Kaweco Liliput Fountain Pen | Stainless Steel

At 9.7 cm the Kaweco Liliput fountain pen is one of the smallest in the world. This version is made of stainless steel: the only material in the range that stays exactly as you buy it, with no patina and no change of colour.

Small in your pocket, full size in your hand

With the cap on, the Liliput measures 9.7 cm and is under a centimetre thick, so it fits in a breast pocket, a coin pocket or the pen loop of a notebook. Without the cap it is 8.7 cm — too short to write with comfortably. Screw the cap onto the back and it grows to 12.5 cm, sitting in the hand like an ordinary fountain pen. That screw system is the idea behind the Liliput: small while you carry it, full size the moment you use it.

The Liliput is Kaweco's most restrained design. No clip, no ridges, just a straight cylinder. If you do want to fasten it to a pocket or a notepad, there is a separate clip that slides under the cap.

Stainless steel stays as it is

Brass and copper darken over time; stainless steel does not. The matt silver finish is unaffected by air or by the oils on your hands, and the material is harder than aluminium, so scratches show less. In weight this version sits between the aluminium pens and those in brass and copper: heavy enough to write steadily, light enough to forget in a pocket.

The nib

The nib is stainless steel and made in Germany. This pen is supplied with a Medium nib, the usual choice for ordinary handwriting. It takes standard ink cartridges, or a mini converter if you would rather fill from a bottle.
