The low weight and optimised grip section support the hand posture and allow for long, fatigue-proof writing fun. Add some fun to your stationery collection with the bold colours and quirky design of the Kaweco Perkeo Fountain Pen.

The one problem for me is for some reason it reminds me of the crystal BIC ballpoints and while the appearance has grown on me, my first reactions were not so positive. Perkeo pens have an octagonal cap and barrel, a stainless steel nib and a comfortable triangular grip. Constructed from durable injection moulded plastic, this lightweight fountain pen features an ergonomic grip section and sturdy stainless steel nib, making a great pen for young and old alike. Constructed from durable injection moulded plastic, this lightweight fountain pen features an ergonomic grip section and sturdy stainless steel nib. A full sized fountain pen made of tough plastic with a reasonable selection of colours and colour combinations it certainly peaks my interest.I went for the fine nib as was worried the medium might be a little too heavy/thick for my handwriting style.

Utilising the signature octagonal cap of their renowned Sport range and coupled with a distinctive 16 sided barrel, the Perkeo has a vibrant, contemporary feel. There are holes at the bottom of the barrel--so no eyedropper filling for this pen unless you seal the bottom very securely first. I did wonder about doing a quick comparison review as I have two of the Perkeo’s chief rivals, the Lamy Safari and the Pelikan Pelikano, plus a lower level Schneider pen. This Kaweco Collection edition is a powerful red, which moves along the spectrum from pink to orange, depending on how you view it. To recap briefly; this is a Kaweco’s entry-level offering for those who find the budget version of the Sport a little too diminutive.I'm hoping for more great color combos in the future (so I can continue to play LEGO pens) but I think Kaweco has a great, competitive entry-level pen, here.
