It's a beautiful pen, but I will note that the materials don't really seem "premium" to me-- the plastic already got scratched up a bit in the first week of use. It already looks more beat-up than my Lamy Safari, which I've had for several years and still looks new.

I also had to pretty much immediately buy a fine replacement nib for this. The broad nib only seemed to actually write broadly on cheap, absorbent copy paper. It was finicky and unsatisfying to use-- though the nib was smooth, it was so smooth that the ink often had trouble getting a "grip" on the paper. For me, the fine replacement nib was a much better fit for this pen-- a WAY better writing experience and a smarter fit for the pen's extremely limited ink capacity (especially since the only converter that fits this pen is absolutely tiny).

Iridescent Pearl is a striking limited edition. The color alone is reason enough to purchase this beautiful pen!!

This was the first broad nib from Kaweco I purchased. I typically buy extra fine or fine nibs. Honestly, I was a bit underwhelmed by the nib's performance. It seems to act a bit more than I would expect. Tends to be a dryer writer with an uneven flow. If it continues to act up, I may have to get a replacement nib for this pen.

I love the colour! I paired it with Ferris Wheel Press’ Tears of Sapphire because of the pinkish sheen and the shimmer, which felt like it fit with the iridescence of the pen.

The plastic is kind of translucent, though, so the guts of the pen do appear like a ghost in a family photo but it is still pleasant to view. I have small hands so the body is not terribly small for me; however, I do need the cap posted for the best hand fit.

The reason why it is four stars is because of the writing experience. Compared to my Sailor or even the two platinum preppies (because the sailor might be an unfair comparison) I have, the nib skips a lot. Maybe it’s the ink I use but it doesn’t provide a consistently smooth write, especially with looping letters like ‘o’ or ‘a’, so I have to go back over the lines again. Writing with it is a bit tedious because of the backtracking.

Also, ink has been leaking a little into the cap.

I feel like it is an okay pen overall.

I like the Kaweco Sport Fountain Pen a lot. This is my third one, and definitely not my last. I personally find them comfortable and easy to write with, and this latest one is no exception. I chose a broad nib to best show off some of my "flashier" inks (the ones with glitter, or underlying sheen of color). However, it works well plain inks as well. It does write "wet", but this is a broad tip, so I expect that and it has not been a problem. I have not experienced anything like leakage, for example, and I have thrown this in my purse. The reason this pen did not get a 5 star rating is the color of the pen itself. When I saw that Kaweco had an iridescent pearl pen, I ordered it as soon as my limited budget allowed. However, it isn't really that iridescent--you don't get dramatic shifts of color as you move the pen about in the light. It isn't even particularly shiny and I like shiny. However, because it was still a Kaweco, I decided to keep it anyway and I do use it from time to time. I can recommend the Kaweco Collection Sport Fountain pen--though not necessarily the color. Those looking for a truly iridescent pen should keep looking--especially if they can afford a higher priced pen.

Got this in broad and love it. One thing I wanted to point out with this pen and the frosted yellow one is, the first time I took them out the package and opened them up they were a little squeaky when unscrewing the cap and nib section. The sound was the equivalent to nails on a chalkboard for me so I put a tiny amount of silicone grease on the threads and problem solved.

I really like this pen. Good and bad is that it's pretty light. Sometimes I prefer a bit of a heavier pen. I also really like the Kaweco nib, but I do find they sometimes have a hard time with some inks.
