Hi Mick, I really enjoy your reviews and found this one so interesting. My first pens were from Kaweco, I was fascinated by the look and feel of them and as I like calligraphy nibs was delighted to have that choice in the range. However, I have been frustrated by hard starts and poor flow with some of them. I used cartridges as the converter was so tiny and an added expense and found the only way to overcome that was to use one as an eyedropper which I don’t like doing. I am wondering if the feed is not adequate or designed for the extra ink that a wide nib must require? (I have tried flossing etc which has helped a bit) I don’t have this problem with the Lamy Safari. I am very new to this fascinating world so may be missing something that I should be doing, so would be interested to hear your comments. Meantime keep up the good work, I always love your reviews.
A good video, Mick. Well done. It's a bit expensive for what it is, but that's just my opinion. Why do we call these "pocket pens". Where did that come from? All my pens are pocket pens; even my Casey woods, which I carry in a case in my trouser pocket. Good video.
I love this pen. I have it in BB. For some reason, I don’t even notice the threads. I think that’s an individual thing. I use it with Lie de The ink from Herbin, which makes it look like bronze is pouring out of the pen. :)
I have two Kaweco Sport in brass that I use every day as my EDC. I have a pencil case with all brass writing instruments. The bronze version doesn't look distinctive enough to warrant spending all of that money.
I have the steel and aluminum models. I never use them. I deeply dislike contact with the sharp thread, for me this is a definitive point for using a pen or discarding it. It's a shame because for the rest it's a great pen. I'll probably sell them.
A great video thanks!

Still waiting for a Copper Sport before I take the plunge.
