Nice enough pen, but surely overpriced for an old design which they keep tarting up with new finishes, just like the Lamy Safari. I would pay the asking price if it was a machined solid barrel rather than spun sheet metal. BTW, there are Kaweco squeeze and plunger converters available which fit all the sport style models. Again, they should be throwing in a couple of these inclusive in the price, and a bottle of ink!

squawkerAlthough I cannot find anything about how this is made from the manufacturer's site, I did find a few retailers claiming that this pen was machined out of a solid block. Can you tell me how you know this is made from spun sheet metal?

squawkerI don't have this pen, but have several of these in brass.
I actually don't see how they can form this shape, with flat faces and it's solidity, by using sheet metal. At least the brass ones seem like they're made from a solid billet of metal.
I would suspect the stainless is the same but, again, I don't have one in hand to know for sure.

squawkerYes. For the small size, it feels like you're paying a premium for the brand. I have a sport in plastic that I like, but never quite use as much as other pens. As much as I want to get a machined metal pen of some kind to age, Kaweco never quite does it for me anyway.
