Kaweco Classic Sport vs Waterman Carene

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

My recommendation: Save your pennies and buy the Carene. You will have absolutely no regrets going with the Carene. Enjoy!

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.

So presumably it is 1) a fake 2) a second or 3) somehow got damaged en route to me. I'm going to give it a good shot, though, before crying foul, as the nib writes like a Waterman Carene (you've either felt that difference or you've yet to use this pen, ever). So I don't particularly care if the cap rattles as long as the nib performs. If things degrade over the next 29 days, it goes back

(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

-Beautifully Designed -Feels good in hand -Constant ink flow -Smooth nib I put a Levenger magnum Cocoa colored ink catridge in-good to go. For those of us who still appreciate the art of handwriting.

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.

till the fever subsides. Great quality pen, great workmanship, you can see it when u remove the barrel look at the inside at the junction where you add the converter, and it speaks volume, My only regret is that I could not afford the red or the blue or the white as they were out of my pocket range!

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

Only reason I'm not returning it is because it is very smooth, and the weight and comfort of use is good. Would recommend but not for those seeking a fine line.
