Kaweco Ballpoint Pen Sport mint
The Kaweco Sport ballpoint in Mint is a compact pocket companion featuring the iconic octagonal retro design from the 1930s – lightweight, comfortable to hold, and reduced to the essentials. The mint-coloured plastic body, with its soft matte finish and cool tactile feel, sits pleasantly in your hand once the cap is fitted to the back end. At 13 cm long with the cap on, it slips effortlessly into any trouser or jacket pocket.
Features
- Octagonal retro design since the 1930s: The angular, octagonal shape prevents rolling and gives the pen a secure, stable grip – even during longer writing sessions.
- Compact pocket size: 13 cm long with cap fitted – the classic Kaweco concept where the cap slides onto the back, creating a full writing length.
- D1 refill included: Pre-fitted with a blue D1 ballpoint refill. The D1 is a standard short refill that can be easily swapped for alternatives in various line widths (0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm) and colours.
- Lightweight plastic body: The robust ABS plastic body keeps the pen remarkably light – noticeably so when writing for extended periods, where heavier metal ballpoints can cause fatigue.
- Mint colour with chrome accents: The bright, fresh mint green of the barrel is complemented by a chrome-finish Kaweco logo on the push button – a calm, understated colour tone without any loud effect.
- Refillable: The short D1 refill is simple to replace; no cartridges, no converter – simply pull out the refill and insert a new one.
Use & Tips
- Everyday pocket carry: Without a clip (available separately), this pen is ideal for those who want to carry a ballpoint loosely in their pocket and have it readily at hand – without it snagging on fabric.
- Bullet journals and planners: The D1 refill writes smoothly with a medium line width on both smooth and slightly textured paper. For tighter line spacing, switching to a 0.8 mm refill is worthwhile.
- On the go and travelling: The light weight and compact, closed design make the Sport an uncomplicated companion in a daypack or held in a notebook's elastic band.
- Refill replacement: Simply pull off the push button or open the barrel to remove the D1 short refill. Kaweco offers replacement refills in blue, black and red, as well as line widths of 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm and 1.2 mm.
- Document-proof? Standard ballpoint pastes (such as the supplied D1 refill) are waterproof once dry, but not document-proof according to DIN ISO 12757-2. For archival-safe documents, a specifically marked document-proof refill is recommended.
