The fine folks over at Pen Chalet gave me the opportunity to try the new Monteverde Poquito fountain pen (Retail price $30; from Pen Chalet, $27). Its a classic looking, teeny tiny pocket pen for sure. This is the first Monteverde pen I’ve tried so I was quite excited for the chance to take my first…

Kaweco Art Sport Amber Fine Nib
You may recognize this pen from Brad’s review posted a couple months ago. It might look almost identical because it is the same pen. Brad kindly sent it over to me after I whined mercilessly about not getting any love from Kaweco. Then he sent me a replacement nib for it so that I could…

Both pens are translucent plastic bodies with solid black cap end and piston-filler end. These are piston fillers only and do not accept cartridges. My impression…
Review: Kaweco Liliput EF
I cannot tell you how long I’ve wanted this pen. Its no secret I’m a big fan of the Kaweco line in general. While I am not generally inclined to be interested in “girlie” tools I like the smaller scale of the Kaweco line for comfort and portability so when I saw the aluminum finish…
