Kaweco AL Sport Fountain Pen (Fine Nib) - Silver

The aluminium pocket pen. Classic 1930s design, machined metal body, posts to full size. German-made, built to last.

Why This Exists

The Kaweco Sport has been a pocket pen icon since 1935—compact enough to carry anywhere, yet perfectly balanced for extended writing when posted. The AL Sport takes that classic octagonal design and machines it from solid aluminium, creating a pen with real weight and presence that the plastic versions can't match.

Silver showcases the natural beauty of brushed aluminium with a subtle sheen rather than a shine. At just 10.5cm capped, it disappears into a pocket or pencil case, then extends to a comfortable 13cm when you post the cap for writing. The stainless steel nib is made by Bock in Germany and comes in Fine width—precise enough for detail work while remaining smooth. Uses standard international short cartridges or a Kaweco mini converter for bottled ink.

What Makes It Good

• Machined aluminium body — substantial feel, durable anodised finish
• Classic octagonal design — timeless 1930s aesthetic, anti-roll shape
• Pocket-sized — 10.5cm capped, 13cm posted for comfortable writing
• Stainless steel nib — Bock-made, smooth and reliable Fine point
• Threaded cap — secure closure, won't come loose in your pocket
• Interchangeable nibs — swap sizes from EF to BB without changing pens
• Standard international cartridges — wide ink choice, converter optional
• Hand-assembled in Germany — Nuremberg craftsmanship since 1883

Who This Is For

Perfect for anyone who wants a fountain pen they can carry everywhere without babying it. Ideal for travellers, journalers, TRAVELER'S notebook users, or anyone who appreciates the upgraded feel of aluminium over plastic. The AL Sport proves that pocket pens can be premium.

Specifications

Note: The clip is sold separately—Kaweco designed the Sport to work without one, but you can add it if you prefer. The anodised finish is harder than raw aluminium and will maintain its Silver colour for years, though the pen may develop character marks with heavy pocket carry.
