Kaweco Liliput - A True Pocket Pen

[@GordonTillmanTexas]

I just use a syringe with a blunt needle to flush out an empty cartridge with water then use that same syringe+needle to refill the cartridge with my ink of choice. Pretty much the best way I have found to work with pocket pens.

@@GordonTillmanTexas same here! Kaweco did just release a converter compatible with this model, but you get about half the capacity as a standard cartridge

Me too!

My favourite pocket pen. My brass Liliput goes with me everywhere, I use it every day. I got a fine Kaweco Premium nib for it which writes very nicely, I think Kawecos are perhaps the best cheap nibs around. I find the "how many turns to uncap" question faintly bemusing. Its clearly important to some people but it's not something that even occurred to me until I started watching fountain pen videos on KZbin.

@@-yeme- glad you love it! This does make for a great EDC for quick notes. Early on I didn’t think much about the number of turns to uncap. But as my collection grew, I found caps that screw off in more than 2 turns stood out. Not a big deal (some may actually prefer it for security) but a distinguishing feature.

Love the size of this for a travel sketch pen! I wonder if this would make a good eye dropper filler?

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

@@davidbales8053 perhaps in a plastic or stainless steel version. But you won’t be able to see your ink level easily.

Somehow my liliput (black) I bought here in India came with a brass clip at no additional cost. But it’s a little too thin for me in comparison with the other 3 (which I also have).. Which watch ⌚️ are you reviewing next ?😉

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

Sounds like a good deal! No watch reviews on the horizon at the moment 😊

[@paulmchugh1430]

Nice looking pen. Nice weight. It is just too thin for me. I can see it being used for taking short notes but as a daily writer, not so much. If i was to buy a Kaweco it would be something on the size of a Dia2.

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

I agree, for me its a great pen to through into a bag or pocket. Not something I would use for long form writing, but something to reach for a quick note.

@@ForTheLoveOfPens well I want credit in your video then 😜

[@paulll47]

With the new converter Kaweco put out, I might actually get this one...

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

Have they released one smaller than the one for the Sport?

[@paulll47]

@@ForTheLoveOfPens Stilo and Stile has one that has the same capacity but with a foldable rod, it's actually pretty cool.

[@ForTheLoveOfPens]

@@paulll47 Thanks for the heads-up, I haven't seen one in person, but that is pretty creative!
