Kaweco BRASS SPORT Ball Pen I Retractable Ballpoint Pen with Standard D1 Refills in a nostalgic Tin Box I Metal Ball Pen 13cm

Product Information

Unlike Sport fountain and gel pens, the ballpoint pens and mechanical pencils stay the same length, so they’re noticeably shorter when in use. Today, the Kaweco Sport range includes fountain pens, rollerball pens, ballpoint pens and mechanical pencils. The ballpoint is generally regarded as the worst pen in the Kaweco series, not because it’s a bad pen but rather that it’s a less desirable purchase than the gel roller or fountain pen. With its sleek body and brilliant performance, we wouldn’t be surprised if you thought the Kaweco Sport was a sports car. Over time the raw brass will weather creating a truly unique finish, individual to yourself and your pen usage.

I putted it sometimes in my shirt pocket (I put a clip on it), but mostly in the belt pock of my backpack, unprotected between other small stuff. In the Kaweco Classic line, the gel and fountain pens both have screw-on tops that can post, making the pen nearly full-size. The Kaweco Brass Sport range is made from solid uncoated brass and has a pleasing weightiness in the hand. Their retro styling carries through to the packaging, with many pens displayed in a vintage tin with old-school iconography. Born from rigorous German engineering and design in 1935 as an unassuming plastic fountain pen, the Sport has since added gel pens, ballpoint pens, mechanical pencils, and clutch pencils to the family.A substantial amount of the weight is in the cap so that the weight of then pen, when writing posted, rests against the hand and does not have to be moved around with the nib movements. My first impression was that your poor ink flow was due to machining oils, I would have started by that first. It would be unfortunate to see a beautiful pen damaged or dissolved by cleaning with the wrong supplies (especially since you mentioned that your friend was a "clean-freak". I know that this is a bit of a zombie post, but I would recommend adding something about how different cleaning materials might react with different pen materials (ammonia, isopropol alcohol, etc).

Mirrored on the design of the Classic Sport, the Brass Sport combines durable solid brass with Kaweco's signature simplicity, ensuring this pen will never go out of style.Kaweco ballpoint pens stand out from the crowd with their near silent push mechanism (which uses a special heart-curve), and the Sport range’s chunky hexagonal shape. To prevent galling, we recommend applying a small amount of silicone grease to the threads between the grip section and barrel, especially on the raw aluminum AL Sport. The trade-off for this is that the pen gets a nice metal cone piece at the front, giving it a bit of flair that the other pen types do not have. Machined from a solid piece of brass, the octagonal Brass Sport is the the heaviest of the Kaweco ranges with the fountain weighing in at 44 grams. Kaweco are well known for their Sport range, designed with a short hexagonal appearance that is a joy to hold, and a unique push mechanism.
