The big news this week is that The Gentleman Stationer is now an authorized retailer of Kaweco! We currently have pens from the Classic Sport and the Skyline Sport product lines, as well as two models of the “Sketch Up” Clutch Pencil in Brass and Black/Yellow SoftFeel. We decided to start with the Kaweco Sport because quality pocket pens are something I value, as well as a product category that has been very popular with our customers. Look for more versions of the Kaweco Sport and other products from the Kaweco line to arrive soon.
As we announced earlier this week, we have fully restocked on TWSBI, including some of the last ALR “Punch Pink” and AL “Rose” Diamond 580 Fountain Pens, which are being discontinued and probably won’t be available again for some time. (TWSBI does tend to rotate colors every few years, but there’s no guarantee that these exact shades will reappear.)
The Gentleman Stationer is an authorized retailer of all brands sold.
Kaweco Classic Sport Fountain Pens. How do I not own a “Bordeaux” Sport yet? Sometimes the original flies below the radar, and for me the Classic Kaweco Sport is one of those pens. At only $25, these pocket pens represent great value. Kaweco cartridges are available separately.
Kaweco Skyline Sport Fountain Pens. Now I DO have multiple Skyline Sport fountain pens in my own collection, and have owned basically all of these nontraditional, more muted colors over the years. My daughter picked the Mint Skyline Sport for her first pen.
Kaweco Sketch Up 5.6mm Brass Clutch Pencil. It’s shorter length prevents the brass from being too heavy, and the finish will patina nicely with age. Refill with 5B Kaweco graphite leads, highlighter leads, or swap in a brass Kakimori dip nib?
Kaweco Sketch Up 5.6mm SoftFeel Black and Yellow Clutch Pencil. When I saw these pencils on the “discontinued stock” rack in New York back in February, I had to have them. For whatever reason, this “SoftFeel” rubberized material won’t be made going forward, per the distributor, and I love it in the Sketch Up. Get them while you can.
Pilot Custom 74 Fountain Pens. Now available in all colors, Pilot’s 14k workhorse features the high-capacity CON-70 pump converter for one of the best all-around everyday writing experiences under $200. Pilot nibs are astonishingly good, and the “Blue Stone” pen hasn’t really left my side for the past week.
Pilot Custom 823 Fountain Pens. If I ran Pilot, I’d make the Custom 823 more of a focus, because it’s that good. The high-capacity vacuum-filling system can be a bit intimidating to look at, but it’s fairly simple once you get the hang of it. Check out this Youtube video for a demonstration.
TWSBI Diamond 580 AL Rose Fountain Pen. I screwed up and sold my original red TWSBI 580 many years ago, and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the AL Rose come back out. I nearly missed picking these up again for the shop.
TWSBI Diamond 580 ALR “Punch Pink” Fountain Pen. The “Punch Pink” TWSBI 580 features the textured ALR grip, and has a reddish-pink hue that’s somewhere between a true pink and a red. “Punch” is actually a good name, now that I think of it….
Pilot Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Inks. In addition to Pilot pens, we’re happy to add the Iroshizuku line of bottled fountain pen inks to our store. These are some of the best all-around inks on the market, and the wide array of unique colors are based on the scenery of Japan.
TWSBI Fountain Pen Inks. We have all of the TWSBI bottled inks and cartridges available once again, including the six-bottle sets of the 1791 inks!
