Description This industrial raw AL Sport pen is made of polished raw aluminium and is compact when capped (10.7cm long) but very comfortable when posted (13.2cm long). Thus the Kaweco slogan, “Small in the pocket, great in the hand”. The raw aluminium ages and takes on a patina of fine scratches and mild corrosion that develops into its own unique signature as it ages. Made in Germany, this pen features a screw-on cap for extra security and a metal Kaweco logo on the cap tip. The smooth ink glides across the paper, and won’t dry out even if the pen is left uncapped. As a gift set it comes with the iconic Kaweco metal pen tin and a Kaweco refill to get you started. Optional Pen Clip sold separately. Note: The metal body of this pen can be corroded by prolonged contact with ink. Be sure to clean off any ink that gets onto its surface, and do not use it as an eyedropper pen. AL Sport As early as 1905 Kaweco had already manufactured the first writing instruments made out of metal. Products which were made out of silver or gold plated brass in the past, are made from aluminium today. High-quality aluminium is processed by CNC-technique and other processes in order to obtain a satin finish and hardened surface. The “Stonewashed” version already has a used look. The “Raw” model develops a patina especially quick, because the aluminium is untreated while the limited edition rose gold version is anodised for hard wear and tear. Kaweco Details The quality of good things is an experience that goes well beyond a single sense. Kaweco passion goes just as deep for the smallest of details as it does for the huge difference between their writing instruments and cheap, mass-made products. Kaweco designs stem from another era when tradition and craftsmanship were still synonymous and some clocks seemed to go a little slower. We took the fascination Kaweco pens had back in the days and translated these values to today’s refined and increasingly demanding times. Creating products that keep the given promise of standing up to being much loved and seasoned companions every single day of the journey, time and time again. Kaweco Manufacturing Good things take time and we take the long list of steps and tasks necessary to build your next writing instrument more than just seriously. The manufacturing process and quality control still lay in Kaweco’s very own, skilled hands, right there in Nuremberg, Germany. A city rich with tradition and appreciation for writing instruments, renowned well beyond its infamous walls. Local tradition and technology from afar meet in every single one of our products: Like the premium mechanics from PRECO/Iwasaki Japan for example. Kaweco Functional Design To ensure a lasting experience Kaweco operate within the smallest margins of tolerance – even though they offer customization options on every single pen. Whether you opt for a Kaweco classic octa-edge format or a circular design, pencil, roller pen or one of their many nib widths and strengths – they’ll create the perfect instrument for your demands. Kaweco work is a work well done when best-in-class quality, tangible character, and timeless design have gone from our hands to yours.
