In the world of stationery Pokemon products - the ones where you gotta catch ‘em all - The Kaweco Sport reigns supreme. While they are certainly a personal favorite of mine, I’ve avoided wanting to chase them all down. That said, I wasn’t going to let this Classic Blue with Silver trim Sport pass by without adding it to the collection.
I generally go for the brighter color barrels, but this translucent navy blue is just about perfect for me, especially with the trim. The Goldspot logo is stamped nicely on one of the cap facets, and doesn’t overwhelm the pen, which can be a concern on some branded models.
Where does a model like this fall in with Kaweco’s new changes around limited/special editions? Since this is clearly a branded model, it is just that, not part of their new Collection series, which are released from Kaweco themselves. Brands have more freedom now to choose the colors they like, without having to have the barrel color name printed on the pen. It’s a good change in my book.
Quality-wise, the Kaweco Sport provides a good bang for the buck. Even the limited editions, like this one, will only set you back around $25. I’ve put several of my other models through a ringer of pockets, bags, backpacks, and plenty of drops onto the floor. It just keeps going no matter what or where. Never a crack, ding, or dent to be found. I have scratched some up beautifully though, which is part of the fun of a pocket pen. Use your pens!
The fine steel nib in this pen writes wonderfully. I tend to go for an extra fine, but I’m impressed with the line from this nib. It is neat and clean, and fine enough for me. Instead of going for a matchy matchy look with a blue black ink, I opted to go with the complimentary brightness of Kaweco Turquoise. It’s a great setup.
I don’t review every Kaweco Sport I pick up, but when I do, it’s because I have added another cool color to the collection. The Classic Blue from Goldspot is exactly that.
