Kaweco Al Sport Fountain Pen In A Deep Red Finish

I was about to review this pen for united inkdom, when I noticed that it had gone missing. It turns out that my wife, Cherry, who's not into fountain pens at all, saw it and allegedly had an instant attraction to it and stole it.

So what does she like about it?

 

"The design and colour are what initially caught my attention. So I popped the red ink cartridge in and had a play. It feels really nice and classy. That Kaweco Steel Sport you have is cold on the skin. This is warm and just the right weight in my hand, really comfortable. The ink colour is divine too and the way it flows through the nib is amazing. It's just so smooth. I've never had a writing experience quite like this before. I also like the red leather pen pouch with the mechanical pencil. They look great together, can I keep them? Please?"

 

So there you have it. She's reviewed it. The images are all taken by Cherry and the handwriting is hers too and it looks as though the deep red Kaweco AL Sport Fountain Pen and the Kaweco AL Sport Mechanical Pencil in the red leather pouch will be staying in her handbag. I can fully appreciate how appealing this set is. And that colour is something else!

Yes! The red Al Sport is a beauty. I could not resist it and picked one up for a good price while on a recent vacation to Taiwan. (The average going rate for Al Sports in Taiwan is around NT$2080 (about 68 US Dollars) at the moment.)

 

Paired with a nice burgundy or rust-coloured ink like Diamine Syrah or Ancient Copper, it is a real treat for the eyes.

I've got to somehow get this sweet bundle out of her handbag and sent on to the next reviewer. But I can't see it happening....

Yup, you're going to have to buy her one, it's the decent thing to do. Get yourself one, while you're at it.

No-one to blame but yourself - and Kaweco, of course.

 

Never been tempted by these pens before, but the red works very well. Could be a useful litte pen to keep in a pocket. May have to look into getting one?( I mustn't be put off by the knowledge that I already have more FPs than I could ever use.) But, still ...

 

Thanks for the review.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
