Kaweco Classic Sport vs Jinhao 159

key factors affecting price. The nibs just feel different. I use steel nibs still (Lamy Al Star and Kaweco Sport), but they don’t quite compre to the Lamy 2000 or a vintage Parker Duofold. The latter two pens are heavier, use piston filling and button filling mechanisms, have gold nibs, and feel more carefully engineered

Can't beat Jinhao for bang for your buck. The 159 and x750 are great writers. You can also swap nibs on them pretty easily.

I don't like this pen I was expecting something of higher quality, especially for the money, but it turned out to be a cheap plastic pen. Writes ok but nothing special, I'd recommend buying something else.

[music] Hello, welcome back to another pen talk. Thanks for tuning in. Thanks for joining me as I explore the wide world of pens. Yes, you see before ...

(SEE UPDATE BELOW) Under impressed. First impression: The pen feels cheap. It comes in a flimsy cardboard box and was supposed to have a starter ink cartridge, which it did not. Based on my lowered expectations, I will give the pen a few days once I get an ink cartridge then do a followup to this review

So far have only used Jinhao cartridges for ink and flows without priming if stored correctly. Would order again as price is right and pen performs well.

I find the plastic in the Sport to be a bit more flimsy than the TWSBI and the Safari. Not bad, but not quite as good.

There's a difference in feel between cheap, injection molded plastic and turned acrylic. Don't expect a $30 twsbi eco to feel as heavy, as solid, as substantial, as hand filling, as a Visconti Homo Sapiens made from lava resin.

The only good attributes of this pen are its compactness and how incredibly lightweight it is. This makes it a decent pen to take on the go, but it could be way better. In conclusion, if you want a Kaweco sport buy the version with a medium nib, since it will let the ink flow easier. I really wanted to like the pen, but it was more of a disappointment to me

9mm stubs and all points between. Do be aware this is a big, heavy pen. Otherwise I highly recommend it.
