The Perkeo is an entry-level full-sized pen from Kaweco. The faceted body, grip, and cap are made of a clear resin. The triangular grip helps keep your fingers in the proper grip position. It comes complete with a silver stainless steel nib.

It accepts standard international ink cartridges, or you can also purchase a standard international converter separately. An optional clip is also available separately.

Note: This pen comes with a standard international short cartridge inside the body and a cartridge spacer already installed.

Love this pen. I needs to draw quite bit on some sketch paper to get the nib where I want it for journaling, but it's perfect now.

Great pens, especially because the nibs are steel.Also, the Kaweco pens are a great value, and good pensfor someone that is just starting with a fountain pen.

Kaweco perkeo

Good, grip of section is great, 'child safe' barrel is a bother As it needed to be stopped off (sealed with hot glue) for Eyedropper filler use.

This pen is a winner.

When I purchased the Perkeo, I got both the fine and the medium (Jungle Green for the fine, and All Clear for the medium). I'll be referencing between them a little, but I'll focus on the All Clear for the most part. I haven't seen many demonstrator pens that also feature feeds that ALSO are clear! It's so much fun being able to see the ink color you are using in your pen from the converter, through the grip section in the feed, and the whole way to the nib. The build of the pen is phenomenal. It's made of a solid resin, and the simplicity of it is quite nice. Nice lines and rounding in all the right areas. The triangular grip section is rounded, and not super forced like a LAMY Safari. Quite comfortable to hold, and posted it doesn't feel unbalanced. Cap liner keeps the pens pretty juicy for when you need to use them, but I haven't tested for how long. When taking the barrel section off of the grip section of the pen, it has a little clunk resistance that helps hold it in place and let's you know that everything is locked and loaded if you will.Only thing I had an issue with was the nib feeling a bit scratchy on the medium All Clear in one direction. It was probably a tine alignment issue, but I hadn't gotten it under a loupe to check it out. The fine Jungle Green had no issues with scratchiness whatsoever. So, take that as you will.Highly recommend you check this fountain pen out as a starter pen or otherwise. It's quite remarkable.

FAQs about Fountain Pens

How do I fill a fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the pen's filling mechanism, which you can find in the Technical Specs section above. 

Here's a quick definition of the most common filling mechanisms:

  • Cartridge - A small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write! Check out our quick guide here.
  • Converter - A detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter. Here's a video for how to fill a cartridge/converter pen using a LAMY pen as an example.
  • Eyedropper - A pen that utilizes the entire barrel as a reservoir for ink. Ink is directly filled into the barrel, allowing for a high ink capacity. Here's a video on how to do it!
  • Piston - A type of filling system that uses a retracting plunger inside a sealed tube to draw ink into a pen. They are typically either twist or push-operated. These pens cannot accept cartridges or a converter, and only fill from bottled ink.
  • Vacuum - A push-style piston that uses pressure to fill the large pen body with ink. They seal the ink chamber when closed, making it ideal for flying without risk of leaking. Check out our video on how to use a vac filler here.

Check out more info on these filling mechanisms including a video on how to fill each one on our blog.

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

How often do I need to clean my fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. 

Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

My pen won’t write! What do I do? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

First things first... make sure you have ink in the pen! Be sure that the ink cartridge or converter is seated properly in the pen, and that you aren't out of ink.

We always recommend you give your pen a good cleaning first, using our Goulet Pen Flush, or a drop of dish soap in some water. New pens often have some machining oil residue left in the feed, so a good cleaning often does the trick first.

If that still doesn't work, try priming the feed. This consists of either dipping your pen nib and feed in ink, or forcing ink from the converter down into the feed. 

If it’s still not working after that, please reach out to us so we can help! 

What's your return policy? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

You can submit a return request within 30 days of your order date. You can read all our Return Policies here.

To initiate a return, please submit a request at the Return Portal. Our Customer Care team might reach out to you for more information.

Please note we are unable to accept a return of any Namiki or Sailor Bespoke fountain pen for any reason once it has been used with ink. Please thoroughly inspect and dry test the pen before use.
