Daily pocket partner
I really love the writing experience of a fountain pen. The problem is that now that I am retired I often no longer wear clothing with an appropriate pocket or have a case to carry a traditional fountain pen. I researched for quite a while and finally found Kaweko. Their line of Sport pens were attractive because they were compact enough to fit easily in a pocket, sturdy enough to survive in that environment and had a reputation for writing well and reliably. The only problem became choice, too many of them. They have Sports in Brass, Aluminum, carbon fiber trimmed and seemingly endless variety in their plastic/resin version with prices running from $15.99 on sale to around $100.00. Being of modist resources I selected a Skyline Sport in Mint. It is a fine little pen. Of the many attractions the whole thing comes apart easily for complete cleaning (which I don't do often enough). It uses short cartridges that I refill with diamine inks. These last a long time for me as most of my use is signing receipts. I carry it everywhere in my right pants pocket with my comb. It always writes if it has any ink. It has never leaked and it has been over a year. Other reviewers can tell you about feel and balance, smoothness, ink flow, and stuff that suits their fancy but for me, my Kaweco Skyline Sport has survived the wars, never let me down and is easy to tote around. That is all I need, it may be for you too.

To get or not to get?
Fun little cutesy pen - This is a compact and lightweight fountain pen ideal for those with smaller hands or anyone seeking pocketable pen that's easy to carry. Just be sure to pair it with good-quality ink. I use kaweco cartridges with the M nib, and when paired with Moleskine ivory-colored, 100 g/m² paper, it’s the perfect combo with no feathering. Feathering occurs when ink spreads across paper fibers, giving the impression of pooling or bleeding beyond the intended lines. The build quality is decent coming standard with a pen clip would have been really nice Unfortunely you have to buy it on the side almost half the price of the pen already if you don't use pen clip that's fine to get this but if you do then skip this pen and go for the Pilot Prera which would be a upgrade.

Great pen!
The Kaweco Skyline Sport is a unique mint color. I ordered the extra fine nib and was pleasantly surprised. It delivered a consistently thin line and did not clog— a problem that can occur with some EF nibs. The screw mechanism is smooth and parts fit well together. The pen is comfortable in the hand and very light, giving it a responsive feel. Given the price, this is an excellent value. My only concern was with the shipping. The pen was sent in a padded envelope. As a result, the cardboard box that it was contained in was smashed. Luckily, the pen made it unscathed. Ideally, it should be sent in a box rather than a padded envelope.

Small, Lightweight, Smooth Writing
I had heard about Kaweco fountain pens for a long time - thanks to Amazon I got to try one. They are very small and lightweight; pen users often designate them as EDCs (every day carries) because they are easy to throw into a pocket or purse. I use mine posted. They have a simple screw on top. Because of their light weight, I can write for a long time without fatigue. I am using these with Kaweco cartridges, although there is a converter available if you want to use bottled ink. I find these to be smooth writers.
