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.
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

Amazing!!!!! there is nothing like this store in Hamilton or even Auckland, speciality stationery and so much of it is Japanese, my fav! Very cute store. Penco, Midori, Supreme, Moleskine, etc. inside an old fashioned arcade, easy enough to find.

Tom stocks some of the best quality and designed stationary products you can find in New Zealand. His customer service is also top draw and excellent. I had a few issues with a pen I had bought, Tom offered some tips to help work through and after that didn’t work he offered some store credit to try something else. I would highly recommend and will be making sure to buy as much of my stationary products as possible from SuperKiosk in the future! Keep up the great work Tom!

Such a great find! Love their range - quality stationery you don’t see everywhere. Service was awesome—ordered at night, shipped the next morning, and arrived the day after. Will definitely shop here again.
If it skips, scratches, or feels like background utility, we don't stock it. Every tool in this kiosk has earned its place on our desks before it reached yours.
