Kaweco Student Review


AustinMalone1999

Recommended Posts

This pen was sent to me by Kaweco for review purposes by Kaweco. They have been very patient with me. I plan to do a review on my blog in the near future with pictures, but my camera is busted and I can't afford to have it fixed. Honestly I was not expecting to like this pen, that is why I didn't pay for it myself. I was surprised, the weight of the pen made the nib write smoother than the Sport Classic in my opinion. Yes the pen is made of plastic but not the cheap stuff like on the Platinum Preppy. My version is the translucent blue with a Broad Nib. The barrel of the pen is the perfect length to accommodate two Standard International Cartridges; one in the section and one behind it. I do suggest getting their converter however, because my regular converter became lodged in the barrel. I think an Eyedropper Conversion would be possible with a proper O-Ring. I do not feel comfortable with Eyedropper Fill Pens. I think this pen would be worth the price, even if I had to pay for it. My number one knit pick about this pen is the fact that the nib looks a bit small in comparison with the rest of the pen, and that the cap does not post very deeply or evenly (sort of like a Noodler's Ahab). I would buy it, but seriously do not try and use a regular converter, it will be too wide for the barrel.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
