Kaweco Classic Piston Sport - Back To Their Roots

[@Андре-КРЫЛОВ]

On the contrary! The fact that the inner cap from the refueling system remains inside the outer cap is a blessing, because it helps to avoid the offensive loss of this small cap.

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

@@Андре-КРЫЛОВ That is a use case. Personally I would be more concerned about the blind cap getting loose and falling off. But it takes quite a few turns, so people will hopefully notice it’s loose in time. I am curious if the vintage piston sports were also designed this way.

I bought this version because I didn't want to spend about 150€ on an Al Piston in the first place. I love the way it works. And, for the use I make of it, the ink capacity is more than sufficient, much better than the classic small cartridge Sport. The Broad nib provides a splendid writing experience. Personally I would love to see a video about the Hongdian M2. Excellent video. I love the disassembly part in all your videos. It's really helpful. Thanks for your work.

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

@@JoseFbt6bk thank you so much! I have posted 2 reviews of the Hongidan M2 already, but the brass version is new. I don’t want to be too redundant… maybe I’ll do a short overview if there’s interest 😊

[@JoseFbt6bk]

@ForTheLoveOfPens Sorry, I didn't notice. I'll watch those reviews.

@ForTheLoveOfPens Thanks so much!

Thanks for this review, and thank you especially for using standard writing utensils in your size comparison!!! It has never made sense to me to compare a pen to pens that most people don't own...

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

Thank you! I fully agree. I try to always include these especially for people new to the hobby.

Thanks

Great review. I also got the M2 “brass”. Love it.

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

@@ashzhu3085 thank you! Great little pen ❤️

I’ve yet to buy a Kaweco. Curious to hear how you like it.

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

Hopefully this video gave you an idea of my impressions...I summarize my overall views at 13:07

[@followyourbrush]

@ yes it does. I’m still not quite ready to get one. 😉🎄

[@paulmchugh1430]

I really want to own this pen but the size, particularly the grip area to too thin for my hands to use for a long writing session. I had a regular Sport but I let it go for this reason. If it was perhaps 2mm wider, I would jump at the opportunity.

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

@@paulmchugh1430 unfortunately it will be too small for some. Did you try holding it on the threads/barrel?

[@paulmchugh1430]

@ForTheLoveOfPens Yes, with the standard Sport. That is about how thick the grip should be.

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

@ there aren’t very many pocket pens with that thick of a grip section. Off the top of my head I’d suggest looking at the Opus 88 mini, but I haven’t personally tried one

[@paulmchugh1430]

@ForTheLoveOfPens I have been looking at the Gravitas pocket pen. It has a #6 nib with a semi-flex option.

[@chi-towncalifornia5916]

I own a black Skyline Sport (has silver trim and nib), but I don’t think I will get a Piston Sport. I have an inkling that this pen will largely appeal to those: A) Who want a piston filler from each major company (Pilot CH92, Lamy 2000, etc). B) Those who want one Kaweco, but want something unique that not everyone else owns. or, C) Kaweco Sport Collectors. Otherwise, this model may be a tough sell, though it’s much more competitively priced than the AL Piston Sport. Not including a clip does feel pinche, though.

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

I do think it has a fairly niche market. Personally I was drawn to it because I've found I prefer pocket pens on the go, but I also like a larger ink capacity so I don't have to worry about carrying cartridges/ink bottles.
