1. As of this moment Yoseka has the RED version available in , along with a clip and a specific converter. 2. I could almost have designed this pen, it fits so perfectly into my slim, even, metal, flush-posting quality-nibbed wheelhouse. The one change I would make would be to SHORTEN or even eliminate the section, so no one has to grip it on the threads. I doubt many folks will miss its tinitude. 3. I have a range of pens of this diameter. I store them in a Caran D'Ache PENCIL case, with little elastic loops, which holds them securely. 4. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I will pay its high price, cause then I will have it. 5. To other lovers of this sort of pen, I can recommend the Faber-Castell Neo Slim, the Lamy CP1, the TiLiner, and the Muji.
Yes it’s a nice pen that should come with a converter. I use Online Kombi long cartridges from Office Works. Kaweco converters tend to be too small anyway like those in the Pilot Vanishing Points. Good to see it still comes in a tin. Kaweco would sell a lot more if they dropped the price to around $160-$165. Only rusted on collectors will pay $179.
But why are there only three colorways? There's this matte black one, a red one (what I call the "Iron Man"), and a brass one. Why not a brushed stainless steel one, aluminum or other metal dipped/coated in enamel of various colors, etc.?
@@ichirofakename hopefully the cap seal is better than on the Neo Slim. My first one dried out almost immediately and the replacement is a bit better, but not super great either.
@@UrbanHafner Bad luck for you. I happen to have been using a Neo Slim on and off for the last couple weeks - consistently nice and juicy. Good luck for me.
A bit late to the show, but another thing I've found about German culture is they feel like they charge you for everything. I remember getting fries at McDonalds and had to pay for each ketchup packet (many years ago. Maybe it's changed?) No free refills, nice paper notebooks for fountain pens, they charge you for every little thing etc. Things that are very inexpensive, American companies throw it in for 'free' to add value. German companies feel like they need to make money off every little bit.
It’s available in extra-fine, fine, medium, and broad, and some retailers sell the nibs separately and they are super easy to replace. The whole nib unit just screws out. It’s the Kaweco 060 Nib.
Everyone: 💤
Me at 1am: watching pen review😂

I have this exact pen and LOVE it.

Great review. This Kaweco is just to slim, my hands cramp when using such slim pens.
But why are there only three colorways? There's this matte black one, a red one (what I call the "Iron Man"), and a brass one. Why not a brushed stainless steel one, aluminum or other metal dipped/coated in enamel of various colors, etc.?
It reminds me of the Faber-Castell Neo Slim and the Lamy CP1.
I have both those pens and now want this one. I know what I like.

anyone know if it is possible to change the nib from F to M?
