Since 1883, there have been various systems for filling a fountain pen. Today, ink cartridges are a widespread and popular filling method. In the past, fountain pens were mainly filled using ink bottles. Beside lever fountain pens and eyedroppers, the piston mechanism has been the most important and reliable filling system. In 1937, the Kaweco Sport Fountain Pen was first presented as a piston filler under the name #612 and has been further developed in many different versions over the years.
With the Kaweco PISTON Sport, the ink is contained within the body of the pen, removing the need for ink cartridges or a converter. Thanks to its clever compact mechanism, the Kaweco PISTON Sport is one of the smallest piston filler pens available yet it still holds approx. 1ml of ink (more than a standard international cartridge). Piston fillers allow for an infinite choice of inks, as many inks are only sold in bottles, not as cartridges. The pen can be refilled quickly and easily with the smooth-running refill mechanism. A transparent ink window allows you to monitor the ink level at all times.
The launch of the Kaweco PISTON Sport in navy introduces colour to the PISTON Sport range. Kaweco's metallic piston filler gets a new, cool look. The anodised blue surface of the robust aluminium body offers exceptional durability and a premium tactile experience. Complemented by refined golden accents, the design exudes timeless elegance and sophistication. With its perfectly balanced weight and diameter, this fountain pen ensures effortless comforteven during extended writing sessions.
The Kaweco PISTON Sport is available either as a ready-to-use Starter Set, complete with a 32ml bottle of Royal Blue ink, or on its own. It is presented in a novelty round nostalgic Kaweco tin, which also features a place to stand the pen upright on your desk.
