Kaweco Skyline Sport Mechanical Pencil | 0.7 mm | Macchiato

The Kaweco Skyline Sport Mechanical Pencil is a compact pencil taking 0.7 mm leads. The octagonal design dates from 1911 and has not changed since. This version is called macchiato: a warm, soft brown, named after the coffee. 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.

The push mechanism comes from Japan and works precisely and quietly. The wide barrel means the lead breaks less easily. No sharpening needed — one press of the button and a fresh point appears.

0.7 millimetres

A 0.7 mm lead is the common size for writing and sketching: thick enough not to break, thin enough for neat handwriting. Kaweco leads come in HB and can be ordered separately.

If you want a thicker line for sketching and drawing, there is the 3.2 mm clutch pencil. That one works differently: the lead is held by jaws rather than a push mechanism, and you sharpen it to a point yourself.

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.

Macchiato

A pencil is the tool of the first draft: sketches, notes, things still allowed to change. Macchiato suits that — a warm, light brown is less formal than classic black, and reads more like a sketchbook than a meeting room. The colour runs through the whole Skyline series, so pencil and pen can be matched.
