I love that Terrazo Kaweco, it's quite beautiful. Also, I've enjoyed your reference to The Prisoner. Wouldn't it be wonderful if that series was recreated for a new generation? Yeah, that would be lovely. Thank you for your content. I really enjoy your channel. Cheers!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Word is, Christopher Nolan is in development of a Prisoner revival. We’ll see!
Your History Lessons on Pen Brands , are absolutely , Refreshing....thank you Mr H.
Thank you so much! I appreciate that!
Although I do not own the piston filler, I carry my Kaweco Brass Sport daily. It is a durable and reliable writer. I liked that you included the history of the company.
Thanks for watching, My Friend. Always a pleasure to hear from you.
What a delightful surprise to get a video from you on a Saturday!
This is a beautiful pen and it really is a dream come true for so many of us. ❤
Thanks very much!!!
Mine is on the way! Can't wait! I have a vintage piston Kaweco, so it will be the perfect bookends to my Kaweco collection.
You have chosen… wisely!
This is a fantastic overview Hemingway! Thank you!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Lisa
Thank you! You too!
The window gives me the visconti vibe. I have 2 iridescent pearl and bronze, d piston looks perfect😊
I can see that! It’s very well engineered.
If they make a rainbow anodized one of these, I'm there. It'd make a good travel/en plein air sketching pen.
I agree! I have the bronze for sketching and chose the b nib , however it was my first Kaweco and I think I would choose a fine or medium nib if I buy another, the broad is great on A2 or larger sketching paper but very wet. A rainbow one would be so perfect! . Happy sketching!
The brass sketch up is lovely for outdoors sketching, people who reviewed it on cult pens said it's too soft for writing, guess they didn't think about German engineering, you get what they describe, a lovely dark soft lead. And it doesn't break like charcoal sticks do in my backpack! The bad reviews made me buy it as being an artist I wasn't wanting to write with a pencil and hard graphite is too pale for my style of expressionistic drawing! I recommend them both. The brass and bronze are beautiful!
Super cool pen, and I love the effort you put into the archive pics , always well done my friend.
Thanks My Friend.
I have watched this video several times and so enjoy your take on this beautiful pen. Keep up the good work! ❤
Thank you so much! You are the best!
Thank you for your reviews! I like the way you talk about these stationery things, I like your enthusiasm. Thank you and good luck!
Thank you so much!
Hello Hemingway!
Please keep doing what you DO! Loving every minute of it. Your videos are always so relaxing and enjoyable to watch!
Your articulation, clear enunciations and well- mannered speaking is a JOY for my ears!! Thank you for that! 🙂
I really appreciate your endearing and genuine personality too, and you're quite a handsome young man as well, so it's not difficult being a huge fan (and subscriber) to your channel. ❤
Much love to you and your family from East TN.
Thank you very much! You are so kind and I appreciate it. Thanks so much for watching and for being here.
Great review of this fine looking pen. It ticks all my boxes and is going to be my first Kaweco.
Oooh, great historical documents, excellent, comprehensive pen review, and a quote from The Prisoner for a deep cut! Very enjoyable.
Yes! I love when you notice my references! Thank you!
Like you I've been waiting for this pen! Now that it's here, I'm going to hold out hope for a different color. Great video!
I hear they are coming! Thanks so much! This one is pretty though, considering the basic color scheme.
Oh! I didn't know that they started making them again
Yes! Recently.
Thank you for speaking about the different weights without making it boring! 😂
Thank you! Never boring! Hopefully!
Thanks! Good choice using the ecstatic Beethoven Ninth finale as the finale to your ecstatic review. Now, if they would make this in the Terrazzo finish, I’d consider myself to be in Kaweco heaven. “Alle penschen werden brueder!”
That would be brilliant!!! Thanks for the kind words!
I just got it yesterday and I love it!
I have been waiting in your review.
You never disappoint. I’m waiting for other colors to be released.
Thank you very much! That is terrifically kind of you!
Top notch product. Superb
Thanks for providing the Kaweco’s history!
I appreciate the work that you include in presenting the various pens! What are the dimensions of the notebook used to demonstrate the writing samples?
Off topic, but only twice so far in all your videos have I heard your regional accent come through! 😁
Very good review as always.
Thanks for watching, My Friend.
Love the outro music, from my favorite symphony of all time. Truly a joyous piece of music!
Hear, hear! Thanks for watching the whole thing!
Excellent review of a wonderful pen.
Many thanks!
Good afternoon, Hemingway! Thanks for the great rundown on the piston sport! Also for comparing all the different types together. The Al-Sport has a nice weight to it also. The piston one seems to take the pen to the next level.
I don’t have an AL Sport! I wish I had when I was filming! Thanks for watching.
HJ _ thanks for this most wonderful video featuring the Kaweco Sport with the piston fill mechanism. I would like to gt one, but, ithink until Kaweco comes out with either the Brass Sport or the Steel Sport with the piston
Well, enjoy your wonderful pen!!!
Thanks Man! Stay Gold.
I love my Kaweco sport piston filler. It's a great writer and feels great in hand. I'm so glad I got it.
It's so good! Thanks for watching!
This new Kaweco fountain pen with piston mechanism is a charming and coherent continuation of the Sport series. The design is an absolute success, but it has one flaw that surprises me.
The dimensions of the new Kaweco are identical to those of the regular Sport model, with one exception: the section goes deeper into the cap. On the regular Sport model, it measures 3.7 cm, while on the Sport Piston, it measures 4.3 cm. For this reason, the fountain pen is 6 mm shorter.
This inexplicable fact reduces writing comfort, giving the strange impression that something is wrong.
That's very unfortunate...
Great to see Kaweco bring this back. I hope they consider making a brass version. Also slotted ink windows (like on MB149) would look nice 😊
Thanks for an overview Hemingway, I am planning on getting this pen. I love matte finish and how gold sits with it plus piston filler mechanism
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful. I'm so glad they've finally released a piston. I have a couple of the aluminum sports and it's the perfect weight for me.
Couldn't agree more! This is my first AL and I adore the material.
Perfectly pulchritudinous video. My favourite parts: the history, the madras & tweed, the tip about the blind cap seating in the cap ( yours is the first video I've seen that mentions that feature ). Well done!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! Happy that I was able to add some value. Thanks for watching.
It is very lovely pen, indeed. I really enjoy using my Brass Sport and, while I would love one, I can't really justify the price.
£130 for a pen that's very similar to their other ones is quite a lot. I also prefer to fill ink cartridges with syringes so I'm not that bothered about the piston aspect. I do like the integrated clip though.
I appreciate your watching. Thank you.
Lovely Pen! Love The Prisoner!
Right? Me too! Thanks for picking up on that!
If I had a smaller hand I'd of jumped on one of these or a regular Bronze or brass Sport. Nice video Hemingway! Glad you are enjoying your new pen!
Thanks for watching!
I love mine. Hope they bring out more models like that. I wish they could have included a pump action on their newish Original.
Had mine two days now and I have to say it’s gorgeous, I know the nib is the same as other sports {I think} but it’s so much more flowing than my brass sport. It is my go to EDC now and probably for the first time with an EDC I don’t feel shortchanged.
I think it's the big reservoir giving a healthy supply of ink. It is a lovely pen! congratulations!
Also, love the new background ❤❤❤
Thank you!!!!
Awesome comparison.
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks!
I love mine so much I carry it in my school tote bag! And lock the room when I step out...😂 All of the times I posted that cap I never discovered that the blind cap can come off in it! If it had I probably would have panicked!
It's an interesting features. Thanks very much for watching.
Yes.. This show is all about “Piston Sport”, but if you’d ask me to pick one from those showcased, I’d pick that ultra-gorgeous Art Sport !
It is a stunning pen! I love that one too! Don't miss this, if you haven't seen it: th-cam.com/video/eq6Yfw8zitQ/w-d-xo.html
@@HemingwayJones Yep.. I’ve seen, commented, you’ve replied to my comments !
What a fabulous review! I don't own any Kaweco pens. I have long admired your Terrazzo, but I think I like the Mineral White even more; however, if I were to buy a Kaweco, I do think I'd opt for this piston-fill.
Thanks very much and thanks for watching! It makes me happy that you’re following the Channel. You are right on. Best!
I so want this pen.....I love this pen, its pricey, and thanks for the link as that's a rather cheap price compared to other online stores
Thanks very much! Joost is a Prince!
Thank you --- I was waiting for this after the unboxing! Very nice review, and the weight comparison was useful to lots of people, I'm sure.
You didn't say it explicitly, but I got the sense that the piston filler pen holds more ink than the cartridges and converter. Is this so? As I said in a comment on the unboxing video (to which you graciously replied) and you said here, the converter can be clumsy to use. It also has a pretty limited ink supply, especially if us big-handed folks don't get it completely filled up.
A sweet looking pen for sure!
I didn't say it because I couldn't find the stats on it! But yes, in my opinion, it holds more than the cartridges. Everything holds more than their converter. The most important thing is that it is easy to use. I should have said more about this. Thanks!
I enjoyed this video. I always enjoy your videos. The pen is lovely, I pre ordered mine from Cult pens and have enjoyed it. My only issue going forward is if they do other colours or materials, it could be addictive. On a serious note I do think it was priced well.
Thanks for the review, and especially for including the visual and weight comparisons to the other Sports. I have an Art Sport in Pebble Blue, which I find beautiful, but a touch light and short. I also have a Brass Sport that I love, but I wish it had a larger capacity. I also used to have a Bronze Sport, and I may yet buy another, but I did find it a bit too heavy. The Kaweco Piston-filler is the highest priority on my to-buy list. Pistons are my favorite filling mechanism, and I've been waiting for a new Sport with one for quite a while.
You and me have nearly identical ideas on Kaweco Sports! Thanks for watching!
Bought it on day one (F nib) and I love it. However, using Fire and Ice ink, it needs some tries to start flowing every time I start using it (which is several times a day), since it seems to dry out quickly despite the screw-on cap.
Great video as always! If Kaweco releases this in a tortoise shell colorway then I’ll pick one up. If you don’t mind my asking, where did you get that awesome madras shirt?
Thanks so much for watching! Tortoise would be awesome. The shirt is from Brooks Brothers. It’s from some years back, but they probably have one. Otherwise, try J Press. Thanks!
Be seeing you! ;-)
You are truly an exceptional person, Sir. A man to rate highly. You are the first American that I have ever come across who pronounces the word aluminium correctly! You could well be the first American in history to get this right. Best wishes from London, U.K.
Thank you very much. You are entirely too kind and I appreciate it. Thank you for watching.
Very nice pen. It has no bad habits, the nib is a great performer, and the piston fill gives it the capacity lacking in a converter Sport. As soon as I find a stub nib unit listed I'm going to replace the medium nib I ordered. There's nothing wrong with the nib. It's... Fence... Grass... Ooh, greener over there...
That sounds like a great move! I love their stubs! Thanks Man!
Hi Mr Hemingway Jones. Can you show us how to grease a plastic Kaweco sport please? Im so interested in learning how to do this.
Very appealing: piston, ink window, and integrated clip. Just waiting for some color choices.
I hope they come too.
Great video. One question, don't you worry that capping and uncappping and posting and unposting, it will scratch? It happened to my Lamy Aion.
Thanks so much for watching! I don’t worry about that. Aluminium can scratch, but It’s meant to be pointed and personally, I like a bit of wear on a pen. I’ll see how this one develops.
I fully agree with your comments about this Kaweco piston filler Sport fountain pen. They seem to have done their best in terms of design and quality control. The nib is indeed way smoother and wetter than similar nibs in my other Kaweco Sports, Dia II or Perkeo pens. I might like better the nib on my recently purchased Kaweco Art Sport or even in my Kaweco Liliput, but the nib on the piston filler is definitely more smooth and wetter.
Thanks so much! Thanks for comment and for watching.
Thank you for your informative video!! Can you feel the differences of nib between normal Kaweco sport and piston (060 nib vs 190 nib) when you write down?
This Piston Filler feels very wet.
Cool Prisoner reference! I was taken to Portmeirion as a baby, and remember precisely nothing of it. 😂
For the record (and partially for the algorithm), I love my Piston Sport, and eagerly await a CT version. Freude!
I have been meaning to get over there! That is pretty amazing! Thanks for watching!
I have one too I absolutely love it. I did not get the one with the ink because they’re out by the time I got around deciding what I wanted…. nevertheless, fantastic rider I love the size . Right now it is in my purse along with my notebook (in a pen case, of course) lol
Wonderful! Excellent Choice!
Good video.
They don’t have me yet. If they come out with other colors/looks they might sway me. I think it’s a great advancement for the model, but for the price, I personally need more options.
I think they will come out with more colors. I will say, for black and gold, which is admittedly kind of boring! This looks very elegant and well rendered. The matte black adds to it. Thanks!
So ironic that the best iteration of the Kaweco Sport should take so long to emerge. I can see getting this model. I do have the Sport Bronze, which I could fill with the converter, but like better refilling cartridges for the greater capacity. I do love the bronze over brass, aluminum, or plastic. But, this pen is epitome. Acme -- and not in the Wiley Coyote sense. Wow. Thanks for this excellent review!
Oh, only about 30 years! Thanks so much for watching!
Can you tell me what ink you used? Such a nice color.
That is Diamine Sargasso Sea. Thanks!
If they start making it available in other colors I’ll get one!
I am almost certain they will.
Another mark on my wishes list 😁
It's an interesting one. Thanks!
Thanks, HJ. I don't like to post pens, so I guess it's a no go for me. But I gave the video a like.
That’s all I could ever ask for. Thank you! 🙏
There exists a sterling silver kaweco sport, but it is really really rare. I've never seen one in person. I have no problems with the Kaweco converter. I have very large hands, but the fingers are narrow (which works really well on some instruments). YRMV
I bought one. My nib/feed unit wasn't seated. It drooled ink. I had to screw in the nib unit into the grip section with o-ring. Now the nib unit won't unscrew to change nibs. Also need to retune the nib. If you're feed floods with ink something is wrong.
So sorry all that went wrong for you. I hope you got it sorted. All the best and thanks for watching.
@@HemingwayJones Oh yes. I fixed it. In fact, I was out with it while watching piping plovers on Winthrop Beach this morning. I added a seal underneath the top cap finial to better keep the nib wet. I don't trust anodized aluminum threads to make a good air tight seal. I enjoy your videos, there's a lot of production value that goes into them. Cheers, Dave
Kaweco is like eating chips,you can't just have one.
I fear that before long I'll be decorating my Kaweco Sports with washi tape.
The piston filler is the first Kaweco I've purchased. Following your analogy, it taught me I do not like chips.
“Al-you-min-e-um.” I imagine your videos preceded by studio delivery via Bentley limo back seat.
Absolutely! Always tip your driver. Thanks for watching!
@@HemingwayJones …I enjoy them immensely….despite potential misunderstanding from feeble quips.
SOOOO juicy, right? Mine is and I love it! It’s so smooth and a real beauty! I’m with you on this!
So good!
Sigh, if only they had a non-clip version (aware that it can be removed, but that leaves an unsightly gap).
Awesome looking pen, but I don’t quite understand why people are so hyped about the piston filler. It holds 1ml while a standard short cartridge holds .8ml. (Unless my info is wrong) Is that difference in ink capacity worth the substantial price increase?
It’s much more than that. It’s the romance and history of having the Kaweco return to its original integrated design. It’s the ease of filing. It’s the beautify of it all! Thanks for watching!
@@HemingwayJones Fair point. It’s a great looking pen. And I loved the history lesson. Thanks for the reply!
Bravo on the broad nib. I don’t care if it shoots rainbows out of the nib. Over priced, but people are paying the toll more Ower to kaweco. Maybe there are lots of r and d costs to recover. I am guessing in 3 years I can pick up a used model for 80. Okay I lied if it shot rainbows I’d buy for 146
What a smart looking pen, as an artist i usually take my bronze one out , but im afraid to use the eye dropper method in its bronze body , I worry the chemicals in my ink and the bronze alloy will react after reading on a subreddit that it can change the ink and stain the brass, the Kaweco converter doesn't hold enough ink for my lager sketches, I think I might have to buy this Piston filler!
That’s interesting about the Bronze. I wonder myself. Thanks so much.
Thank you for answering me! I bought the Kaweco bronze after watching your review. Also because I love bronze everything!
Also, as a fellow artist, it would be lovely to meet your wife and as I'm guessing she is also extremely cultural I think it would make a brilliant live stream. If you already did one I look forward to finding it. I love your sports jackets too! As a woman of a certain age and British it would be nice to get some fashion tips from another vintage style lady? ❤
Very nice pen, but sadly, not my budget.
Thank you for watching regardless! I really appreciate it when people watch for entertainment. That is my goal. Thank you!
@@HemingwayJones Your are welcome. I love pens, I just have to prioritize.
Very nice pen however IMHO way overpriced for what you get. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great video HJ! I’ll be honest and say though that this pen at this price just isn’t for me. Feels a little overpriced and like Kaweco is profiting off their name and the hype around this pen.
I’ll also say that I miss the charm that I usually get with your videos. Some historical context along with music and great b-roll interspersed throughout the video was missing here. I know it’s more of a pen review but even those come with some HJ flair! Great video regardless, all the best.
Are you sure you watched this video? Maybe watch it first before commenting critically. Thanks.
@@HemingwayJones yes, I did watch your video. Twice in fact, making sure I felt the same after your suggestion of watching your video. I still feel the same. I guess I was missing the charm some of your other videos have like your review of the bronze sport, or the FWP ink you reviewed more recently. I know you had historical context at the beginning and the rest was the pen review but usually there are cuts that go back and forth and I just kinda missed that.
Just my honest opinion from an audience member who has watched nearly all your videos and replays of the live shows.
It's too bloody expensive. Some people are easily conned.
I guess we all need to figure out value for ourselves. Personally, I see a lot of pens and I don’t think so. I do appreciate you watching.
I wish they made a demonstrator filler one :)
That would be fun.
Does Kaweco sell replacement ink bottles having the very same size like the one in this cylindrical tin box? I know you can refill the bottle, but if you break it...
I’m not sure. I don’t think I’ve seen one.
