Kaweco Classic Sport Fountain Pen (Medium Nib) - Black

Pocket-sized fountain pen from 1935. Posts to full size, 23kt gold-plated nib, legendary design.

Why This Exists

The Kaweco Classic Sport has been around since 1911, perfected in 1935, and hasn't needed much change since. It's the pocket fountain pen — compact enough to live in your pocket, bag, or notebook, but posts to a comfortable full-size pen when you uncap it.

Made in Germany with lightweight ABS plastic and an octagonal cap that won't roll, it's built for everyday carry. The 23kt gold-plated stainless steel nib writes smoothly out of the box, and the hexagonal cap design means it stays put on your desk. No clip included (though you can add one separately), because the Sport was designed to slip into a pocket or notebook loop without snagging. It's the pen that proves you don't need bulk to get German fountain pen quality.

What Makes It Good

• 23kt gold-plated steel nib — smooth, reliable writing with minimal feedback
• Compact pocket size — 10.5 cm capped, extends to 13.3 cm when posted
• Octagonal cap design — won't roll off your desk, posts securely
• Lightweight ABS plastic — durable, comfortable for long writing sessions
• Standard international cartridges — refill with Kaweco, Herbin, or compatible brands
• Converter-compatible — use bottled ink with optional Kaweco mini converter
• Eyedropper-convertible — add silicone grease for maximum ink capacity
• Interchangeable nibs — swap nib sizes or calligraphy nibs as needed
• Made in Germany — Kaweco craftsmanship since 1883

Specifications

Note: Clip sold separately in gold or chrome finish. Nibs are interchangeable across Kaweco Sport models. Works best when posted — unposted length may be too short for larger hands. Kaweco mini converter or eyedropper conversion recommended for bottled ink users.
