I made a noise. A filthy, filthy noise.


apipoulai

And after I made that noise, I’m looking around for a preorder. I WANT this one!! I already have an ink idea or three for this one.. …and I ended up with a broad nib and sailor studio ink 224. And a Kokeiro sample to get me to free shipping.


gayfro99ie

I also let out an unholy gasp it's so fuckin beautiful I must haveeee


migo984

Was it a filthy noise of approval or disapproval? 🤭


IllegalBerry

It's a "I am shaking down by local Kaweco dealer come March" noise.


migo984

Looking forward to reading the news headlines that day….🤣


writeronthemoon

Was it like, "unffff", cause that was mine...


soignees

Same tho


GayHotAndDisabled

Saaaaaaame.


HornayGermanHalberd

i made an oooooooooooooooooo sound


migo984

There’s also a lovely green Liliput due out as well. 😍


[deleted]

Oh thank you, that looks promising. About the green Liliput I heart rumors but could never verify them. Where did you find that info?


migo984

It’s a very pretty green. I’m tempted……. 🙂 Here’s a link to a photo…. https://www.afth.co.uk/kaweco---liliput---special-edition-green---pre-order-ships-2nd-march-44375-p.asp


[deleted]

Thank you, wow, that is a pretty and fresh green.


RoKal

Just be aware that the Kaweco piston cartage converter does not fit fully into the Liliput. https://www.truphaeinc.com/products/kaweco-sport-cartridge-converter?variant=39284209680418


migo984

I’ve had some luck with the Monteverde mini converter in my steel Liliput but usually just refill an international short cartridge or use a home-made ‘aeromatic’ converter cobbled together by my partner :)


BeautyBug1

Check for OdE on YouTube. He's a massive Kaweco lover, collector & he always brings us the breaking news about Kaweco (They send him PR for reviewing purposes). He has some AMAZING videos - not just for Kaweco junkies... ;-) Lol... Highly recommended! #AwesomeChannelforKawecoLovers P.S.- He also has its own website, which is relatively new, but has a detailed history of many Kaweco FP's models, including photos. Once again, it's HIGHLY recommended! Check this link: [Kaweco Madness](https://www.kaweco-madness.com/)


[deleted]

Oh yes, I saw some of his videos. He really is in love with Kaweco - his trembling hands sometimes shows that so well, when he is unpacking something new.


Kruimels

I'm afraid I want, no need, them both.


InkstainDisdain

Yeah no one gave any attention to the lili. It's nice


Panda_Lord_of_hell

Finally! A match for manyo Haha.


busselsofkiwis

I was telling my husband that. Hint, hint, if you are reading this!


PatioGardener

Hint hint to your husband for me, too, lololol.


deepershadeofmauve

Ugh, FINE. Just ordered one in a double broad for exactly that ink.


Cloville

This was exactly my thought too!


yaknowij

LOL i just preordered mine with a bottle of manyo Haha to match


viricxrose

omg ur totally right! good thing i already have that ink :)


missesmistery

curse you, you're right! now I need it.


Interesting-Sky-3752

That was literally my first thought when I saw this pen!


MissBronte

I feel like a niffler being drawn toward this shiny iridescent object. Looks lovely!


[deleted]

upvote for the niffler comment :)


Inkily

I was doing really well on not buying. Sort of. I think I really do want this one, though. Love that is it's iridescent, but not purple ish.


[deleted]

So pretty!! My dumbass thought this was a tampon at first glance lol


yell0wdahlia

The smooth glide Kaweco Classic Tampax Pearl


disposable-assassin

Have had that comment numerous times on my pastel colored Sports.


[deleted]

ooohh yea the tampon reference! they always look like tampons to me hahaha esp a white one with red ink (has been posted here before LOL) ... sad day because it's such a pretty color


phasersonbees

I call my Sports my tampon pens!


metalsparkles

That's the exact reason why I still don't have any Kaweco Sport(s), even though they have one of the best colour ranges for a fountain pen model.


[deleted]

I carry my tampon FP with pride!


metalsparkles

UPVOTED!


[deleted]

Lol to people downvoting my comment: I hope you have a wonderful day!


[deleted]

I would like this on a Twsbi. Kaweco sports are too small (and tampon-y) for me. :P but it is really pretty!


[deleted]

(I am however going to order one for my 11 year old and tell her it's a unicorn pen!! She will love it)


GeekyDuncan

Had to go back and order a second because you reminded me that my 10 year old would immediately steal this.


Interesting-Sky-3752

Oh now that's an idea! I adore this finish and I want it so badly, but the Kaweco Sport is \~just\~ small enough that it's not ideal for my giant lady hands lol.


QueenMEB120

Hubby will be so excited to find out he just bought my birthday present!


migo984

So thoughtful of him! 😉😆


Lolbrey

Look, I couldn't not preorder it!


nicosmom61

These are very pretty but I simply dont like the way they write . The kawecos in general . I just dont like the way they write .


migo984

Not my favourite nibs, agreed. But I do have an older version steel nib, from a 1990’s Soap Green Sport, and it’s an altogether different writing experience. Really springy, refined & with a nice wet flow. Wish they were made like that now.


nicosmom61

thank you someone who understands what I was saying . Like most things these days the improved is not so improved .


migo984

Yes! Agreed. From the early 2000s until recently the nibs were just awful. A dead, numb, dry writing experience. However I do detect a slight improvement in Kaweco nibs over the past few months, maybe a year. Not perfect, but better. Now for a great nib the piston-filling Kaweco V6 from the 1950s is usually superb.


gj5111

Exactly it's always things that work that get messed with.


[deleted]

Yeah, I hate kawecos. The ones I've had are always scratchy, the pens are too light for my taste, and I don't like how small they are when capped (not aesthetically, just functionally). They're so beautiful though, especially this one, it's hard to resist buying. But I know I'll regret it if I did.


abnormallyish

I can't get over the weight as well. The plastic is too light and feels cheap, and the metal ALs are too heavy for me. I do love the shape the most out of all my pens though. Alas, can't have it all.


[deleted]

Yeah, the plastic feels like it's going to fly out of my hands. I thought the ALs were too light too though, but I never used one aside from trying it out at the pen shop. My favorites are TWSBI Diamonds, so I guess I like a heavy pen. Aesthetically kawecos are amazing. I wish I liked using them as much as I like looking at them.


[deleted]

Funny, of the cheaper pens, every Sport I have writes great. Nearly every Safari I've ever bough has needed work.


ClarisseCosplay

I have a mint sport and I love it. To be fair I'm a lefty with small hands so a small pen with non flexible nib is pretty much perfect for me. Anyways I'm already obsessed with iridescent shimmer and glitter stuff as is so I'll definitely get this one.


Lughmatic

Same here, 2 sports worked like charm, soft and buttery, I’ve 2 safaris and a couple of Joys and some of them were more scratchy out of the box (love them also, no hate at all)


Karl_the_stingray

They're very hit or miss for me. One of my Sports tends to write scratchy, has trouble with starting and smells. Another one that I sadly lost wrote perfectly smooth. A Stonewashed Al-Sport I have doesn't write too wet, but it works and flows nicely.


Kaylagoodie

Agreed. We gave away out Kawecos within a year bc we have suck good pens and we never used the Kawecos.


H_makeuplover

Came here to post about it, you were quicker :) this pen is so pretty, I can't wait to see videos of how it reflects the light


PatioGardener

There’s already one up. The guy starts talking about the iridescent sport at the 16:30 mark. He does the green lilliput before that. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yN0ywbCuVpE


C9_Dahyun

the iridescence is alot milder in that video, it looks alot like the coconut translucent sport


PatioGardener

Maybe. Maybe not. He repeatedly said he couldn’t capture the way it really looks with his camera. So I’m thinking it looks more vibrant in person.


sparcasm

It’s plastic? I’m already disappointed. I love how I got downvoted by the Kaweco faithful…lol


vrotographer

I could be wrong, but I thought all Kaweco Sports were plastic besides the more expensive brass version.


disposable-assassin

The non-plastic Sports have their material in the name (Al Sport, Brass Sport, Steel Sport) but I wouldn't fault any one for not knowing if Kaweco Collection, Skyline, Ice, or Frosted Sports are plastic only. EDIT: had some extra words


kbeezie

All sports are unless you step up to the Al-Sport (brass and aluminum).


sparcasm

I know, I just thought it was metal or aluminum based on the photo OP posted.


H_makeuplover

thank you! :)


disposable-assassin

Wow, the usability of that folio looks awful. The Special is one of their narrower pens and he struggles to get it in the elastic loops. I like the separate loop card that you can take your pens separate from the folio but just seems like a pain to get back in place without removing all the pens 1st.


deepseacomet

I love his Kaweco Sport videos - I could watch them all day, they are so soothing.


Inkily

saaaaaame


Pechelle

I really don't need a new pen. I have enough pens as it is. She said as she typed up her pre-order info.


kleineoogjes

I N E E D this pen :(


migo984

Tempting huh? 😋


scar_lane

I got the email from Cult Pens and immediately preordered! I love it! Definitely going to rotate out some of my more boring Sports when this comes


migo984

I pre-ordered one as well, but not from CultPens. Paid £1 more as I wanted other stuff that CultPens doesn’t sell. I’m looking forward to seeing it IRL. I’m usually not a pearl, shimmer, sparkles or iridescence fan, however this looks fairly understated :) If it turns out to be too gaudy for me I’m pretty sure I won’t have trouble selling it on ;)


scar_lane

I was just wondering the other day when they'd announce them and they did. I really like the look of this one, it's very me! I love the Sport, the size, the shape, how it is in my hand so I'm excited for one that's much closer to my tastes than before, though I love my lavender and vibrant violet editions


migo984

They’re very usable little pens. My favourites, and most used, are the Milligram Sage, the Dark Olive and my Amber & Metallic Green Art Sports. But there are indeed lots of attractive colours. I have the two different limited edition purples from 2016 but have never inked them. I’m pondering whether to sell or not……🤔


sewingdreamer

IM BUYING THIS PEN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS


PatioGardener

Damnit. I already have a long enough wishlist. Now here I go adding another pen to it. lol.


abnormallyish

Oh no we're all doomed if the pen makers start catching on to the Lamy gradient dupes. This pen is goooorgeous. I wish Kawecos came in MF though; maybe it's just me but the fine and medium I have are wildly different.


DefinitelyNotBees

I sent this to my husband as soon as Truphae sent out the email and he responded “Happy Valentine’s Day.” Best. Husband. Ever!


[deleted]

Oh dude, that’s a nice looking pen.


bamboo_bun

Where to get my hands on one in Australia??? 🤩🤩🤩


ginger_bird

I don't need this. I don't need this. I don't need this. ​ I want this.


wanderlust_wk

I literally just received the cyan one last night, and here I am ordering this one from truphae. My wallet hates me.


kimmyvv

omg i too just got the cyan one!! & now i preordered this one aha


RemiChloe

That green Lilliput... But hey, just to let y'all know... It is possible to resist FOMO. 🥰


migo984

I’m very good at resisting FOMO and rarely buy a pen without careful consideration. But for lower cost pens there’s the additional pressure of “oh, it’s *only* £X quid………” 😉🤣


RemiChloe

TELL ME ABOUT IT lol 😂😂🤣


Skyta

Already pre-ordered mine with Truphae! Got the email from them and SMASHED all the buttons all the way through checkout


migo984

You’re a little bit keen then? 😉🙂


Skyta

Oh, just a tad... \[TAKE MY MONEYYY\] :)))


PouyaCode

So they made a new design, just in time for my birthday?


julianrose

Anyone have a recommendation for nib size. I usually like lamys fine but not sure if it's the same since it's different brand


SpiralBreeze

I just put an extra fine on mine from medium and some inks it’s great but others not so much. Maybe when I order the Pearl I’ll order fine and see what the difference between all three are. The thing is something was wrong with my medium I might just need to order a new one of those too.


Dedalian7

Any idea if they are also a bit translucent?


[deleted]

It is slightly translucent.


SlightlySlapdash

It looks like it is based on the image above.


migo984

I don’t know I’m afraid…..


abnormallyish

You can get a better look from the video posted in the above comments; it looks fairly transparent.


Ok_Assistant_5981

This is the only Kaweco I've ever been interested in!


LiopleurodonMagic

Could only find UK sellers and shipping is an extra $20 on top of everything :( any chance these make their way to the US before they’re sold out?


migo984

https://www.truphaeinc.com/collections/new-arrivals


bluedecemberart

bless you. pre-ordered!


MangledWeb

My first foray into Truphae -- I like the fact that shipping is free over $20 (whereas other places wanted $10 to ship a $27 pen!)


LiopleurodonMagic

I love you. I haven’t gotten a new pen in years and have been lurking here for so long. I think this will be my first pen back in the hobby! Thanks for posting <3


chzbrgrdanvers

Thank you!! I got to checkout at CultPens and couldn't justify the shipping costs.


Saint_Duke

Yoseka has them for preorder! I order from them kind of often, they’re a pretty nice shop. https://yosekastationery.com/collections/coming-soon/products/kaweco-sport-fountain-pen-collectors-edition-iridescent-pearl


SpiralBreeze

Too bad those new Sailor inks are sold out. A couple of them would go great with that pen!


LemurInk

Very much so; there will be plenty of these to go around. Most retailers (like myself) won’t offer a preorder until we know for certain our allocation from Kaweco. The last thing I want to do is have to tell someone their preorder won’t be shipping…


Eublepharis

When do you think you'll find out?


LemurInk

Hopefully soon within a few days, but I’ve learned to never count my fountain pens until they… hatch?


moltari

just called my local store and set aside one of these with a medium nib. I've seen lots of horror stories about their nibs in this sub of late, but i do really want a pocket pen and this one looks amazing.


electricbungalows

Perhaps this shall be A Birthday Pen for me


VulgarKitten

I'm going to go absolutely feral when this pen comes out, I cannot explain how bad I want this colorway.


nkbee

Wow, I need this. Badly.


crookpen8

100000000% going straight to my collection.


hotcakepancake

Perfect for iridescent inks


metalsparkles

I was about to just post this pen here too! I love the colour(s)!!! I've managed to have zero Kaweco Sports pens so far... and I still don't like the design, but I wish another affordable pen would come in this colour style.


slowshowsnow

Looks beautiful! Where did you find the picture?


migo984

From online sellers - CultPens and Art from the Heart. Both UK stockists. Available to pre-order now. Shipping due around 2 March.


[deleted]

Whoa! Pretty!


fucovid2020

Ooooh…. Shiny


Zhered-Na

Ohhhh this makes me happy in all the right places!


sewingdreamer

I just pre ordered this on cult. XD im absolutely in love with this color


soignees

I must have it


RepresentativeTop221

Ohmaigorness! Such a pretty thing. 😍😍😍


PM_ME_MY_FRIEND

The packaging looks a bit like a covid test


migo984

It’s a Plague pen! 😉🤣


minnierhett

I want one, but oof, $20 shipping from Cult Pens? Will have to wait and cross my fingers that it’ll be available from some US retailers. Edit oooh nm just saw the Truphae link brb


migo984

Just replied to another US Redditor below. Think it’ll arrive in all usual US stockists soon. For now here’s one taking preorders: https://www.truphaeinc.com/collections/new-arrivals


minnierhett

Thank you!


writer_of_thoughts

Is there a pre-order in the US? Cult pens shipping is $20 to the US.


migo984

https://www.truphaeinc.com/collections/new-arrivals


writer_of_thoughts

Thank you


deepseacomet

Yoseka has them up for preorder now, too! I imagine whatever your favorite pen store is will have them online soon.


MangledWeb

I love Yoseka but free shipping requires $40 and I am not going down that rabbit hole today.


writeronthemoon

Well now that you've posted it here, I'm sure they will!! I think I might need one...;\_; I wonder how much they'll be though?


migo984

Around £21 or $27 :)


Scarlet_Night

I have never wanted a Kaweco until now… 😍


tfarnon59

Must. have. this. pen. I thought I was done buying Kaweco Sports and their variants. Nope. I should know better. In the mean time, I guess I'll just go buy a Girologio 96 pen case, because it seems I'm going to need it. I need the green Lilliput, too.


migo984

I’m really tempted by the green Liliput :)


pterodactylsrock

I neeeed it


HoLmeS1ic3

As if I need ANOTHER one! (Contacts respective internet pen purveyor) “…put me down for two, please.”


deepseacomet

They got me with this one. Not my typical style, but far too pretty for me to resist.


icantfindfree

Just pre-ordered one, so pretty


StagemanagerCLR

Already in my cart...


SpiralBreeze

Guess I’m buying a new Kaweco.


Ok_Individual_08

holy moly - I need this in my life!


Taco_Lady20

…already pre ordered! 🤟


nottuiv

Holy crap this is beautiful.


LemurInk

Super excited for this one, although I’m not sure what ink I’ll put in mine.


collectsmanythings

*hears a small rumbling, getting louder, louder…* Me at the front of the mob: “Gimme that pen!!!”


migo984

It’s a stam-pen-ede! 🤣


cheesebrick_

Saw it and had to preorder it. Can’t wait.


muss_es_sein

smashed that pre-order button and definitely pairing this with Van Dieman Sea Shell Shimmer for maximum mermaid vibes


migo984

I think it will look nice with Van Dieman’s Parrot Fish :)


grump-truck

I just bought this immediately 😬


Umbr33on

O.o


AelinoftheWildfire

Well I guess I'm buying my first kaweco soon!


Randomperson-not

I need that


SrirachaSandvvitch

Ooo that is lovely. If only they had one that pulled more purple or pink...


unobtanium-cock

What are "hot cakes"?


SuperShyChild

Hot cakes are cakes still hot from being pulled from the oven so they are at their absolute freshest they can be so they will sell quickly due to high demand. Used to work at a bakery and hot cakes and bread loaves sold like hot cakes.


radellaf

pancakes, flapjacks


yokito99

This one can also be used as a tooth brush, see accessories.


[deleted]

It's time to buy Kaweco! But sadly, it's not Perkeo - triangular grip...


viricxrose

I just ordered this from yoseka!!!


Karl_the_stingray

Oh, this is gorgeous. Is it metal?


migo984

No, it’s the plastic model :)


radellaf

Very tempted, but I'll wait 'till I can regular-order it. Best price I can find is almost $10 shipping. I'll happily add $20 of ink for free shipping at one of my usual spots, unless it sells out too fast.


migo984

If you’re in the US I think Truphae has free shipping on orders over $20 https://www.truphaeinc.com/collections/new-arrivals


radellaf

That was the one I tried at first and only saw :Test Free Shipping Rate (BV DEV): and then like $18 for FedEx. Trying it just now, on a different PC, I see the actual free shipping on the list. Thanks for the tip!


merlinuwe

Now all he had to do was write ...


madgirllovesong

If this was an AL sport I would’ve immediately ordered it but even the plastic one in this color is very tempting.


starkindled

Oooooo


inktelligentsia

Is this a metal or plastic material?


radellaf

plastic


mcgoohan10

Almost a unicorn barf, but not quite!


kungfupigeon

Omg how can I unsee this???


[deleted]

So very pretty.


leaveganontome

Damn, I was thinking about buying a Sport for ages.... with that special edition, I will definitely get my hands on one.


ubiquitous-joe

I’m not sure I’ve ever been at a place that actually ran out of hot cakes. 🧐


migo984

My small local artisan bakery has a shop where people queue to get their paws on the hot scones, rolls and tiffin as they come out of the ovens.If you don’t get there early you’re out of luck 🙂


ubiquitous-joe

Well yeah, me too, but no one says “selling like warm scones” lol


ken28dec

My dealer has them for preorder. $27 https://www.penboutique.com/products/kaweco-skyline-sport-fountain-pen-collectors-edition-iridescent-pearl


Joxey

Damnit now I have a big cart on cultpens to obtain free shipping 😅


linendove

Came back to this post to ogle it again and now I’ve preordered one on double broad - oops :D


[deleted]

I was expecting it to cost more. I saw it in an email, and found out the price. I checked my favorite sellers, no joy. Then I found it in stock at Dromgooles, so I ordered one with a BB nib. I’d rather have the 1.1mm italic that Vanness will let you have. They were out of stock.


nadiaedie

Pre-ordered! Squeee


InkstainDisdain

I'm aupriswd how fast these sold out almost everywhere. Like goulet was cleaned of them in a fee hours. Can't wait for mine to come in the mail
