Kaweco Brass Sports Entire Line

Kaweco was founded In Germany in 1883. So they know a thing or 2 about pens. That’s about 137 years in business.

The Company has its up’s and down’s but they have persevered. They do have a loyal following. I’ve noticed that more often than not a pen connoisseur who may have many grail pens, hold a kaweco or two for their use.      

In 1970 they launched their sports collection with their hunky octagonal barrel profile.

The entire range of Kaweco Brass Sport is made from solid brass. The Kaweco Brass Sport fountain pen comes with a steel nib. Although it’s a steel nib but it is one of the smoothest nibs I have had the privilege to try. Butter smooth. Almost as good as a gold nib but with less flex in the nib. Purchased after discount at RM316. Making it the most expensive in the line.

Kaweco Brass Sport gel pen was purchased after discount at RM272. Although similar in design to the fountain pen. It unveils it’s true identity once the cap is unscrewed.

Kaweco Brass Sport ballpoint pen, after discount RMRM247.70.

Next is the Kaweco sketchup brass 5.6 Pencil. It’s a 5.5mm 5B graphite lead pencil. Discounted at RM155.

Kaweco Brass Sport push pencil 0.7mm (mechanical pencil), yup you guess it correct, after discount at RM288.

The Sport range is a pocket pen so the clip is not actually needed. It is meant to be kept in your pocket sleeve in your shirt pocket or even your coin sleeve in the trousers pocket. But for the sake of completeness, the clip still comes handy for obvious purposes and furthermore, it looks good. 

A shoutout to all pen connoisseur that willingly share their knowledge. Figboot on pens, Goulet Pen Company, Sbrebrown and Peter Draws. A shoutout also to the Company’s I purchased these items from Pengallery, Stickeriffic & KS Gills.

As you can view from my collection, the clip is only attached on the fountain pen. Give me some time to complete the clips on the rest. The clips alone would cost another RM100+ to complete the rest. 

All pens were purchased in 2020. From the bottom fountain pen to top, push pencil.
