Kaweco Supra Fountain Pen - Fireblue
The Kaweco Supra fountain pen is the big brother of the Liliput and a quick-change artist. A connector piece transforms this pen from a cartridge-only pocket pen to a full-sized converter-accepting pen. The fountain pen's weight and length can be adjusted to meet the individual needs of its user.
This steel fountain pen features an amazing finish - each pen is hand-torched, which gives it a unique pattern of colors ranging from blue to purple to brown. It comes with a larger #6 stainless steel nib and an ink cartridge to get you started writing right away! The cap screws on to the back to post securely, and it accepts short standard international cartridges. Standard international converter is available separately. The pen comes packaged in a tin box.

Customer Reviews
The nib is wet and smooth, and the machining on the pen is top notch. The convertible nature of the pen is unique and it definitively sticks out in my collection. The only reason for one star off is that the nib and feed were not aligned out of the box. It took about five minutes of tinkering and then it worked great.
I've only had this pen for a day now but this is a must have! It's a perfect weight and very balanced! It writes super smooth and you'll find yourself writing for hours if you're not careful! Highly recommended!
This is beautifully made and hefty pen. I love that is can be modified to a small pocket pen. I'm still waiting to review the nib. It may need a little more break in time as I'm having some flowability issues. This feels like it could take serious abuse and do just fine.
The Fireblue Supra by Kaveco is not the easiest pen to find, so I was extremely grateful to discover it for sale at Goulet for a reasonable price. They shipped it to my APO address in a well protected package. It arrived promptly and had a really nice card from the kind people at Goulet showing the personal touch they inject into their business. The pen looks magnificent and writes beautifully. I've already filled many pages with this beauty. Sincerest thanks to the good people at Goulet Pens!
This pen has such a good weight, it feels so sturdy to write with!! The blue finish on it is gorgeous and I can't stop staring at it. It has become my everyday carry, I don't know how I've lived without it
