I've spent thousands on fountain pens, but I never dropped any cash on a Kaweco......now I'm thinking that I should. Thanks for the video!

I met Michael Gutberlet (the CEO) in Malaysia a month ago. Absolutely amazing guy! Got to check out his collection of vintage Kawecos from the 60s that he carries to his meet and greets. He had some vintage "safety pens" and pistol filler Sports that Kaweco used to make.

You dropped that line about the Lamy 2000 -- my edc and soulmate -- and i felt a little tingle of appreciation. Love your reviews! Newly subbed!

I enjoy your informative reviews.

no pun? that lilli put me in a bad mood

Nice to see some of us still write.

These are absolutely elegant at first glance. Their size looks so comfortable, too. I'm a ballpoint man. I'll die a ballpoint man. This is the showiness and finish that a fountain pen deserves, however. They demand better than plastic. I don't know what any fountain pen is like to write with and care for though.

Awesome video!!!

Love that pen so much

The cartridge only option (and the small size) continue to stay my hand in going the liliput route. A pen I'm rather fond of for daily care, quick jots, whipping out to write a check (rare as that is today) is the Pilot vanishing point in any of it's many colors, slightly different models etc. Mind you, I wouldn't toss it in a tool box but a quick click has be writing -- and it takes a converter (if somewhat small volume).

Nick, I got the Preppy fountain pen, and it seems very good. Thanks.

Nice review.

This is the best 'sell me this pen' pitch ever.

I have the copper version and I love it!!

Damn, I ordered the flamed one on Massdrop and I love it!

I feel you with the threading angle. That's why I always carry a Liliput click-action ballpoint pen for hurried needs. Still for me, the Liliput is the king of pocket pens (I don't think the Kaweco Sport is a real competitor as it is substantially bigger). For more dedicated writing away from home, I use either of my steel fireblue or bare steel Liliputs. Both with the matching copper clips.

Converter Kaweco Sport Squeeze can be used with liliput

Damn Nick I missed you for about 6 months. Somebody unrang the lil bell. Missed you. Glad to be back. Could care less about pens but still glad to be back 👍👍👍

Damn. Add another Lilliput that I NEED.

LA Pen show is coming up in three months! You can have Mike Masuyama grind your nib in person. I’ve heard that’s the best way since you can try the pen mid way through the job I refill carts for my pilot pens sometimes, it’s not the worst if you have a syringe.

Don’t even know wtf your talking about but I’m a Shabazz fan so here I am!!!

If you send that nib off to a nibmeister, I highly recommend that you try a more unique grind like a narrower stub. My absolute favorite nib is an .8 mm stub I had ground for my vanishing point.

Im not into pens.. the jotter with the pressurized refill works great.. im happy.

You could try the 14k nibs; I've had some better experience with them. And the Kaweco piston converter built for the Sport doesn't fit, but their squeeze converter does ;)

I carry the capped ball point vison of this because I hate the fisher space pen refil I love the D1 refils it takes and apart from the one complaint I have about the pen it's nearly perfect for a pocket pen and it's the same issue you rise just wish the threading to post the pen was a bit more back just like capping the pen u don't have to worry about cross threading but to post it always scares me that I might

Have you tried Kaweco Supra? It looks similar to Liliput but just bigger. I call it "liliput on steroids".....lol

Without a clip do you need to worry about it going tip down in your pocket and leaking into the cap?

I just started using FPs and am not ready to drop that much money on a single pen but feel the plain steel calling me because it would match perfectly with my future set of pocket watercolor brushes lol

There is a optional leather pouch for the Kaweco Liliput.

I recently saw that a converter is now available for these. Hmmmm... decisions, decisions...

If you've used the travelers brass pen, how do they compare?

What knife did you cut your finger with? ZT 0452, ZT 0920, benchmade mini grip

Nick you need to put your hands on a Pilot M90 fountain pen. Just as portable; much better nibs!

what writes more scratchy, this or the LAMY Safari?

Hi Nick ! I have some questions, hope you can answer them for me ! I have been surfing around the Internet and found that people were complaining about their Kaweco Liliput Aluminium version getting corroded after not a long time of use, even if some of them only use the pen with Kaweco Ink ( they think that the Ink is the cause of the corrosion, maybe the ink is too acid and it eaten the aluminium). I want to ask you, is your stainless steel liliput and your copper one is still fine without any corrosion ? Thanks in advance !

Try the cheaper variety for us guys who can't afford costly pens like Pilot Kakuno/explorer.

Bic has a quick option and ya can spit spit balls outta too. Haha. Couldn’t resist

Kaweco​ do​ makes​ sports​ sized converter

Maybe you should try getting a kaweco supra.

not carrying a fountain pen nib up is asking for a pocketful of ink. you case or sleeve it and put it nib up in whatever, a pocket, a case, etc.....refilling a cartridge is easy and no more messy than a convertor refill. Bock isn't any better the Jowo, but both are better the a IPG nib, lol. best writer is the pilot custom 823, the Lamy 2000 is meh. but the pilot Metropolitan is a great writer and solves all your pen complaints and is only 20 bucks.

Nick!! Your finger?????

Have you tried the Kaweco Sport converter with this? :)

Have you compared the Liliput to the Kaweco Sport?

wanna try a nice pencil nick? Kaweco SketchUp 5.6mm brass

Brother...checkstand?! My buddy thinks you're around seventy, based on your accent and collogquialisms/anachronisms...but I think you're significantly younger than me...

I like the Chinese Delike brass pocket pen better especially at $19.99, no $100. difference for sure, just profit margin.

You gotta upgrade your camera man

Do get into pens?

Nice pen, looks quality. It's nice to see some other reviews instead of damn knives all the fuckin time, like this is some channel for wannabe psychopath's.

Come to Islam my brother

pens are free these days

Pen seems way over priced, I'll pass.
