Kaweco Skyline Sport Clutch Pencil | 3.2 mm | Mint

The Kaweco Skyline Sport Clutch Pencil is a compact pencil taking a 3.2 mm lead. The octagonal design dates from 1911 and has not changed since. This version is called mint: a soft, light blue with a green undertone. The tip and the push button are silver-coloured.

Small enough to carry everywhere

Kaweco's Sport series is built around writing instruments you take with you. The name Sport dates from 1911 and was chosen because the pen was designed for sportsmen, military officers and active people. At 10.5 cm long, this pencil fits in an inside pocket, a case, or onto a notebook with a pen clip.

3.2 millimetres for sketching and drawing

Where an ordinary mechanical pencil gives one fixed line width, this one does not. The 3.2 mm lead is 5B and therefore soft: hold the pencil upright and you get a narrow line; tilt it and press harder and the line turns broad and dark. That lets you sketch areas and shadows without changing pencils.

A press of the button drops the lead; you sharpen it with a 3.2 mm sharpener. Spare leads are available separately.

The 0.7 mm mechanical pencil is the better choice if what you want is a fixed, thin line to write with.

Skyline or Classic: the difference

The Skyline Sport is the same pencil as the Classic Sport, with one difference: the tip and the push button are silver-coloured instead of gold-coloured. That gives the pencil a cooler, quieter look. The colours of the Skyline series are matched to it — softer and more restrained than the bright red and green of the Classic Sport.

Mint

A 5B lead gives dark, soft lines — which also means graphite dust on your fingers and on the pencil. Mint is light enough to show it, and on a drawing pencil that reads as signs of use rather than stains, much like a sketchbook you have actually worked in. If you would rather have a colour where that shows less, choose macchiato.
