Kaweco listened to its customers "sort of" I think that most of us who wanted a piston filling pen was for its ink capacity but, if it has the same capacity as a cartridge, it only has the disadvantages of this type of pens: more difficult to clean and maintain, at a higher price. I have no problem filling a cartridge with a syringe and, if I am traveling, I can carry a couple of spare cartridges, instead of a bottle of ink
Well, time has changed and technology evolves but not that evolved. There is always a cost trying to step out of the trend. Oh wait, piston sport should be counted as two steps to be exact.
Serious economists used to distinguish the people's preferences from their 'demonstrated' preferences. The former are expressed in surveys internet and other venues. The latter in actual purchases.
Since about half of economy today revolves around the former, people have kind of forgotten the difference.
Wish good luck to this new model of an excelent company that has caused many of us to fall in love with fountain pens again But actual sells will tell. You made a good point.
I usually also refill cartridges with a syringe. But many people asked for this and also the CEO of Kaweco wanted this... I don't know if the main reason for having a piston filled pen is the ink capacity. Not sure at all. So, it is nice to have the option of getting just a regular AL Sport, for cartridges. I am enjoying this one, but usually I prefer cartridges over pistons.
@@user-so4tx7zs5r Yes, there is a cost, mostly when they try to put a different filling system in the "same" pen, with the same dimensions.
@@tonibat59 I think it would be interesting to make a survey amongst users. Thank you for bringing that up. Maybe I'll organize a simple pole about it. just to check...
Thank you for this clear and thorough review! I'm firmly on the fence with this pen. I love my Kaweco Sports and the idea of reviving a vintage model is very cool, but the only advantage of the piston filling system is the larger ink capacity. Otherwise, they're a pain to clean and maintain. And $170? We're deep in gold nib territory.
they could easily add a gold nib for maybe 15 dollars more. it's crazy how exorbitant kaweco's prices are. they even trademarked another company's name because they had a cap with facets (not even the same number of facets).
Thank you for watching. I am not saying it is cheap, but though it is gold nib territory, there aren't piston filler pens with gold nib at this price. The cheappest I think is Lamy 2000 at around 250€...
For 15$ more, how realistic could that be? Gold #5 Bock nibs are not inexpensive... With a quick search at an European online store, the cheappest pen with a gold nib is a Sailor 1911 Profit Light, for 140€... And the cheappest with a piston, and not even made of metal is the Lamy 2000 for 250€. It is hard to spend this amount of money. But in the fountain pen ecossystem I don't think it would be possible to create a piston filling system for a metal pen with a gold nib for only 200€ as you suggest.
This is a really interesting discussion, about pen cost and price, and our will to pay the price. Maybe it is material for a video on its own...
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita prices vary tremendously from place to place, but here in the US you can purchase the excellent Pilot 92 piston filler for as little as $115.
@@mkompan Sure. I think US has special trade agreements with Japan. Here in Europe not so much. So I compared it with my reality here, and that is why I use the prices in €. That Pilot here would cost over 150€, depending the countrym and € and $ are not equivalent, which makes it even more expensive! 🙁
I was really excited when I saw this pen at their website. But when I searched further and further for vintage kaweco piston fillers I realized that you can get a better pen for cheaper. I bought a vintage kaweco set with a 12 g and a ballpoint pen for less than the retail price. But the pen has larger ink capacity and a gold nib. We also have to mention that the gold nibs back then from kaweco where ahead of all the other German manufacturers. So I am happy that the piston sport got me into this topic but I think that it is a really bad deal to buy it.
I agree vintage ones are nice. I have some. But I think they are unreilable and sometimes very hard to repair. I destroyed one during repair. This is the way to go for a new one. Otherwise, if one know what to expect from vintage used pens, we can get great deals, not only from Kaweco (I'm also thinking about older Japanese pocket pens).
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita thank you for your response! I would like to know if you could tell me what kind of materials and even nibs we will see in the future. Because I think with a gold nib this pen would be much better.
I pre-ordered mine about a week ago. I am looking forward to getting it. I love all my Kaweco pens. I have a bunch of Sports in all sorts of colors and try to put in matching ink. I also enjoy my Kaweco Specials, with the black one being one of my EDC pens. All my Kawecos have extra fine or fine nibs. Only one has a broad nib. Thanks for an excellent video.
Thank you for watching. The Special is not my favorite Kaweco model. At least for fountain pen, although I love it as mechanical pencil.
Now that's a fantastic fountain pen! Thanks again for yet another high quality, and thoroughly informative video! Hopefully one day I get to try one out!
Thank you for watching!
It is an honor@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscrita thanks again! Thank you to the Maxima... maximum ;D Thanks again Paulo
You Rock!
Oh my god! You have the pen equivalent of a closet full of black shoes. It was crazy seeing that many black Kawecos that were different.
Yes... I guess so... 🙃
Wonderful! Thank you for the review. I'm glad you went into depth about the mechanism. The blind cap getting accidentally unscrewed seems like a pain to deal with but I don't it'll happen often.
Glad you liked. I was afraid the video was too long but I really wanted to go in detail about it.
I know you and many of us have been waiting a long time for this. Thanks for all the details. Consideirng jumping on a this one, or waiting for more color options....
Thank you for watching. I think the fun will increase as new colors are released.
Thank you for the detailed review. Maybe it’s the camera angle but the piston version appears to be 1-2mm shorter than the regular AL both capped and posted. I hope Kaweco continues to adopt this filling system to the brass and steel versions.
Other metal version should be rather easy to push out, as the metal exterior is likely a thin shell being attached to an isolated plastic/acrylic/resin insert.
@@user-so4tx7zs5r I assume that too, but it does take some capital for Kaweco to develop the design / tooling and machine time for other materials
I think it is the camera angle. They said they will make it from other materials.
I bought the piston sport yesterday. Everything about it is great, from the nice packaging to the smooth piston to the nice smooth nib. (I have an ) Designed and made with love! Thanks for the videos!
Thank you for another great video!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for the great review, Paulo! I just received my Kaweco Piston Sport with a medium nib, and it is excellent. It looks gorgeous and writes beautifully. I second the suggestion of a comprehensive comparison. Perhaps between the vintage model, the Sport Luxe, and the Piston Sport?
Thank you for your input. Maybe, at the end, I'll need to make the 3 comparison videos!
Thanks for a great review. I was really looking forward to this pen, but it turns out to be a little too expensive, even though I understand how much went into creating it. But my vintage V15 Sport piston fill works fine, without a blind cap, and with a gold nib, although also without a built in clip. It will remain on my wish list for awhile. The Luxe is also one of my favorites and would welcome a comparison.
I think the problem with vintage Kaweco Sport pens is when they fail. Hard to repair. Otherwise they are great.
Thank you for your opinion about the comparison.
Is it too much to compare all of them?
It is 3 videos instead of one. I like to compare pens in 1 vs 1. To keep those kind of videos shorter.
Thanks for the review! I like this pen a lot and would like to show my support for this model by buying one, but I'm hoping Kaweco will release a version with silver trim so I think I"ll wait for that. I had to laugh at your attempts to wrire with the BB nib -- that's my favorite Kaweco nib so I"d have no problem with it.
I am sure they will release many variations. I think it may be worth to wait for a while. It is just a different trim, so I think it will happen...
I am not a person of B or BB nibs!🤣
This F nib looks amazing.
And it is. Very, very smooth. On the other hand, the BB is fun, but not for me... 🤣
Thank you, a fascinating look at the kaweco sports variations over time, any chance of putting them all head to head in a video?
I bought a vintage Kaweco sport for less. It is resin, has nicer proportions and a gold nib in oblique. Judging from the ink window the ink capacity may be a little higher than a standard cartridge. I’m not concerned with ink capacity though.
Molto bella ne ho una. Leggera e robusta nello stesso tempo.
Molto bello il video. Grazie
Grazie! 🙂
At some point in this video I believe you say the ink window is made from acrylic. However, I've seen someone else claim it's ABS. Which one is true do you think?
Sorry. I said that in a kind of general sense and it was not accurate. I don't know what material it is made of. Sorry about that.
This will be fun!
I hope you will like it!
Really very nice >>>>>> Thank you .
Thank you for watching.
Hmmm….I use R+K Salix…but should I use Salix with a piston filler ?
Recommendations are that, with such ink, the pen should be cleaned frequently... So, for a piston filler I wouldn't use it. If it was a cartridge filled pen it would be easier. Even if yoou didn't use all the ink, you could put the cartridge aside, clean the pen and put it back without wasting any ink.
👌👌👌😍😍
We all know that's a captured converter. Same ink capacity? Really? Pass
In a broad sense aren't all metal piston filler pens a pen with a captured converter?
Since when is the safari not meant to be posted?
In my opinion it is not. It can be posted, but it is long enough not to be posted and it becomes too out of balance when you post it, considering you hold the pen by the secion. So,I it can be posted but was not created for that. As it is the case with the Parker Duofold also.
@@OdE-ObjectosdeEscritaAh ok I got you, I prefer it posted
A re+run??
What do you mean?
1:41 still image ::: Same capacity of a cartrige? 149€ for plain black (ok it's matte and aluminium) and steel nib? no thanks
Yes. That is why I like to cover all this details in my videos, so the viewers may decide if they want such a pen or not.
