Kaweco Ballpoint Pen Sport Black

The Kaweco Sport ballpoint in Black is a compact pocket companion in 1930s style – distinctive octagonal shape, deep black plastic body, just 13 cm long when closed. The cap system is wonderfully straightforward: remove the cap, attach it to the end, and the pen sits at a comfortable writing length in your hand. It uses a short D1 refill – a standardised format with replacement refills available in various line widths and colours.

Features

• Compact cap design: When closed, the Sport ballpoint fits into any trouser pocket or notebook sleeve. The attached cap extends it to a full writing length – no twist mechanism, no click, nothing that could come loose.
• Matte black plastic body: The lightweight, smooth plastic body feels secure in the hand despite its slender profile. The matte black finish shows no fingerprints and retains its character even after years of use.
• D1 refill (standardised): The D1 format is a widely adopted standard. Kaweco offers replacement refills in black and blue in line widths of 0.8 mm (fine), 1.0 mm (medium) and 1.2 mm (broad) – including a needle-point variant in 0.5 mm for fine lines.
• 1930s design: The distinctive Kaweco silhouette with its flattened edges has remained unchanged for decades – a recognisable formal concept that combines function and aesthetics in a slender body.
• Made in Germany: Production and quality control take place in Germany.

Use & Tips

• Everyday and pocket companion: The short, lightweight body makes the Sport ballpoint ideal for notebooks, diaries and planners – always at hand, never cumbersome.
• Choose your line width: For bullet-journal layouts and tight grid fields, the 0.8 mm or 0.5 mm needle-point refill is recommended. Those who write with a flowing hand and prefer a soft writing feel should choose the 1.0 mm refill.
• Changing the refill: The D1 refill can be changed without tools: unscrew the cap (on the Classic Sport, the tip is screwed in), pull out the old refill, insert a new one. The change takes seconds.
• Pairing with notebooks: On smooth, calendered paper, the ballpoint refill writes particularly smoothly and evenly. On textured or absorbent paper, the line width can vary slightly – the needle-point refill proves its worth here for precise lettering.
• Included refill: A blue D1 refill is included with the pen – ready to use straight away, no accessories needed.
