Kaweco Sport Piston Filler: Vintage vs. Modern 

Delightful review, Joe! I've a vintage Kaweco Colleg that is a wonderful writer as well. Hope to see you soon at the Collector's group!

A thoughtful (and useful) video. Thanks.

Thanks for showing off this new pen. IMO it is a good idea of Kaweco to bring a piston filler to the market again. Though, I cannot see any justification for the high price. Regards, Patrick

Love your vintage Kaweco - very nice!

This new Kaweco fountain pen with piston mechanism is a charming and coherent continuation of the Sport series. The design is an absolute success, but it has one flaw that surprises me. The dimensions of the new Kaweco are identical to those of the regular Sport model, with one exception: the section goes deeper into the cap. On the regular Sport model, it measures 3.7 cm, while on the Sport Piston, it measures 4.3 cm. For this reason, the fountain pen is 6 mm shorter. This inexplicable fact reduces writing comfort, giving the strange impression that something is wrong. That's very unfortunate...

where did you buy the vintage Sport?

Wonderful review!!! Thank you very much. Question, do you know if this pen will be offered in the Brass or the Steel versions?

very nice.

I agree with others. I would rather have the vintage instead of the newer ones. And the pricing is getting ridiculous with these pens. I never see the pen manufacturers put in maybe an extra nib, instead of ink. You can get ink all day long. Thanks for the video.

I want Kaweco Sport with a larger capacity.

The vintage Kaweco is beautiful! 😇🩷🙏🙌

I’ve been pining for a piston-filling modern Sport for years. But now that it has belatedly arrived, I’m not overly impressed. The matte finish doesn’t look great to me. I’d have preferred a traditional piston turning knob instead of the blind cap design concealing a captive converter style filler. I don’t like Kaweco’s clips. My favorite Kaweco nibs are the B and BB. The M is the most reliable and safest to buy. And most importantly, Kaweco’s new pricing strategy seems quite out of whack to me. This new pen seems unfairly overpriced for what it offers. I felt even worse about the ridiculously overpriced ebonite Sport that I badly wanted. Need I even say the outrageous sticker price for the Sterling Sport that I still yearn to own someday? Good review! I’d take that vintage piston Sport over the new one, every day of the year. I do own a vintage Dia2. And the modern one. The Dia is the best pen Kaweco ever made.

the vintage looks better.

. CAN YOU WRITE SMALLER ? . SO WE CAN SEE ABSOLUTLY NOTHING ? , thank you .
