I posted this a few days ago on Reddit, but thought that I’d post here as well, since I’ll be moving away from Reddit for at least the next month for the protest going on about 3rd party apps and the API pricing increase.

I’m glad that I was able to find a community focusing on fountain pens! :D

The paper is 68gsm Tomoe River paper in a Lochby A5 refill.

    They don’t feel chunky when I’m holding them. The grip itself is actually fairly small. I did end up removing the clip from the purple one though. It just ended up seeming better without the clip.

      Thank you! I’ve been looking at them as a potential purchase, but that really thick posted cap just looked kind of uncomfortable to use. I may need to give one a shot!

        Here’s a picture of what it looks like in my hand. I don’t know if it’ll help, but the cap doesn’t bother me, at least. The Kaweco Sports are made to be posted, since they’re pocket pens.

        I find the metal ones slightly prone to top heaviness, but the plastic ones are completely reasonable, especially when yoh consider that theyre primarily pocketable pens
