Kaweco Fine Vs Extra Fine

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I've decided to buy a Blue Kaweco Classic Sport with a Gold Deluxe clip and Diamine Blue Velvet but , I was just wondering what nib is smoother the fine or extra fine and is the fine fine enough to use on crappy paper ?

 

Thank everyone

I bought an Ice Sport in extra fine but didn't like it. It took a lot of nib adjusting (I had just started on my fountain pen journey then) before it would write like I like it.

Mine is an F. Writes smoothly on everything from Rhodia to toilet paper.

"how do I know what I think until I write it down?"

I love my "F" Kawecos (every single one, in fact). Have you tried the Bronze Lilliput? They are great little pens and even more indestructible than the Sports. When I have some money, I will get the new Lilliput, the Fireblues, which have a metal body that has been overheated and turned the metal into different colors. Really neat!

Using right now:

Visconti Voyager 30 "M" nib running Birmingham Streetcar

Jinhao 9019 "EF" nib running Birmingham Railroad Spike

Stipula Adagio "F" nib running Birmingham Violet Sea Snail

Sailor Profit "B" nib running Van Dieman's Night - Shooting Star

I've got two Kawecos; one EF and one F. The EF feels different to the F, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's scratchy.

So I decided on the fine in blue and got my sister in law a medium in red. They are both smooth but the medium is substantially smoother and wetter. However I'm happy with my fine, it is better suited to my needs of writing on cheap paper. Thanks for all the help

      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
