Kaweco Liliput Fountain Pen | Silver Aluminium

At 9.7 cm the Kaweco Liliput fountain pen is one of the smallest in the world. This version is made of anodised aluminium in silver: the lightest pen in the range, in a colour that does not change with use.

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.

Aluminium: the lightest in the range

Aluminium weighs about a third of what brass does, and you notice it the moment you pick the pen up. If you carry it in an inside pocket or a small bag this is the version to have; if you prefer to feel some weight in the hand while writing, choose brass or copper. The surface is anodised, so the silver does not darken through air or the oils on your hands — unlike brass and copper, this pen still looks the same years from now.

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.
