{"product_id":"kaweco-skyline-sport-fountain-pen-pink","title":"Kaweco Pink Skyline Sport Fountain Pen","description":"\u003cp\u003eKaweco have been making pens in Germany since 1883, and the Sport, first designed in 1911, is the model the company is still best known for. The Skyline Sport carries the same octagonal cap and oversized proportions as the Classic Sport, finished with silver accents where the Classic carries gold: a chrome-plated steel nib, embossed lettering and a silver metal logo set into the top of the cap. Pink has just returned to the core range after several years away, and it is a saturated, confident colour that sits closer to hot pink than to a pastel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is ABS injection-moulded plastic, which is what keeps the pen light enough to forget about in a pocket. Closed it measures 10.5 cm. The cap unscrews and mounts on the end of the barrel, at which point the pen grows to a standard 13 cm, and that is where the Kaweco slogan comes from: small in the pocket, large in the hand. The flats of the octagonal cap also stop the pen rolling off a desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach pen is hand assembled in Germany, and the nib is made there as well, in five widths from extra fine to double broad. We stock the fine, which suits most everyday handwriting and is the sensible width to begin on. Manufactured within the EU, where labour law sets minimum standards for pay, working conditions, and holiday entitlement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInk and Accessories for the Kaweco Sport\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen arrives in a Kaweco gift carton with one standard international ink cartridge travelling loose inside the barrel, which occasionally needs a tap against something firm to shake free. After that it takes any short standard international cartridge, including our \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/kaweco-ink-cartridges-6-pack\"\u003esix-pack of Kaweco cartridges\u003c\/a\u003e and the \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/kaweco-ink-cartridges-color-mix-10-pack\"\u003eten-pack colour mix\u003c\/a\u003e. For bottled ink, the \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/kaweco-mini-converter-reusable-cartridge\"\u003eKaweco mini converter\u003c\/a\u003e folds down to fit the short barrel and works with our \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/kaweco-ink-glass-50ml\"\u003e50ml ink bottle\u003c\/a\u003e. The Sport ships without a clip, and the \u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/kaweco-sport-nostalgie-octagonal-clip-gold-plated\"\u003eNostalgie clip\u003c\/a\u003e slides straight on. We would take it in silver here, since that is what the Skyline trim is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Care for Your Fountain Pen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fountain pen writes best when it is used regularly, because ink left standing in the feed thickens as the water in it evaporates and the flow slows. If the pen is going to sit unused for more than a couple of weeks, take the cartridge out, flush the nib and grip section under cool running water, and stand them nib-down on a folded cloth to dry. Avoid hot water, which can loosen the feed where it seats into the section. Screw the cap fully home before the pen goes into a bag, since the thread seals the nib against the air and is the reason the Sport travels as well as it does. When moving from one ink colour to another, rinse until the water runs clear, or the previous colour will tint the first few lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"product--properties-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"product--properties-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-label is--bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWriting system:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003efountain pen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"product--properties-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-label is--bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNib:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003efine (F), chrome-plated stainless steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"product--properties-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-label is--bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABS injection-moulded plastic, silver accents\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"product--properties-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-label is--bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength closed:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"product--properties-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-label is--bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLength posted:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e13 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"product--properties-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-label is--bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFilling:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshort standard international cartridge or Kaweco mini converter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"product--properties-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-label is--bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSupplied with:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eone ink cartridge, in a Kaweco gift carton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"product--properties-row\"\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-label is--bold\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMade in:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"product--properties-value\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGermany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Kaweco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57468462006652,"sku":"10000926","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0377\/6679\/1301\/files\/Kaweco-Skyline-Pink-FP-10000926-Web.png?v=1789741758","url":"https:\/\/kelvinrooms.shop\/en-us\/products\/kaweco-skyline-sport-fountain-pen-pink","provider":"Kelvin Apothecary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
