- Kaweco proves that a minimalist pen doesn't have to be minimal in size. The Kaweco Supra is the "hulked-out" version of their popular metal-bodied Liliput fountain pen. The Supra has the added ability to remove the middle body "extender" piece to make the pen more compact for your hand. Watch the video for a full demonstration and writing sample.

Wonderful pen, I have it high on my list, also because I can use the Bock nibs that I have from my Namisu fountain pens (especially the titanium one).
Nice video, thank you.
Thank you, well done review!
Why the step down in the metal? It would be so nice if it was just a smooth cylinder.
Heavy thing. Nice review!
Is it magnetic?

I usually use mine with the extension build in and I sometimes still post it :P The Stainless Steel is just a little hint lighter than the Brass version, but not so much that it would influence a purchasing decision I think. In my opinion the Brass version is very grippy, section wise, because of the Patina in builds up. The Stainless Steel isn‘t quite ad grippy, yet good for a stainless steel grip section; it is nowhere near the famous Lamy Studio grip sections :) I own 2 Brass Supra (experiences with 3), 1 Stainless Steel and already gifted a Stainless Steel one.
I would LOVE to see a Titanium version. ...and I would freak out if a Oversized Titanium Supra would be available. Increased diameter by 2 mm, especially in the grip section. Maybe a 5 mm longer grip section and a No. 8 nib :D (I wouldn’t mind it to be longer, maybe so that the short version fits a Sport Converter?, even additional thickness on top would be okay, too to fit a No. 8 nib; but this is just optional)
It seems that you want a Namisu Horizon Titanium !
Well, otherwise fits the description that you just gave :-)
That's what I got and I also added a Titanium nib ;-)
I think you'd like it. It is still on sale at their website.
korax67 You‘re right, I would love to get one :)
I jusy got mine. Looking forward to it. I’m not a fan of carts and it seems this pen is going to best in the shorter version and will only fit converter when fully supra’d out. Does that sound right?
Yes, it needs to be full length to accept the standard international converter.
really love mine. was gonna get liliput but glad I got this one instead.
btw I call this a "fidget pen"....lol
I do, too! I love taking apart the pen and reconfiguring it in the different sizes.
How can you tell it’s a Bock nib just by looking at it? Is the feed on a Bock nib different looking than one from a Jowo?
Yes. A bock feed looks different than a Jowo. I’ll shoot a video to show the difference.
Can anyone suggest which is a better fountain pen out of Lamy LX, Lamy Studio and Kaweco Al sport. It will be my 1st fountain pen experience !!
I suggest the Lamy LX. The Lamy AL Star is virtually the same, just the aesthetics are slightly different.
Goldspot Pens thanks... will go with your suggestion Lamy LX Ru... thanx again 🙏🏼
The nib size is 060 or 250 ??
It's a 250 nib size.
that would be a Jowo nib , if I'm not mistaken.
Nope Boch
It is a Bock nib. The 2 Stainless Steel Supra I ordered also came with Bock nibs.
It's a stainless steel Bock nib. You can also add a semi-flex titanium nib from Bock too.
korax67 I managed to put a Pelikan M800 IB (basically a 1,5 mm stub) with the feed and housing of the Kaweco nib into one of Supra :)
Attractive, unaffordable pen. Question: are there any pens with posting nibs avaliable in the US?
There is a Pilot Custom 912 with a Posting (PO) nib that's priced a bit higher than the Kaweco Supra here. That is the only one that I know of.
@@GoldspotPens Thanks. I have looked at all the big online retailers, and none of them (including Goldspot) seem to stock the 912 with the posting nib. Maybe I'll get one off eBay.
