Kaweco Classic Sport vs Pilot Custom 845

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

I got this pen because it is the cheapest Urushi pen you can buy to the best of my knowledge. Nib is very large and unique, soft, but deffinetly not a flex nib. Very good right out of the box absolutely no adjustments or damage.

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.

it writes good, it looks good, it feels good. The stars aligned to make this pen a desirable purchase for me, even with the high price.

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

A music nib really shines when the pen is relatively short and light weighted. Eh, IMO. That is, I personally do not think you may want to choose to buy a heavy, long pen, if you really want to use a music nib. You use the pen, eh, side ways, so to speak, thus it is easier to handle if the pen is relatively shorter and light weighted, IMO
