As I stated in my TWSBI post<\/a>, the Kaweco Sport series is another contender for best “step up” pen. I know several people who absolutely adore the Sport series, and I’ve come across photos of truly impressive collections<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really like the non-satin finish metal-bodied Sports for their weight and durability. The nibs for the entire series are decent and come in a wide range of sizes, but the TWSBI nibs are definitely better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Review<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Sport comes in both plastic- and metal-bodied pens, with very different price points. The series also has dedicated clips, converters, and nib options. JetPens has a good overview guide<\/a> on the entire Kaweco Sport line with additional detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reliability \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2606<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The only times I’ve had issues with a Sport is when I use a very dry ink. However, like my TWSBI 580s, I haven’t left one inked for an extended period of time without use. For this reason, I can’t, in good conscience give it more than 4 stars, but, if I hear anecdotal evidence that it’s better, I’d be happy to change the score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Appearance \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Sport series has a classic look, with an octagonal body that hearkens back to a 1935 Sport update. It comes in such a wide variety of materials, finishes, and colors, I can’t give it anything but five stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plastic-Bodied Pens<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Sport comes in four standard lines of plastic-bodied pens, each with a multitude of color options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
