Kaweco Skyline Sport Fountain Pen | Mint

The Kaweco Skyline Sport Fountain Pen is a compact fountain pen made of plastic. 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 nib and the ring 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. With the cap on, the fountain pen measures 10.5 cm and fits in an inside pocket or a case.

Post the cap on the back and the pen grows to full length and sits comfortably in the hand. That is the heart of the Sport design: small in your pocket, normal size on paper.

Skyline or Classic: the difference

The Skyline Sport is the same pen as the Classic Sport, with one difference: the nib and the ring are silver-coloured instead of gold-coloured. On a fountain pen that stands out most, because the nib is the part you look at while writing. The colours of the Skyline series are matched to it — softer and more restrained than the bright red and green of the Classic Sport.

The nib and the ink

The fountain pen comes with an M (medium) nib and one blue ink cartridge. Separate ink cartridges are available in various colours. If you prefer to fill from a bottle, a converter takes the place of the cartridge. Separate clips are available in silver, gold, bronze and black, so you can attach the pen to a notepad.

Mint

Mint is the lightest colour in the Skyline series: a soft blue with a green undertone. On a fountain pen what stands out is how quiet the whole thing stays — the silver-coloured nib and ring sit close in tone to the light blue, so the pen reads as one piece rather than the nib claiming the attention. If it is contrast between colour and silver you are after, macchiato gives you that.
