Custom Grinds
Custom Nib Grinds by Meltem Hazarhun (@amphorastale)
Dentist (Soft Architect)
Reminiscent of the Architect nib, the Dentist nib stands out for its softer feel, providing a smoother writing experience with minimal feedback and reduced scratchiness. It's excellent for everyday writing tasks. Thin on the down stroke and wide on the side stroke.
Bilateral (Fude Italic)
This unique nib, known as a Fude Italic, is expertly shaped from a 1.1 nib. It offers versatility with its double-sided design, featuring a Fude style on one end and an Italic style on the other.
Fude Nib
Fude means 'bent' in Japanese. These are specialized nibs bent at the tip to give it a curved or rounded surface area.
Fine Italic
A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and notetaking. Fine Italic has fewer line variations and is great for small handwriting.
Medium Italic
A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and notetaking. Still a very common nib with more line variations.
Broad Italic
A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and notetaking. Almost the best line variations.
Double Broad Italic Italic
A smoother version of the formal italic. Suitable for everyday use and big handwriting. The best line variation. Compare to 1.1 standard nib IBB has more line variation and more feedback.
Oblique Medium
Allows for one that rotates their pen slightly. Standard 15 degree oblique.
Oblique Broad
Allows for one that rotates their pen slightly. Standard 15-degree oblique.
Oblique Double Broad
Allows for one that rotates their pen slightly. Standard 15-degree oblique.
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.

Customer Reviews
I really like this pen very much and I’m so grateful to Galen Leather for making this special edition available to me.
Galen Leather has amazing products and service. The gift pen sleeve they sent along is wonderful- I would like to get them for all my pens. Thank you so very much!
First is the colour attract me, then the lovely store give me a very good impression.
I love Galen leather. I haven’t gotten around to using these yet but I have no worries that they will perform. My only regret is that I didn’t buy the matching Carmine red 2 pen case to go with them. Galen Leather is one of my favorite brands, I recommend them all the time.
Omg this is so pretty in person! I have a carmine pen inked with diamine oxblood.
My only regret is not getting one of the special nib grinds. Next time!
I have developed a love for mini fountain pens 🖋️ and this Kaweco color is one I didn’t have and it is a Galen Leather exclusive so I had to add her to the 14 slot Kaweco pen case I received from my children from Galen Leather. She was #13 and the medium italic nib is awesome 😎.
A beautiful fountain pen with a great bright burgundy colour, translucent.
I selected the Oblique BB (OBB) nib.
The fountain pen was a good writer from the get go.
I am very pleased with this purchase and this store.
As a long time Kaweco Sport Fan I am more than pleased to have an OBB nib on a nice fountainpen.
I purchased the italic double broad version and it is incredible. The nib is just divine. I inked it with Diamine Cappadocia and it is just beautiful. Super smooth writer tuned perfectly and the red color of the pen is just wow, it’s all like Xmas in a pen. I love the tube it comes in and I just couldn’t be happier. It is well worth the money and the extra bit for a custom nib grind is such a bonus. Thank you Galen Leather you are always amazing.
