Very helpful comparison. Thank you. I have several plastic Sports and the Bronze Sport. I was expecting it to be heavy. It’s very heavy - heaviest pen in my collection.
I'm not too into bronze or brass, but a copper Sport would be amazing. A copper Supra would be amazing as well. They've had a copper Liliput for a long time, so I really hope they expand the material to the rest of their lineup sometime soon, as the Liliput just isn't for me.
Bronze and Brass are both a copper alloy, Brass has zinc, Bronze usually tin. To have the Bronze be double the price is silly. Bronze will usually darken more than the brass.
They also come in stainless steel and Sterling silver. I'd like to known what bronze alloy Kaweco is using, because there are many different kinds of bronze.
hi yoseka fam! the bronze looks great. i’ve never held the heavier kawecos. do you know how much the plastic kawecos weigh? I have the iridescent release and have been itching to get a metal one 😊
Goulet Pens listed the plastic Kawecon Sport at 10g which is halved the weight of the AL shown in the video so Bronze is actually 4x heavier than the plastic ones.
Thank you, I really enjoyed the side by side comparison and the weights.

Just got mine today. Beautiful addition to my brass sport which i got some years back. Thanks for sharing.
Glad to see some bronze, but still happy with my choice of steel.

Great point, I wouldn't be surprised to see a copper sport sometime in the future from Kaweco :)

Thanks for commenting Sean! It will definitely be interesting to see if the Bronze sports patina darker than the brass :)
looks cool! :)

We measured the plastic Kawecos to be 10 grams as well :)
Looks so good! Darn it, I didn’t want to spend money on a pen for a while. Now, what?
Does it smell like the brass?
Crazy, it is already sold out...Well, I don't like Kaweco nib...guess I saved $200.
