Lately I've been interested in the compact size & the various new iterations of the Liliput. The screw in nib-units are a great feature of this diminutive Kaweco. Being the one who mostly stays outside of the community, I feel really confused now. FIREBLU is ugly? Seriously? It is one of my favorite textures! The Supra has a screw-in metal extension to make the pen longer, which can be removed if you want a shorter pen. In the above photo, the Supra is full-size with the extension between the section and the rest of the pen body. Length of extended Supra capped and closed: about 13 cm or 5 1⁄ 8 inches. Length of extended Supra posted, excluding nib: about 14 cm or 5 1⁄ 2 inches. Length of shorter Supra (without extension piece) capped and closed: about 9.7 cm or just over 3 3⁄ 4 inches. This Fireblue pen is constructed from tempered steel and features a spectacular finish. Each pen is hand-torched, giving it a unique pattern of enchanting colors ranging from light brown to purple to blue. Due to this color variation, the pen you receive will have its own unique look which may differ in color from the pens pictured.

What the Sport should have been: the Kaweco Supra Fireblue

The Supra nib unit is a bigger version of the convenient screw-in/screw-out nib unit found on all Kaweco pens above the basic range. My Supra had a fine nib, which was extremely smooth with good ink flow. The combination of large nib and weighty pen made the Supra a really fun writer. The finishing and construction overall feels great, a precision product. All the sections fit together well, seamless joins are really seamless, weight and balance are good (if you like metal pens). Finally, the pen can be used without the middle section, unposted. This gives a pen that is just 9.5 cm (3.75 inches) long and weighs 31 g (1.1 ounces). This was by far my least favorite setup. We use a state of the art laser engraving machine which gently etches away the top layer of the pen to reveal the base metal underneath.Support for many vanilla doom wads, allowing every favorite wad to be a completely colorful experience! My Stainless Steel Liliput came with a medium nib and the Fireblue with an extra-fine, both of which were good writers. Liliput nib units are the same as those on the AL-Sport, AC-Sport and Dia2 line, and can be easily unscrewed and interchanged with the nib units of any of those pens. Not with the larger Supra, of course. Sharp is a good word to use, actually, because there are a few edges to catch the finger. With the extension tube inserted, there’s a step midway down the barrel, and the step up from the section is a bit edgy too.

Kaweco Supra Fountain Pen - Fireblue | The Hamilton Pen Company

The Kaweco Supra Fireblue is made of blue stainless steel and is a real eye-catcher. It is produced from high-quality stainless steel and is 'blued' by hand, which makes every item individual. Holly, Kaweco will respond to your questions. For mine, it took a couple of days for the answers to appear.. We can engrave any letter, number or character that can entered from a standard computer keyboard, in any language. This includes English, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Cyrillic etc. Re the question of a converter in a Liliput, even if you could find one that fitted, I think it would hold so little ink as to not be worth bothering (I have two, one brass and one copper).I personally think the Fireblue looks better in person. I know that doesn’t help. 😀 Maybe wait till you could see one in person? Unlike the other pens in the Liliput range, the Liliput Fireblue pen's barrel and cap are made of blued stainless steel. This process of blueing is done by hand and through the action of different temperatures, the individual pen receives a varied colouring of shimmering bluish and brownish colour nuances. Resulting in an entirely unique pen that can be further changed over time through use. Making for a pen that is entirely unique. The blued steel barrel and cap is further complimented through the use of a gold Kaweco logo and detailing on the top of the pens screw-on cap. I'm wondering if there is anything that would react with the actual oxide layer that makes the metal look blue (among other colors obviously). If all of that is inert and doesn't matter, then there's surely a way to get this pen and then coat it to preserve the colors. It would be great . I guess the lacquer wouldn't react with metal, even if it tends to react with paint. There are so many types of lacquer that there *has to* be at least one which would be good for this purpose. I'll ask my fellow chemist.
