Description

Check out this stunning Galen Leather exclusive: the Kaweco Sport Fountain Pen. It's a beautiful demonstrator pen that has a tinted, sapphire blue resin body and cap that's not only functional but aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

This has come about as a creative collaboration with Kaweco who are well known for their focus on beautiful utility and quality craftsmanship. And this is exactly what this limited edition Galen + Kaweco Fountain Pen is centered on. 

Following their iconic original 1935 octagonal design, this fountain pen can be described as 'small in the pocket, large in the hand.' The oversized cap arrangement creates a small closed pen but a full-length open pen. Closed, the Kaweco Fountain Pen is just 105mm long. Open, it is 133mm long.

Made from tough but exceptionally lightweight ABS Makrolon plastic, the Kaweco fountain pen features the Galen Leather and Kaweco logo in gold-colored metal on either end of the cap. The polished gold-plated stainless-steel nib is manufactured by Bock of Heidelberg. Kaweco fountain pens are refilled with standard international ink cartridges, such as those made by J Herbin or Kaweco. Available in various nib grades and colors. It's the kind of pen that pairs beautifully with one of our fountain pen friendly leather diaries or fountain pen cases.

so beautiful!

The collaboration fountain pen this time was also wonderful.
I'm looking forward to reselling the cognac color fountain pen from a few years ago.
I think a lot of people want that.
Please consider it.

Very nice pen

I have a couple of Kaweco pens but was intrigued by the variety of nibs offered on this particular one. I chose the architect nib and I absolutely love writing with it. I may end up buying another pen with an italic nib since I don't have one in my collection.

Nice pen!

I don't usually buy a fountain pen online because i don't believe the quality control in any fountain pen companies. But this time, i had to give a shot and it worked out well fortunately. The architect nib works well. Even though the color of barrel is not clear compared to cap, overall, I am satisfied with this purchase.

Por mucho mi mejor Kaweko

Siempre he sido fan de las plumas Kaweko, pero nunca había conseguido una con la puntilla Fude, la cual es versátil, además el color azul esta pluma es extremadamente bello. Te la recomiendo ampliamente.

Love love love this architect nib!

I was thrilled to see you had an architect nib -- I bought this Kaweco Sport right away and I *love* it. The writing edge is forgiving, something hard to find on architect nibs. I am having no drying issues during long writing sessions (something that often happens with Kaweco nibs). The nib is smooth and wet and this is now one of my favorite pens. I also love the custom, solid little box with the Galen branding on it. Everything from your store is fabulous and this is no exception. Thank you!

Beautiful! Very interesting custom nib!

This special edition Kaweco Sport is beautiful! I already have a good number of Kaweco Sport models in different colors and also special edition resins, but what attracted me in this edition was the opportunity to have a special edition nib as well! The Architect nib I chose is very special and unusual, and is very comfortable for writing and drawing!
I am glad that I ordered this one when I did, because a few hours later, they were all gone and out of stock!

Kaweco Sport Sapphire

I have a few different fountain pens including another Kaweco Sport. I got this with the Italian fine nib. This quickly became my go to, everyday pen. This is my favorite pen, fountain or otherwise!
