(This is the third out of four Kaweco pen reviews)
I'll keep it short, just like this pen!
I wouldn't reccomend getting one of these, I'm sorry Kaweco! I really like their fountain pens, but that's it, their ballpoint pens aren't my favorite!
The first problem: it's waaaaaaaay to short. Whereas the fountain pens would become regular sized when you post the cap, this one obviously doesn't have a cap. So it stays short, at about 10.5 cm/ roughly 4 and a bit Inches. Which is a little uncomfortable to hold.
Secondly, It uses D1 refills from Kaweco. And I'm affraid they aren't nearly as good as the ones in the Lamy accent multipen.
But why would you buy this pen anyway? Not to have a daily writer I guess! The only reasons I could think of are these:
-Having a complete set (fountain pen and ballpoint pen)
-For quickly jotting down notes.
-To get rid of excess money!
Thanks for sharing your review on Kaweco AL sport ballpoint pen.I have the same problem as you.So i didn't prefer this type of pen.I always prefer parker ballpoint pens which smooth and reliable.I think you should try this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! I personally prefer fabercastell refills, parker refills tend to leak, i had some horrible experiences with them in the past . You should check these faber castell refills out, they also fit in parker pens.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your reviews with everyone .You have some great tips and I am sure they will be helpful and informative. Thank you
ReplyDeleteSeem to be in the minority here but I quite like it! Satisfyingly weighty and well finished (mine's red) You know it's going to be stubby when you buy it. Have no problem with smoothness of writing, certainly my diary pages have defeated many ballpoints and rollerballs previously, Kaweco writes just fine so far. I don't intend it to be a daily writer though, but for lists & notes it's just the job. Be taking it to tonight's pub quiz
