Kaweco Pens Singapore: The Complete Series Guide (2026)
Complete Series Guide · 2026
Kaweco Pens Singapore
From Perkeo to SUPRA — every series explained, with honest advice on who each one suits. Fountain pens are the heart of the Kaweco range. Start here.
Kaweco is one of the most recognised pen brands in the world — that compact octagonal barrel, the satisfying click of posting the cap, the way it fits in a shirt pocket without a bulge. Founded in Heidelberg in 1883, revived in Nuremberg in the 1990s, and now sold globally. In Singapore, Cityluxe has been the authorised retailer for over a decade.
One important thing to know: fountain pens are the core of the Kaweco range. While they make excellent ballpoints and rollerballs, the brand's soul — and most of its craft — lives in the fountain pen lineup. This guide reflects that, starting with the best entry points and working up through the range.
Before You Buy
Writing samples on Rhodia DotPad paper using J. Herbin Perle Noire ink. Note how line width increases clearly from EF to BB.
Understanding Kaweco Nib Sizes
Kaweco nibs run broader than Japanese brands. Their EF is roughly equivalent to a Japanese F or even M. If you're coming from a Japanese pen, size down one level.
EFExtra Fine≈ Japanese F. Sharp, precise. Best for small handwriting or detailed notes.
FFineVersatile everyday nib. Best starting point for new users.
MMediumComfortable, expressive. The most popular size at Cityluxe.
BBroadLush, wet line. Excellent for ink shading and signature use.
BBDbl BroadVery expressive. For enthusiasts who know what they want.

Entry Level
1. Perkeo — The Perfect First Fountain Pen
From SGD 32. The most accessible fountain pen in the Kaweco range — full-sized barrel, designed for everyday writers, and priced where anyone can start.
New · Very Popular
From SGD 32 Fountain Pen · Rollerball from SGD 27.90
The Perkeo is larger than the Sport series — a full-sized barrel that sits comfortably in hand without posting the cap. It accepts Kaweco short cartridges or a converter for bottled ink. An approachable start to fountain pen writing.
The Iridescent Pearl is one of the most popular colours in the Kaweco range at Cityluxe — a shimmering white-to-pink finish that photographs beautifully and writes just as well.
- Fountain pen: SGD 32 (Iridescent Pearl) / SGD 33 most other colours
- Rollerball: SGD 27.90 — an excellent volume corporate gift option
- Available in Iridescent Pearl, Jungle Green, All Black, and more
- Nib sizes: EF, F, M, B, BB

2. Classic Sport & Skyline Sport — The Iconic Octagonal
From SGD 38.90. The Sport barrel is Kaweco's signature. Two variants of the same compact form — one timeless, one contemporary.
Classic Sport
FP from SGD 43.90 · Ballpoint SGD 38.90 · Gel Roller SGD 38.90 · MP SGD 43.90
The original. ABS plastic in over a dozen colours — Black, White, Bordeaux, Green, Navy, Red, Transparent, and more. Lightweight, affordable, pocketable. The Classic Sport Fountain Pen is often the pen that turns a ballpoint writer into a fountain pen convert.
Each year, Kaweco releases the Sport Collection — a set of limited-edition colours exclusive to that year. These are collector favourites: the colours change annually, making older ones progressively harder to find.
- Fountain pen available in EF, F, M, B, BB — great first FP
- Most popular colours: Black, Bordeaux, Navy
- Sport Collection yearly editions — worth watching for
- Excellent for corporate gifting at this price
Skyline Sport
From SGD 38.90 · Fountain Pen · Gel Rollerball · Ballpoint · MP
The Skyline Sport is the urban update — same octagonal body, fresh pastel and neutral colours (Mint, Gray, Macchiato, Pink, White), with silver accent trim. Fountain pens, gel rollerballs, ballpoints, and mechanical pencils are all available across the range.
Skyline Pink was discontinued but returned in April 2026 by popular request — and has quickly become the top-selling Skyline colour at Cityluxe. If it speaks to you, don't wait.
- Pink: returned April 2026 after popular demand — currently the top seller
- Gel rollerball: ideal for those who love the smoothness of water-based ink with the convenience of a capped ballpoint
- Skyline colours also appear in Sport Collection yearly editions

3. AL Sport — The Aluminium Upgrade
From SGD 98. Same iconic form, machined from anodised aluminium. This is where most Kaweco buyers eventually land — and stay.
Best All-Rounder
FP from SGD 118 · Ballpoint from SGD 98 · Gel Roller from SGD 108
The weight and feel step up dramatically over the plastic Sport. The aluminium body is satisfying in hand — not too light, not heavy. Raw Aluminium develops a natural patina over time. Rose Gold is perennially popular. Anthracite and Black are the understated daily-carry classics.
- Fountain pen: SGD 118 (Light Blue) / SGD 130 most colours
- Colours: Anthracite, Black, Deep Red, Light Blue, Raw Aluminium, Rose Gold, Silver
- Stonewashed Blue: deliberately weathered industrial texture — SGD 148 FP. Particularly striking in person
- AL CONNECT: EMR stylus edition for Wacom/Samsung/reMarkable tablets — SGD 178
The Heavyweight
4. Brass Sport — Solid and Satisfying
From SGD 122. Same Sport form, machined from solid brass. Heavier than aluminium — and for many writers, that added heft is precisely the point.
Brass Sport
FP SGD 153 · Ballpoint SGD 122 · Gel Roller SGD 128 · MP SGD 130
The Brass Sport develops a patina over time — some owners polish it back to bright gold, others let it deepen to a warm antique finish. The pen becomes a personal object that records its use. This is a feature, not a flaw.
- Heavier and more substantial than AL Sport — different kind of satisfaction
- Popular as a desk pen — sits solidly, looks the part
- Patina story makes it a compelling personal or long-term gift
- Fountain pen available EF through BB
Ink Enthusiasts
5. Piston Sport — Fill Directly from the Bottle
From SGD 113. No cartridges, no converter — these fill directly from any ink bottle with a twist of the piston. The natural choice for bottled ink users.
Piston Sport Classic
SGD 113 Black with Gold Nib · ABS plastic body
The Piston Sport Classic is the plastic-body piston filler — a more accessible entry into the format. The gold-plated steel nib adds elegance at an honest price. Kaweco built this as their answer to the TWSBI piston-filler market: the convenience of direct filling in the Sport form factor.
- SGD 113 — most affordable piston-fill Sport fountain pen
- Gold-plated steel nib: EF, F, M, B, BB
- Fills from any ink bottle; significantly more capacity than cartridge
Most Popular Piston
SGD 262 AL Piston Filler · Starter Set SGD 270 (multiple nibs)
The AL Sport Piston Filler is the aluminium version — premium weight and feel, same direct-fill convenience. This is the one most serious ink enthusiasts reach for. The Starter Set includes multiple nib sizes so you can try different line widths before committing.
- SGD 262 pen / SGD 270 Starter Set with multiple nibs
- Also: Piston Sport AL in Navy — SGD 262
- Significantly more ink capacity than any cartridge or converter setup
- No cartridge waste — an environmentally cleaner choice
Collector's Choice
6. Art Sport — Patterned Resin
SGD 195. The most visually distinctive Sport — a barrel crafted from patterned resin, the same material used in premium Italian and Japanese pens.
Art Sport
SGD 195 Fountain Pen · All colours
Each colour features a unique visual texture that catches the light differently throughout the day. Current range at Cityluxe: Hickory Brown (warm woody grain), Mineral White (ivory swirls), Pebble Blue (blue-grey marbled — our most popular), and Terrazzo (multicoloured fleck inspired by Italian flooring).
- All fountain pen, all SGD 195 — nib sizes EF through BB
- Pebble Blue and Terrazzo are the top sellers
- Dark Blue 2018 limited edition available with gold or silver trim: SGD 298
- The most gift-worthy Kaweco for someone who appreciates material craft
The Statement Piece
7. TITAN Sport — The Pinnacle of the Sport Range
SGD 400. Titanium. New October 2025. The most technically advanced and premium Sport Kaweco has ever produced.
New · SGD 400
SGD 400 Fountain Pen
Titanium sits between aluminium and stainless steel in density — lighter than brass, harder than aluminium, with a distinctive cool-grey tone that wears differently over time. The TITAN Sport is the first titanium Sport in the range.
It presents with the quiet confidence of exceptional materials — no flashy finish, just the quality of the metal itself. The most significant gift in the Sport family.
- Fountain pen only — SGD 400
- Titanium: harder and lighter than brass, exceptional durability
- The right choice for an important senior gift or personal milestone
World's Smallest
8. Liliput — One of the Smallest Fountain Pens in the World
From SGD 92. At just 97mm capped, the Liliput is genuinely pocketable in a way no other pen is — and it writes with the same Sport nib family as the full-size models.
Liliput
From SGD 92 Black · FireBlue SGD 262
An aluminium or brass barrel barely larger than your thumb, yet it writes a full-size line. 97mm capped, 117mm posted. The pen has a cult following among travellers and minimalists who refuse to carry a full-size pen but won't compromise on writing quality.
The FireBlue (SGD 262) is the standout: a vivid blue finish produced by heat-treating the brass. Every pen comes out slightly different — the colour shifts with light and viewing angle. No two are exactly alike.
- Black (aluminium, steel nib): SGD 92 — best entry into the Liliput range
- FireBlue (heat-treated brass): SGD 262 — a collector's piece and great gift
- Nib sizes EF through BB — writes full line despite tiny body
- A standout gift for travellers, minimalists, and pen lovers
Japan's Best Seller
9. Special — The Precision Mechanical Pencil
From SGD 79. In Japan, the Kaweco Special consistently outsells the fountain pen range. A mechanical pencil that deserves its own category.
Special · Black
From SGD 79 Black · Also available in Brass (SGD 98)
The Special is an octagonal aluminium or brass mechanical pencil with a precision-machined lead advance mechanism. It doesn't look or feel like a typical mechanical pencil — it has the solidity and presence of a fountain pen. The brass version develops a patina that makes it uniquely personal over time.
Japanese stationery culture places mechanical pencils on par with fountain pens. The Special has earned its place as the best-selling Kaweco product in Japan — which tells you something about how right it is.
- Black (aluminium): SGD 79 — the most accessible entry into the Special range
- Brass: SGD 98 — develops its own patina with use
- Available in 0.3mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.9mm, and 2.0mm lead diameters
- 0.3mm is exceptionally rare for a premium mechanical pencil — ideal for precision drawing and fine technical work
- The ideal gift for someone who prefers pencils over pens
Also available: Special S — the shorter, more pocket-friendly version of the Special. The "S" stands for Small: same octagonal form and precision mechanism, in a compact body that sits more naturally in a shirt pocket or daily carry kit.

Classic Styling
10. STUDENT — Inspired by Music Eras
SGD 109. A full-sized fountain pen with classic cigar-shaped styling — for frequent writers who want more barrel than the Sport offers.
STUDENT
SGD 109 Fountain Pen · EF, F, M, B, BB
The STUDENT steps away from the octagonal Sport silhouette — a traditional rounded barrel that feels immediately familiar in hand. Each colourway is named after a music era. 70's Soul is the current hero colour: warm amber and black, instantly recognisable, timelessly good-looking.
Developed for frequent writers — the longer, ergonomic profile suits extended writing sessions better than the compact Sport. If you write more than a page at a time, the STUDENT rewards it.
- SGD 109 · Fountain pen only
- Nib sizes EF through BB
- Full-sized barrel — better for larger hands or long writing sessions
- A distinctive gift for the design-conscious frequent writer
The Premium Line
11. SUPRA — Beyond the Sport
From SGD 178. The SUPRA is Kaweco's step into full-sized premium territory. The FireBlue edition is unlike anything else in the range — or most other pen ranges.
Hero Piece
SUPRA Brass SGD 178 · SUPRA FireBlue SGD 340
The SUPRA Brass (SGD 178) is a substantial full-sized fountain pen machined from solid brass — warm gold tone, satisfying weight, the kind of pen that becomes a daily anchor.
The SUPRA FireBlue (SGD 340) is the exceptional one. The finish is produced by heat-treating solid brass — a traditional Japanese craft technique applied to German engineering. The vivid iridescent blue shifts with light and angle, and every pen comes out slightly differently. No two are the same.
- SUPRA Brass: SGD 178 · warm, substantial everyday writer
- SUPRA FireBlue: SGD 340 · iridescent, each one unique
- Full-sized body — a departure from the Sport compact format
- The FireBlue is one of the most remarkable pens in the Cityluxe range
