when posted, a Kaweco is 13cm long including nib.
I have a black fine sport for weekend carry and love it. I rotate with a Pilot Prera.
Yep. I tend to hold pens a bit away from the nib and it only just fits in my hand. It doesn't help that I don't really like posted pens either.
Edit: I just compared the posted sport to one of my Safaris and the sport is actually a few mm longer. Must be something with the balance of the sport when posted that just doesn't feel right.

The regular nibs are so nice that I wouldn't see the need to spend the extra dough for a gold one. But if someone else wants to, more power to him! No problem with Kaweco offering the option.
Nice going y'all... Now I want one!
I have a black plastic Sport, which I carry when I'm wearing coats or jackets which have small pockets; usually one of my Good Wear A-2s.
It always writes well, and doesn't leak. I have found that converters jiggled loose in the pen, but my remedy is to reuse short cartridges, which I fill with inks of my choice with a hypo, and which stay put.

Sweet! I like the color scheme that you have going on there.
Thanks! I'm a real fan of these pens. Glad I came here to learn of them!
Hi:
I have a Kaweco Dia2 with a F nib, quite good, like the design, very comfortable grip indeed.
Purchased a M nib, but performs the same as a F nib size.
How are their working your M size nibs? more like F size? or M size like Lamy Safari?.
Thanks

I've been carrying one of these daily for several years now. I have a pretty beat up silver aluminum version. Fantastic pen.
I notice a difference with the M and F nibs. The ink seems to distribute the same on paper (with both) but I find I get more fluent writing with my M's for writing, note taking and signatures. The F feels a bit too "sharp", if that makes sense. I can't seem to get a smooth flow with my F nib, so I designate it for printing and highlighting while marking up paperwork.
All that said, it's about what you prefer. Some people prefer to use EF. I can't see myself taking that route, for example.

I really like their medium. It just works for me. I'd like to try a bold next purchase.
I'm going to try again and do some fine tuning (maybe increasing the flow inside the feed).
Thanks for your feedback
