So, the new Skyline Sport range is causing quite a stir with its silver nib and furniture, alongside a bunch of brand new, gorgeous colourways. I settled on Mint, with a matching ballpoint pen and mechanical pencil, but it was a tough decision, and not one I took lightly! However, I am happy with my decision, as it is a really delightful colour \u2013 modern and very spring\/summer.<\/p>\n<p>I was already a fan of the classic Sport shape, first established back in 1935.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-6-748x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Kaweco Skyline Sport fountain pen\" width=\"650\" height=\"890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-6-748x1024.jpg 748w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-6-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-6-768x1051.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-6-110x150.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-6.jpg 1496w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At just 105mm long when capped, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/product\/kaweco-skyline-sport-fountain-pen\/12080\/\">Kaweco Skyline Sport fountain pen<\/a> is small, yet with the cap posted, it transforms into a full-length pen I could comfortably use for hours (at 133mm). The barrel, at its widest, is 14mm but the area you grip for writing is smaller \u2013 the same size as a \u2018regular\u2019 fountain pen. Posting the cap makes the pen looks top heavy, but it isn&#8217;t as the material it is made from is so lightweight. In fact, the pen (without an ink cartridge) weighs only 9g. The cap is twist on\/off.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-3215\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-7-700x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Kaweco Skyline Sport fountain pen in hand\" width=\"650\" height=\"951\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-7-700x1024.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-7-205x300.jpg 205w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-7-768x1124.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-7-102x150.jpg 102w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fountain-7.jpg 1399w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Writing with this pen is a joy!

You may notice there is no clip on this pen\u00a0\u2013 that is no problem for me, as I enjoy its slick appearance and don&#8217;t put pens in my pocket, but if that is something you would miss, you can purchase a clip for it separately.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3217\" style=\"width: 660px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3217\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3217\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaweco-all-pens-848x1024.jpg\" alt=\"The Kaweco Skyline Sport fountain pen, ballpoint pen &amp; mechanical pencil\" width=\"650\" height=\"785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaweco-all-pens-848x1024.jpg 848w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaweco-all-pens-248x300.jpg 248w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaweco-all-pens-768x928.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaweco-all-pens-124x150.jpg 124w, https:\/\/www.thepencompany.live\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/kaweco-all-pens.jpg 1695w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-3217\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Kaweco Skyline Sport fountain pen, ballpoint pen &amp; mechanical pencil<\/p><\/div>\n<p>As with the classic Sport fountain pens, this is an affordable, high quality plastic pen which is perfect for throwing in a pocket or bag for on-the-go notes.
