Appelboom on Tour: Michael Gutberlet (CEO of Kaweco) + GIVEAWAY!

[@patrickoleary6186]

Before buying my first Kaweco FP, I thought they were primarily an introductory pen. I couldn't have been more wrong. Kaweco's are so much more than a (relatively) inexpensive fountain pen. The designs are iconic with a noteworthy nib and overall quality that is gifficult to beat, especially at that price point.

[@AppelboomPennen]

Congratulations with winning the giveaway! Please sent us an email to claim your prize.

Congratulations, Patrick!!!

[@mat8650]

When you talk about pocket fountain pens, you talk kaweco. Love it!

[@hikingpipes6911]

Kaweco had become an icon. I love the portability and the large selection of not just colors but the materials. It was a wonderful interview.

[@welcometotheworldwithsean]

I love Kaweco! I never leave home without my gray Skyline Sport! My black AL Sport was also my first BB nib! 😁 thank you both for this opportunity! The unique color combination is striking!

[@ShelleyCastle]

Kaweco Sports are perfect in every way, cute, colorful, affordable, dependable, and fit in your pocket! I love them!

[@anishmenon1485]

Kaweco is one of the best and most consistent fountain pen manufacturers in the world.

[@FishermanKill]

Kaweco has remained true to it's philosophy, design, and has not compromised quality over the years. No day passes without my Kaweco Sport in my pocket. Thank you Kaweco.

[@archivist17]

Great discussion. Kaweco is my favourite brand of writing instruments, and I always carry two Sports - a Classic with red ink, and a Skyline with black - as well as a Special S 2.0mm pencil. The pen in the give away is incredibly special, so thanks to Joost and Michael for that.

[@PenFriends]

I love that kaweco have stayed true to their origin. The fact they are now re realising a piston filler is amazing!

[@aslaw8592]

Before starting my fountain pen collection, Kaweco was the only brand I was aware of. Now that I’m deeper into collecting, I can confidently say that Kaweco is still undeniably the most accessible brand available. I love them for their wide assortment of colours, materials and accessory options, combined with their reliability, portability, functionality and indisputable value. They are truly an Every Day Pen for Everybody.

[@jamesespino1358]

I never really focused on Kaweco before but now I do! What I admire about them is first, the idea of having a pocket fountain pen! We're so used to big pens that we tend to overlook that portable pens have their purpose as well!! Second, I really love Mr. Gutberlet's personality and enthusiasm! Because of him, I could definitely feel that the company loves their customers! I'm now thinking of getting a Kaweco Sport red in B nib 😉. Thanks Joost and Mr. Gutberlet for this wonderful video!!

[@Gnomeswitowski]

I’m always impressed with Kaweco products. I love that every product is treated with the same care and attention regardless of selling price

[@alyssadelrosario1175]

Informative interview! I would like to visit there one day too! I got my first Kaweco in Germany and I have to say that their Fountain pen(s) write amazing! I love how small it is which makes it easy to carry and it gives me an excuse to change inks almost every week. You can never have enough Kaweco FPs!

[@kristend8618]

I've been newly introduced to the wonderful world of fountain pens and quite quickly my Kaweco Sport collection has grown. My go-to pens, they are just the perfect size and shape that comfortable fit my small hands and tiny writing. Writing with my Kawecos is such a wonderful feeling, I bring one with me everywhere I go. I can't wait to try the other Kaweco pens but I just adore the Sport so much.

[@AppelboomPennen]

Good choice!

[@inkyfountainpen]

I recently started my Kaweko journey! I love the size (pocket) and how affordable they are! I also just recently decided to try the clip for my Kaweko sport and it looks so cute! I hope Mr. Gutberlet keeps bringing new colors for the AL model. I think I need to visit Neurenberg (I live in the USA) and take a look at the prototypes and early models! Thank you for the video!

[@InkyPrincess]

It’s such a treat to hear from Mr. Gutberlet himself. I don’t own any Kaweco pens yet, but this is a strong encouragement for me! I really love their simple design and elegant shapes-and affordable entry-level options!

[@danielleclayton1215]

Kaweco has some amazing pens! And the colors offered allows people to color coordinate the pen to their outfit. I love the size of them and the durability of the Sport.

[@najeebahmad3103]

This was a fantastic interview--thank you! I had the pleasure of meeting Michael at a Big Apple Pen Club meeting in New York a few years ago and he was incredibly generous with his time and insights. I love my Sports and am glad to hear some of the plans for future innovations.

[@demianlanzellotti4868]

Excellent interview!

[@tuhkathri9126]

Kaweco pens are practical and thats why I love them. Especially my sport steel. I carry it everywhere and it is indestructible 👍🏻

[@ashrut9]

Kaweco is one of the best Fountain Pens and this interview was wonderful one. Such a humble personality….!

[@mamaluck4]

I love Kaweco. It was on of my first fountain pens and I can’t stop myself from collecting all the beautiful colors!! What an addiction!

[@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita]

I love Kaweco pens, mostly the Kaweco Sport both because it is based on a vintage model and also because it is a very, very good pen. And I need that special pen in my 150+ Kaweco Sport collection!

[@lafdwifey]

I love that Kaweco is family owned and run. This makes my heart happy, especially to hear how he talks about his son working with him. Very special company 💙

[@bcdkrid7561]

Uniquely styled and great perseverance.

[@xelabelly2010]

Kaweco has such a unique aesthetic combined with superior craftsmanship. The Sport is one of the most dependable everyday-carry pens that I have, and the Perkeo is one of my favourite starter pens. Writing and sketching with these pens is a pleasure.

[@n0rbert79]

Thank you for the interview, was a lovely one. Can't wait for the new releases as well.

[@thepluriglot]

I love my two vintage Kaweco piston fillers. Reliable writers and great for travelling. Took them on several flights and they haven't burped once.

[@analizadimla]

I love that Kaweco is a budget-friendly pen. It's very functional. It's a pen you won't be afraid to bring anywhere. 😊

[@Oldnose63]

What a very nice and informative video Joost Appelboom. A joy to watch every minute of it. Apart from a desire for KaWeCo pens I’m also intrigued to go to the pen museum.

[@Mrsdls77]

Kaweco sport are the cutest pens in the world- I simply love them. Also, being a woman, I don't believe in the 'bigger is better' nonsense

[@cooperland5503]

My favorite pens are Kaweco Sports. They're just cute, practical, and I enjoy hunting for all the many colors to match my inks. I have about two dozen now with no signs of stopping. It's an addiction. Thank you for the wonderful interview. I enjoyed learning more about the company and Mr. Gutberlet. I can't wait to try the piston filler!

[@joshschwerin4169]

I appreciate the Kaweco brand for their classic designs and quality. Every Kaweco fountain pen I've used has worked flawlessly. My favorite pen from Kaweco is the limited edition Dia2 in amber color with gold trim.

[@seanthomas8864]

I own a Perkeo. It is my first Kaweco. It's a great value of a pen. I plan to get a sport. Sturdy, good design, good writer, and as their entry level pens they are great prices.

[@autumnjacaranda106]

Such a charming and interesting interview! Really looking forward to the Kaweco piston fillers!

[@inkspirationaljournal]

I love that Kaweco focuses on function! I only have two Sports, but they are some of my favorite pens because they write beautifully and are affordable. I love them so much, that I'm getting a few more today! Having a great writing experience at an affordable price is what I always look for, and the Kaweco delivers that in a pocket size. I do travel journaling and the Kaweco is perfect for that. I'm so excited for the piston filler! When it comes out, I'm definitely getting one.

[@filipverbeke7468]

I love that Kaweco stays true with their story and design, and are still able to come up with so many ideas for new looks.

[@MiguelGonzalez365]

I like kaweco for the uniqueness of its designs, for the quality of workmanship and for its writing qualities. It is a brand that is easy to identify with.

[@constructive_time]

Kaweco is incredibly special because it was my first fountain pen purchase. I’ve loved my pens so much that I want to instill the love for Kaweco to my family. I recently purchased a sport pen for my ten year old niece for her birthday. She’ll soon begin her Kaweco journey and I love the idea that she’ll one day reflect back on her first fountain pen :) - Lola

[@paulmchugh1430]

I do not have a Kaweko Sport pen. I do have the Dia 2, though. It is a wonderful pen that competes with other manufacturers in Europe. Please keep up the excellent work.

[@weiszsan]

I love the pocket sized pens of Kaweco. I enjoy using the Kaweco Sport fountain pens which I own a couple off. They are portable and affordable. The tin cases they come in are such a delight to use to keep my pens safe.

[@horstherbert9636]

I really love KaWeCo. I carry a Liliput in my purse at all times. Additionally, I enjoy writing with a vintage Sport with 14k half hooded nib. They are both excellent writers and I’d never give them away.

[@michaelsimon4034]

I love the variety of Kaweco pens. It was fascinating to learn the history of this company and to understand how they produce their pens.

[@scotkleinman]

I've been hoping to hear more from Michael since you posted the three pens video. Thank you. Looking forward to my first Kaweco - been looking a lot at the various Sports....

[@johnyang8280]

Wonderful minimalistic design while maintaining an affordable price is incredible, especially considering the quality of the products, well done Kaweco

[@LobanovTheFirst]

For me Kaweco is #1 for pocket EDC pens

[@gayatrisherlawar9764]

Great Pens from Kaweco, and what a simple person...!

[@robinstoops3258]

Love Kaweco! I just discovered them and love the feel as well as the way they write. Such an interesting interview, enjoy learning more! thank you!!!

[@CraftingVicky]

I just adore Kawecos I have all the different models other then the Dia I guess I have to get that one. What a great giveaway!

[@ambivalent100]

Kaweco was among the first brands I bought. Not only because it was affordable but also because by family told me that they knew Kaweco from growing up in Germany. As as the story goes... I got more Kaweco Sports than fingers on two hands :)

[@lesleymcln]

Love my Kaweco Sports and Perkeo, can't resist the different colours.

[@robbinallan3767]

I am a big fan of Kaweco. I have pens from vintage piston filler, assorted sport line, al sport, Art-sport and perkeo. I appreciate that they are great instruments at every price point, attractive, useful, and sturdy.

[@DidiS1992]

Kaweco is such a nice affordable brand, I was positively surprised about the quality and writing experience when I bought my Kaweco pen and definitely want to buy another at some point! Can't wait for the piston fillers 🙂 Thank you for this interview, nice to see the people behind the pens.

[@DanAssisi]

Thanks for sharing more about Kaweco! I did not really know much about the brand and I loved the whole experience.

[@ivangromkij8287]

I really like how neat and handy Kaweco pens are. They are superb when you're just going somewhere where you don't wan't to bring a bag or something like that. Just put the Kaweco sport of your fancy for that day in you pocket and you're ready to go the store, meet some friends or whatever you'd like to. They're great!

[@janb.90]

I love kaweco pens for their design and affordable beauty 🙂👍

[@2204mantis]

Man, A Kaweco was my first fountain pen in adulthood and new ones enter my collection frequently. I love the brand for their heritage, design, usability and that it’s from my home country. They perform great, look awesome and are perfect for penabling others!

[@kari.bullet.journal]

I am amazed by this company history 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 My first pocket pen was a Kaweko Sport Brass. I carry it everywhere, I even bring it to my camping trips because it doesn’t take any space and it is just indestructible 🙌🏻 I thank you Appelboom for the great content you always bring 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@YoustruckGold]

One of the best of these interviews. What an engaging and genuine man he is. Makes me feel good about Kaweco. Thankyou

[@andrewleonardo9079]

I think Kaweco's classic, original and very reliable. They are excellent in making fountain pen. Kaweco is very branding.

[@Bruusky]

Awesome video! Kawecos are great, and I'm particularly looking forward to a piston model... thank you for the fantastic giveaway! Very kind of you both!!

[@Julietewan]

Kaweco is my to go pen, in every edc i have at least one is a kaweco, never fails me!

[@vasilis_k_97]

I can't wait to see the piston filler!

[@bobanderson7313]

That makes two (probably more) of us.

[@gregcooper8466]

Kaweco definitely has a fan following. The Sport is a great pocket pen, and is very popular, from what I've seen. Thanks for this Interview to let us know more about the brand!

[@olegkolbasenko]

Kaweco are fantastic fountain pens. I have been collecting fountain pens for over ten years, but I never got one like this. I was pretty sure I didn't like small fountain pens. And so on July 18, I bought my first Kaweco Sport Navy Blue. I was delighted, I realized how wrong I was about small pens. Indeed, small in your pocket and perfect in your hand. Already on July 29, I held Kaweco Brass Sport in my hand. Kaweco needs to be felt and then one fountain pen is always not enough. And by the way, I really liked that Mr. Gutberlet was talking about Africa ... it is worthy of great respect.

[@monicalaura23]

Really interesting. I love my Kaweco Sport. Very nice writing experience.

[@gatatl]

I don’t own any Kaweco pens but I have be thinking about a AL-Sport. Seeing this delightful CEO makes me appreciate the company even more.

[@levon9]

Love their sizes and different colors/materials. SUPER -excited to hear about the upcoming piston filler!!

[@astromanager]

Really great conversation, thanks to you both. I'm going to try and visit next time I'm in the area. Kaweco seems like a strong brand.

[@magmuficat3476]

My introduction to Kaweco is with a recent purchase of one of the latest versions of the Perkeo. It writes like a dream! Great little pen, pleasing design, and such a reasonable price.

[@santauxia]

Great video. Kaweco pens are a must have for any fountain pen fan.

[@AppelboomPennen]

Agreed!

[@user-vy7sc6rj3z]

Kaweco pens have the most unique design among all fountain pens i have come across, and i am a huge fan of it😍

[@annashulga4899]

Ich liebe meine Kaweco Sammlung. Die Füller sind qualitativ absolut hochwertig und das Kaweco Sport Design ist sehr schön und äußerst praktisch 🥰😍♥️🍀🍀🍀

[@Penandpapers]

Recently bought my first kaweco it was a mixed experience contacted the company got a prompt response.lets hope this journey with kaweco will continue .

[@claudecarter4876]

For me, Kaweco is classy, great quality, and durable! I have been following Kaweco on IG for a while now. I love using fountain pens in my watercolor art, and to write my journal. It has such a great feel. And this Kaweco pen looks amazing! Even 'sport' is classy in my opinion.

[@caseykelley9363]

The Sport is a beautiful pen, Kaweco has such inspired designs

[@Monastrickt]

What’s not to love? They’re affordable, come in many colours (I like to match my inks) and most of all, the plastic body makes them light, which I prefer due to my writing style. EF or 1.1 mm are my fav nib sizes. ♥️✒️

[@nancymilawski1048]

I like to match my ink to pen color too. Makes it very easy to at glance grab the the ink color you need. 😀😀

[@jacobus57]

I was skeptical of the Sport until I got one, then two, then...I love them, especially the broad nibs which are unfortunately difficult to find from my preferred US retailers. They are so much fun!

[@tevfikozkaynak2272]

I absolutely love my Paladin Evergreen Al Sport, it was my graduation present to myself for my Mathematics Degree. I love it because of the weight, the durability, and the distinct quality. It's perfect to carry around with you, like having a friend with you at all times.

[@edocgf9177]

Kaweco is an incredible brand that produces beautiful writing instruments with a beautiful history, I love the videos on this channel and meeting the people or manufacturing processes of the fountain pens and I am eager to see a new model that uses a piston system, I hope be lucky to win the giveaway.

[@mirnagaliciachagoya4602]

Kaweco pens seem great to me because of their design and compact size that makes them super versatile, I hope to be lucky in that giveaway.

[@pengangsta]

This is a very cool interview-Michael is extremely likable! Great series Joost. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@APerson-jf4ls]

Definitely a big Kaweco fan. I can’t get enough of its pens especially the sport model. I have more than 30 fountain pens already in just half a year into collecting and still planning to get more of the limited and country exclusive pens.

[@ninjovee4301]

I own a few Kaweco Sports and my first ever pen is the Amethyst ArtSport. I love how light, portable and sturdy it is! Definitely for those who prefer lighter pens. This is an interesting interview! Thank you for making this video 😄

[@Kaouet]

I due love Kaweco, especially the Sport line, for it's cutiness ! Affrodale but not "cheap", well made, nice nib, I always travel with one in my pocket ! As a clown said : I'm Lovin It :)

[@yarinageshonen]

I have yet to own a Kaweko fountain pen. I'm intrigued about their steel flex nibs. Great interview and I just remembered I have a Stroopwafel stashed in my stationery box. Thank you for the giveaway! Cheers!

[@luispostiga7902]

I love kaweco pens for their small size which I can bring anywhere to any situation being it camping, vacations, trips, and soo on. Other than that the sturdiness, affordability and quality of the sport line of fountain pens it’s just unbeatable by any other fountain pen in the market.

[@Laleolie]

I love my Kawecos even more now that I've seen who is the CEO behind the brand!

[@Pradyut_J]

Really adore the Kaweco pens. Loved the interview. Mostly the sport and liliput. But here in India the prices are a bit high when compared to international markets.

[@sonic60710]

I think Kaweco found a way to turn their original pens in something cute and modern - which I love so much !

[@Richard_Barnes]

I have the Brass Sport and love it. A brilliant pocket pen and I use it all the time. It’s nice to carry a fountain pen and not have to worry about it. Great brand with some superb pens. 👍🏻🙂

[@juliom9059]

Being that I have never owned a kaweco I can’t speak too much of my experience but they looks like great classical pen! I really liked this interview and it truly showed the rich history the brand has I definitely hope to get a kaweco some time soon I really like the overall look and shape of the pens!

[@raol77]

I am a fan of Kaweco "no nonsense" approach to pens. I grabbed Sport years ago and it was my daily driver for some time (Sport is a perfect pocket pen!) Then switched to raw AL version for EDC. Recently added Steel one to the "stable". While all of them share the same design, each of them has a very specific "feel" and I won't resign on any of them any time soon ;) Kaweco sport line also makes for a nice collectible pen :D

[@nazozkan7401]

Kaweco has a super minimal design and it is easy to carry the pens.

[@mpalmer9954]

What is not to love about the Kaweco pens especially the Sport and Parker. They are affordable, pretty colors, and great for tower building (I saw some collectors building them during the lockdown last year.)🥰❤️

[@taraldarion1397]

I can only agree with so many other comments: The Kaweco Sport is a hallmark of Kaweco. I bought mine about 1,5 years ago and I use it nearly every day. I still enjoy to just hold it in my hands and look at every detail. It is great that you can upgrade it with an ( affordable) clip. Ah, and something that is true for Kaweco in gerneral: the color options are superb. Not too bright and flashy but still lively. I love the Student 50s Rock!

[@batbayarbaasankhuu4726]

I think I bought already more than 10 Kaweco's love their metal FP

[@MrsinTN]

I LOVE the Kaweco brand and have several Sports and a couple of Kaweco Student and Perkeo pens each.

[@eugeniocuadradoalbite6706]

KaWeCo means a solid performance every single time. Now I understand why a little bit better. This philosophy of más production but not quick money really pays off. I’m very excited about those premium steel nibs, and also about the piston fillers. Maybe we can get both things on the same pen?

[@Autres95]

I like Kaweco for two different reasons. Firstly, for being a family owned business which always care about a precision and a quality of products. Secondly, fountain pens produced by them are really reliable, compact and have a very stylish classy vintage look!
