Kaweco AL Sport Fountain Pen - Raw
The Kaweco AL Sport is a pocket-sized fountain pen that when posted transforms into a full-sized pen that easily fits in your hand. The raw aluminum will pick up its own unique patina and pattern of scuffs and scratches over time as you use and transport the pen, making this version of the AL Sport truly unique to you. It comes with a stainless steel nib and an ink cartridge to get you started writing right away! It accepts short standard international cartridges. Kaweco converter and optional clip sold separately.
Note: This pen comes with an ink cartridge stored in the body. If it doesn’t fall right out, you can get it loose by giving the body a few solid taps on a hard surface.
