It comes down to whether you want understatement or a bit more presence on the desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the Sport shape still works\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eKaweco has been making this octagonal body for a long time, and the design hasn't needed much changing. The octagonal cap keeps the pen from rolling off a desk or a café table, which matters more than it sounds like it should. Capped, it's small enough to disappear into a jacket pocket or a pencil case. Posted (with the cap pushed onto the back while you write), it becomes a full-length pen that sits comfortably in the hand for longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength capped:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength posted:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is made from ABS plastic, which is why the pen feels almost weightless despite being genuinely durable. It's not a pen you need to baby.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe nib\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eBoth colourways are available with a Fine or Medium stainless steel nib, produced in Germany. Fine suits smaller handwriting and gives more precise line control. Medium lays down a touch more ink and suits people who prefer a slightly wetter, more forgiving line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this pen apart from most plastic Kawecos is the nib unit itself. Instead of the usual friction-fit section, the Lunar Sport uses Kaweco's threaded 060 nib unit, the kind normally reserved for their metal pens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat means the nib can be unscrewed and swapped out entirely, no tools required, if you decide down the track you want a different width or a different feel. It's a small detail, but it's the difference between buying one pen and buying a pen you can adjust as your handwriting or your preferences change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilling it\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Lunar Sport takes standard international short cartridges and ships with one included, so it's ready to write out of the box. If you'd rather use bottled ink, it also accepts the Kaweco Sport converter (sold separately), which lets you draw ink directly from any bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it suits\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis is a good option if you want a fountain pen that travels well, whether that's in a jacket pocket, a bag, or a desk drawer at work. It also makes a genuinely nice gift for someone who already owns a few pens and would appreciate the finish, or for someone buying their first fountain pen who wants something that doesn't feel disposable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo colourways: \u003c\/strong\u003eLight Green, Shadow Green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNib:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fine or Medium, stainless steel, made in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwappable 060 nib unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5 cm capped, 13 cm posted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.5 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody: \u003c\/strong\u003eABS plastic with pearlescent, colour-shifting finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes one standard international ink cartridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with Kaweco Sport converter (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/WEBFLAGS_GERMANY_125px.png?v=1613734597\" style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kaweco","offers":[{"title":"Fine \/ Light Green","offer_id":45532056354951,"sku":"KW-11000509","price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Fine \/ Shadow Green","offer_id":45532056387719,"sku":"KW-11000527","price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium \/ Light Green","offer_id":45532056551559,"sku":"KW-11000510","price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium \/ Shadow Green","offer_id":45532056584327,"sku":null,"price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0345\/4160\/0903\/files\/Kaweco_Lunar_Sport_Limited_Edition_Fountain_Pen_page1.png?v=1786678727","url":"https:\/\/thestraywhisker.com.au\/products\/kaweco-lunar-sport-fountain-pen","provider":"The Stray Whisker","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
