Product Information

I knew the Kaweco would be much heavier than the other pens I have and was curious how I would like that. Also, I had noticed that several users/reviewers of the Kaweco Sport series pen had mentioned that the nibs are a bit hit or miss, some a great out of the box, others not so much. As the nibs are cheap and easily replaceable, I was willing to risk to get a bad one. How to tell if a pen is wet or dry. How to remedy with out doing things to the pen (using dry or wet inks). I very much like the look and feel of the brass and I also like the fact that the pen has a design that has been around for so long and probably can be called timeless.

the joy of an inexpensive pen with a broad or stub nib: shimmering inks, sheening inks, no fear of ruining something super collectable/rare/vintage Kaweco’s Brass Sport ballpoint pen is immediately recognizable with its characteristic octagonal shape, which was first introduced in 1935. It has the kind of charm that never goes out of style. The chunky yet elegant design is also practical, as the octagonal cross-section lets the pen sit flat on a table without rolling away. The pen as expected feels very different from my other pens. While being compact it feels very substantial and robust.The now iconic Kaweco BRASS Sport series is made of solid, untreated, CNC-machined brass which will age and develop its own unique patina over time unless polished.It is hand assembled and comes in a nostalgic gift tin. We use a state of the art laser engraving machine which gently etches away the top layer of the pen to reveal the base metal underneath. Inspired by the juicy colors of tropical fruit, the Frosted Sport features a translucent body. The six body shades are accented by silver details for a fresh take on the Classic design. The Skyline Sport features silver detailing on a variety of different body colors, including neutral and stylish hues.
