Product Information

There are holes at the bottom of the barrel--so no eyedropper filling for this pen unless you seal the bottom very securely first. My techniques epitomise the whole ethos of ‘less is more’ and demonstrate how much one can achieve using very little. Quality control seems (from this sample of one) to be better than on the Sports — I experienced no hard starting or skipping, which suggests no baby’s bottom. Kaweco has gone for something truly distinctive, with its trademark octagonal cap and this time a sixteen-sided barrel.

Reddit and its partners use cookies and similar technologies to provide you with a better experience. But the Kaweco Perkeo Jungle Green has more to offer than just its look: The ergonomic grip section and its low weight support the posture and allow fatigue-proof writing fun. Visually, the octagonal cap and the 16-sided barrel harmonise perfectly with each other, as the different angles of the surfaces create a unique play of light and shadow. With it’s great value and grip section, enabling fatigue-free writing the Perkeo is perfect for those looking for their first fountain pen or are in need of a work pen to get the job done. They're all fun and attractive color combos, and it's incredibly fun to mix-and-match the bodies, sections, and caps.

For deliveries to the Rest of the World, Royal Mail suggests up to 21 working days for parcels to arrive.

The modern shape and the ergonomic grip section of the writing instrument are ideal for beginners as well as high-quality writing. The Pelikan and Schneider are more comfortable to hold, but I think much of this is due to the rubber overlays which almost certainly will wear and split in time. The Perkeo is available in four colors: " Bad Taste" in cherry and black; " Cotton Candy" in pink and grey; " Indian Summer" in black and slime-green; and " Old Chambray" in a pale off-white and blue. Our overall recommendation If you’re penabling a member of the family who’ll prefer to pick up something which looks cool, you could do a lot worse than the pulchritudinous Perkeo.Also being a lot thinner than the sides on the cap means that you will need a very high level of OCD to want to line up the top facet of the cap and barrel, which is a good thing as the cap pulls on/off, so no threads to keep everything in line. Add some fun to your stationery collection with the bold colours and quirky design of the Kaweco Perkeo Fountain Pen. I must confess that I had experimented, in swapping the caps around to pair a black barrel with a black cap, but you still end up with a coloured band in the centre. It takes standard international sizes, so there's no need to fuss with the dreadful Kaweco mini converters.

And just to show how they can work I’ve used all three nibs – sometimes together to show the width contrast – with shimmer inks on Tomoe River and Cosmo Air Light papers. The Perkeo has been around for a while with some interesting colour schemes, however recently more colours have been added to the mix as well as a demonstrator finish, which is this pen. The Perkeo is essentially aimed at the entry-level market, and fits there very well, but plenty of grown-up, seasoned fountain pen fans seem to rather like it too. If this isn’t quite your cup of tea, but almost… If you like the Kaweco look but want something pocket-sized, of course there’s the trusty Sport – while if you want an entry-level German fountain pen but can’t find a Perkeo, the Pelikano occupies similar territory. The low weight and optimised grip section support the hand posture and allow for long, fatigue-proof writing fun.The light can shine through the translucent plastic and is reflected by various angles and edges of the fountain pen. The Kaweco Perkeo Fountain Pen is a charming writing instrument that combines vintage design with modern functionality. We go to great lengths to bring you the brands we know you love and we've been happily doing this since the very beginning of our journey. The cap is a snap fit, which is nice and convenient but I found the feel on closing to be a bit… imprecise.
