. The tiny Bock nib got better over time. Clearly, the best writing experience is on Tomoe River paper... the pen glides very well. When using other paper brands (Clairefontaine, Rhodia, etc.) the feedback may be significant for some writers... Overall, a good addition to everyone's collection and clearly one of the best companion when travelling. On a separate note... keep up the good work with these videos.

This was a very nice video; I've owned two of the (plastic) Kaweco Sports, and one Kaweco Brass Sport, and enjoy them immensely. I do not travel much, but I do try to get out into a nearby forest to hammock-hike (in 2020, when things shut down, I spent 38 nights in the forest, 3 with company, and 35 solo). I love the sturdiness of the Kaweco Brass Sport, and will not take my Pelikans into the forest, for fear of breaking or losing them. Your suggestion of using the case the Kaweco comes in to carry spare ink and a syringe is excellent, and I will now carry spare ink and syringe in my backpack with me. Thank you for that excellent suggestion! Happy writing!

About a month ago it became my first Kaweco and within one month I am 4 Kaweco fountain pens owner. Soon after getting Brass i got 1972 Munchen Olympic special Kaweco Sport, and a week later got current Navy colored plastic Kaweco Sport from Amazon jp, and then found nice Kaweco AL Sport. I love them all so I can imagine how you feel on your Brass too. Later!!!

I have it strapped to my little traveller's notebook (fake Midori) in a very similar fashion to yours.

Wonderfully enthusiastic (& energetic) presentation, Alicia. Thus far, I only possess vintage Kaweco's (hurrah !! I hear you say) - an original Dia & a 3A-SM - they're pretty much full size writing instruments, & in truth, I'd never really considered any of the 'Sport' range - having hands the size of shovels - until now. I've just ordered two Aluminium models, ostensibly for my own pocket notebooks, & I am looking forward to taking receipt of same. Why the sudden sea change to the more diminutive ? OdE is thre answer - As I am sure you're aware, he has an extensive arsenal of Kaweco scribes - in which, the 'Sport' models seem to predominate; watching his videos over a considerable period has (finally) converted me to take the plunge - his (own) enthusiasm, is, for want of a better expression, infectious (tho' I'm not sure such a remark would be well received, currently). I tend to watch all of his videos - primarily because he seems to be a straightforward, yet unassuming man; there's a 'quietness' to his diatribe - & even my son has commented that he appears to be a, "Nice guy". I would concur. I hope you continue to enjoy that Kaweco for many years to come -Thank you :)

AdventureDenali It is even smaller than the sport, but feels good posted. unfortunately the Kaweco converter doesn’t fit. Looking at a squeeze converter possibly, but only found them on Amazon for $9-10. Seems a bit steep, so for now cartridges and possibly refilling those. The pen works well, have a medium nib. Haven’t had any issues so far. The weight of the copper body gives it the heft of a bigger pen, but it still feels tiny. I’m experimenting and trying different nib sizes. Pretty new to the hobby, and all the pen videos and reviews make me want them all, but my bank account says no.

I am sure I speak not just for myself but please don't make us wait so long to see you again. Glad to see you looking so healthy and happy :).

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.

@@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!

1. Noodler's makes reusable cartridges with screw-on tops. They only fit on the Ahab, Neponset, and Triple Tail. A nice option if you happen to have one of those pens. 2. I'm disappointed in the body of my plastic Kaweco Sport, which seems kinda cheesy. But I am quite pleased with the BB nib. Despite its many negative reviews.

Your hair is so cute! I’ve been thinking about the travel company brass pen. I wanna use the pen loop and make a necklace so i can look like a geek haha. But yes the brass sport feels substantial and I love the patina is builds. The only cons for me are the small ink size as you mentioned but also the pen clip is a bit sketchy and often slips off. So watch out when you clip it onto your nice leather notebook!!

Hello! This video definitely convinced me that the Kaweco Brass Sport was worth getting! I’m relatively new to fountain pens, so I don’t have much experience, but I’m having trouble removing the nib and feed from the collar. I want to change inks, so I was attempting a deep clean of the nib. I unscrewed the collar and removed it from the section, but just can’t get the nib and feed out! Do they remove? Any tips for getting these out? Thanks!

I like the looks of the little Kaweco pens, in spite some of the questionable reviews about the nibs. I bought the plastic frosted version and I must have got lucky, out of the handful of pens I have now, I love it. I got an EF nib and it writes perfectly. Like a 0.25 tip gel pen. Rarely hard starts. I’m going to my first pen event tomorrow, and the seller running it sells Kawecos on his website, so I’m hoping he will have some of the metal ones there, I’m really tempted to get a metal one. I’m really, really looking forward to seeing some pens in person and trying some high end pens too, and hoping I won’t find them to write any better than my under $100 pens....

Nice review! My daily setup is a brass Kaweco Sport with Ancient Copper ink! I don't find I can leave it uncapped for a while and keep writing. Maybe some variation in the nib. Random fact: I did run over an inexpensive Sheaffer pen with my car. That drove me to seek out more rugged metal pens :-)

I've heard about the inconsistency of kaweco nibs, but I've never experienced that. I don't have any metal sports, just plastic ones (I'm hunting for a vintage piston filler ...), but I have a Supra and a Lilliput, in brass and copper respectively; and the nibs are great. The use of nibs from various manufacturers would certainly explain the inconsistency. In general, they are not perfect pens, but for what they are intended for; essentially what you described as your travel pen, I think there's nothing better on the market. As for the stoppers that ODE showed, they are an excellent idea; something I've been looking for for some time now. Another solution that I found on the internet, and that I'm looking to test, is to cut a cartridge in half, and glue a rubber sac in it, like a "bulb filler" system, to increase the ink capacity. Awesome video, as always (=

For the kind of travel you plan to do a ballpoint might actually be the more sensible option... You can get the sport brass as a ballpoint but the rest is the same. Also ballpoint ink is inherently water resistant if not even waterproof... Mind you I love my fountain pens but when the going gets tough I’d much rather have a ballpoint on me. For everything else my fountain pens but if things get demanding...well. Or to put it with examples: for everyday use or as a tourist the fountain pen is excellent, but for traveling or even hiking/trekking you can’t beat something like a rite in the rain and fisher space pen combo. It’s an added level of reliability.
