Around 1550, brass was purposefully cast for the first time and thus offered various applications. However, with the beginning of the industrial age, writing instruments were mainly made of ebonite. At the same time, brass was only used for decorative parts such as clips and decorative rings. Later, ink cartridges made it possible to use brass for writing instruments themselves, as the ink din't have to come into contact with the metal surface.
Writing instruments of the Kaweco Brass Sport series develop a natural and unique patina over time. It is a surface change that occurs due to user-related, chemical or corrosive influences. As a result of this, every Kaweco Brass Sport becomes an unique item over time. The writing instrument already presses lightly onto the paper by itself due to its high weight. This feature makes it possible for you to write longer and more comfortably.
Five different nib sizes are available, from extra fine to extra broad. While the extra fine nib (EF) is suitable for small and delicate handwritings, the extra broad (BB) nib is often used for large, dramatic signatures. For beginners, we recommend the nib size medium (M). All nibs are produced in Germany. If you'd like a different size, call us at (614) 424-6617 and we'll be happy to swap it out for you.
- Stainless steel nib with an iridium tip
