Masterpiece of Efficiency in Design
I had my eye on the Liliput for a while. I have a brass Kaweco Sport which is the main pen I take along with me daily. But I wanted something more discrete to tuck away in a suit or dress shirt pocket for work. The antimicrobial brass was also a selling point. I am so impressed by this little pen. Upon arrival, I was amused by how much smaller it was than I expected. But it transforms into a full-size pen when the cap is posted. I have included photos of this pen next to the Kaweco Sport for comparison. The international standard sized cartridge really tucks neatly into the barrel so there is no wasted space. This pen feels quite light in my hand, though it is solidly constructed. It is surprisingly comfortable to write with, even for long periods. I am able to easily swap the nibs using Kaweco’s 060 nibs, also compatible with the Kaweco Sport. The nibs wrote smoothly, even using fine or extra fine points. In my experience Kaweco inks can write a bit dry and are prone to hard starts when using a fine or extra fine nib. Instead, I use wetter inks from Noodler’s (using the syringe method to replenish spent International standard ink cartridges) in my Kawecos. Noodler’s inks are the perfect compliment to Kaweco’s fine or extra fine nibs. They really make writing with my Liliput smooth and consistent with no false starts or skipping. After only a few days, my Liliput is starting to build a handsome patina. The roundness of the pen makes it exceptionally prone to rolling off a desk, but the clip (easily available separately) fixes that. It also looks great on the pen. I consider the clip to be a must-have with the Liliput if you plan on taking the pen along with you regularly — and I suspect you’ll want to.

Interesting design - lovely writer
First, the Liliput is tiny and probably even smaller than you are imagining. It's somewhere around the size of a golf pencil and a cigarette in size. It's a similar size to the 1920s Wahl ring top metal pens (it's actually even shorter if compared when posted). If you don't like writing with small pens, this one is not for you. The body and cap are all metal and they are very well machined. The body has subtle threads on the back so the cap can be posted on the threads, making the pen a comfortable length. It comes with a cartridge and none of my mini standard international converters fit in it. It does not come with a clip. The fine is very fine. More like an extra fine or a Japanese fine. The nib is moderately smooth, especially for being such a fine point. It's closer to a Pilot than a Pelikan feel. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. It feels unique in my collection and all around well-designed for what it is meant to be.

Wunderbarer, kleiner Füller
Der Füller ist sehr klein, wenn er geschlossen ist und damit ein wunderbarer ständiger Begleiter! Das Alluminium zerkratzt nicht und die qualität der Spitze ist sehr gut. Ich schreibe so viel mit ihm, dass ich ständig keine Patronen mehr habe (-: Wenn der "Deckel" an das Ende geschraubt wird, ist der Füller größer und passt gut in eine (kleine) Hand. Für große Hände würde ich diesen Füller nicht empfehlen, da der nötig Halt zum schreiben dann feht. Rundum, ein super Produkt, denn wer würde von einem Füller mit dem Beinamen "Lilliput" physische Größe erwarten?

Perfect Pen.
I love this pen and have absolutely no complaints. Although I think it is better suited for those without HUGE hands, when posted its still a decent length. It writes amazingly, the slowly developing patina is a beautiful, unique touch to get used to if you're new to brass like myself. It's light but still has enough weight to it when writing. It's small size makes it the perfect travel pen. If you're on the fence about it... Just get it.
