Recently when browsing on the fountain pen Reddit community I stumbled upon a post where people were sharing their most expensive fountain pen failures, and their cheapest successes.

One thing that I’ve really wanted to add to my fountain pen collection for a while is a beautiful handmade pen, and so I’d been keeping my eyes peeled online for some good UK based pen makers (I didn’t want to deal with international shipping and customs charges on such an expensive item!).

My entry into the fountain pen world was the Kaweco Sport in Light Lavender, and I’ve since collected many more Sports. They are such cute little pens, and so easy to carry around with you, so I hadn’t really thought too much about trying any of the other models of Kaweco fountain pens. However, on… Read more
