What better way to usher in the holiday season than to welcome a giant Kaweco restock, which includes a handful of hotly anticipated new releases. First up is the 2024 Kaweco Collection AL Sport in “Olivine”, a gorgeous gold-tinged green color. Second, what we all suspected was coming, but is now a reality: a piston version of the Classic Sport. This latest release dispenses with the integrated clip and uses the lightweight plastic body of the Kaweco Classic Sport as opposed to the AL Sport (which will continue to have its own piston-fill version). Last but not least from Kaweco, we’ve brought the Perkeo into the shop, in all available standard colors as well as the 2024 Kaweco Collection special release, Infrared.

Pilot S20 Ballpoint in Brown and Red Finishes

Did I mention we received a huge shipment direct from Japan yesterday? New additions include the super smooth (and ergonomic) Pilot S20 ballpoints, as well as additional stock of the Uni Jetstream Prime, Uni Jetstream Edge, and the Zebra Sarasa Grande Vintage. All color options should be in stock once again!

Kaweco Collection AL Sport in Olivine. The AL Sport is the aluminum version of the iconic Kaweco Sport fountain pen, which offers a bit more heft and durability than the plastic version. This 2024 special release features a soft golden green color.
Kaweco Classic Sport Piston Filler Fountain Pen. Everyone expected Kaweco to do this at some point, and it’s a pleasant surprise to see this release emerge just before the holidays! The Classic Sport receives a piston upgrade, currently available in standard black without a clip included.
Kaweco AL Sport Piston Filler Fountain Pen. The initial Kaweco Sport Piston filler is still available, and will now apparently be known as the “AL Sport” Piston. Personally, I prefer this version with the integrated clip and more heft.
Kaweco Perkeo Fountain Pens. Priced at just $18, the Kaweco Perkeo was Kaweco’s answer to consumer demand for a full-size, low-cost fountain pen. Available in multiple colors, the Perkeo is lightweight and takes standard international cartridges and converters. The 2024 Kaweco Collection version, “Infrared”, is also available.
Diamine 160th Anniversary Inks. Diamine recently celebrated their 160th anniversary as a company, and in connection with that milestone released a series of inks inspired by the landmarks and locations around their factory.
Diamine Inkvent Calendars. Inkvent is about to begin! These inky takes on the traditional Advent calendar offers 24 12ml bottles of ink, followed by a 30ml bottle for the 25th day. Each day is supposed to be a surprise, so no posting spoilers!
Teranishi Guitar Fountain Pen Inks. These cult favorite inks from Japan are now available in the shop and online. The Teranishi inks feature offbeat colors unique to this particular line.
Platinum Classic Inks. The Platinum Classic series features five different inks with iron gall content, meaning that the inks appear lighter shades when wet but darken to a black-infused color as they dry. These inks are all safe for fountain pens. We’ve also recently added Pilot Chou Kuro Black and Carbon Black to our bottled ink options. Both are very dark pigmented black inks that show extremely good water resistance.
Pilot S20 Ballpoint Pens. A friend gifted me one of these pens earlier this year, and I immediately knew that I had to have these for the shop. With a smooth wood finish, the S20 accepts the Dr. Grip “Cocoon” hybrid ballpoint refill, and comes in two colors: red or brown.
Nakabayashi Paper. Customer favorite Nakabayashi Logical Prime, Logical Air, and Yu-Sari paper is restocked in nearly all formats.
