Everyone knows how much I love my Kaweco Skyline Fountain Pen in Mint so you can imagine how tickled I was to see the 3.2mm clutch pencil in the same gorgeous mint color. I’ve got a matched set! This is my first experience with a large diameter graphite pencil and it was a pleasant surprise.…

Ka-Week-O! Review: Kaweco AL-Sport RAW
The Kaweco AL-Sport in Raw is the same size and shape as the other Sport models but with a raw aluminum body with a high gloss finish. Its gorgeous in the hand. When compared with the brushed aluminum finish on Liliput, its obvious how much more polished the RAW AL-Sport is. Shiny! The RAW finish…
Ka-week-o! Review: Kaweco Dia 2 Fountain Pen M Nib
