Hey Goldspot, this was a great interview! I am an older gentleman who has been using fountain pens since the 80's but have never been apart (or knew about) the fountain pen community. Maybe it's my American heritage (ie. Charles Schwab, Steve Jobs etc.) that I absolutely loved this family re-instituting their family business. I have never heard of "Kaweco Pen's" before but I will learn and purchase at least a few to help ensure their success. All due to this great interview you presented, thank you.
I really enjoyed this interview. I have three Kaweco brass products and I do feel the "friendship" to the brand. As long as they are loyal to their current philosophy I will try to support them as a customer.
Really enjoyed this interview. I love “knowing” the owner of a company who’s products I purchase. I can see his love and passion for what he does, and THAT is what makes me a customer. I will purchase my first Kaweco today because of this interview. Thank you.
Tom, of your three German trip videos this is my favorite. The other two left me thinking "show me more factory shots". But Michael is just so authentic and pleasant and you did a great job bringing that out.
Have been using Lamy for a while, mixing with Blackwing pencils, but I got my first Kaweco steel the other day. I love the weight, the steel touch, the design, and the nib is amazing!
I own 2 KAWECO Sport and I love them deeply. The nibs write so smooth like much more expensive pens do. A real pleasure. I always have a KAWECO Sport in my bag. The only downside is the MINI Converter, wich is useless. U have to refill it all the time, because its so tiny. A piston mechanism for the Sport would be great.
I knew of Kaweco for some time, but never considered it, due to the no-clip design! Now, that I own a few and they have clips available...I don't want them, lol...go figure! By the way great interview ✒✨
I got a chance to take a factory tour of Faber Castell years ago and I loved it. I am very much looking forward to seeing the footage from your factory tours. Thank you for doing this!
The Sports brass Kaweco with an M or B nib is the best pen available, bar none. The move to Jowo nibs was very smart. Keep on making good quality pens with smooth nibs at affordable prices. PS. The Student demonstrator in F is a killer !
I have 5 Fountain Pens, i did a Video about it, from the 5 Pens its 2 Kaweco's and i love them most of all. Brass Kaweco Sport is my big and forever Favourite. I would like to come some day to Kaweco Factory and visit them. Very sympatic Dialog, thank you for sharing 👌👍
If you like your brass sport the Supra is definitely one I would recommend checking out. Since I have it it is the pen that I used the most. I just like this solid chunk of brass and for some reason a pen is build into. Neat little feature :P It also has no clip... I don’t like clips. And the nib has a nice size (No. 6?).
He's an interesting man. I wish you had asked him more about what is coming in terms of kinds of pens. He did talk about piston fillers. which was interesting
I'm inspired! I must look back into K. sports again, i forgot they had so many nice designs and variability. My next pens should be the Sport Ice Fine Lime (for an eyedropper) and Carbon Fire Orange, we'll see!
It would be great if Kaweco would offer the Supra in more (metal) materials. This is the pen model I would start collecting. I would pay a ridiculous price for a titanium Supra. And an extreme amount for an even thicker titanium Supra. A titanium Supra with a grip diameter of 11,7 mm instead of 9,7 mm and a little bit longer section is the pen I would build if I would have the equipment to do it. I would get at least two of them. One with a gold and one with a steel nib for carrying it around everyday. Maybe even a bigger nib like a Bock 380 for example. :) Seriously... That would be 100% the pen I would build. Again in true honesty the thicker titanium Supra is exactly the pen I would like to build. If I would had the equipment to build something similar, I would maybe try to make the cap unbalanced, by having a solid thick part at the very tip of the cap and drill a hole in it (from the inside (obviously not all the way through)) off-centered so that it wouldn’t roll away :) This would be a hidden roll stop that would not ruin the looks. The pen rolling a little bit doesn’t bother me, but it would be a nice feature. Posting would get problematic, but I generally don’t post my pens. The only pen I post sometimes is the Supra, just for fun :) Ouh :) I forgot to mention the amazing fit and finish of the Supra. The threads and everything else is very beautifully made. The Supra is my first Kaweco :) and I got it not too long ago and now I‘m looking at: • „Reiseeuti“ for 6 pens • special dip pen • STEEL Sport 0,7 mm pencil
The Kaweco Special Dip Pen will be my first dip pen. I want to use it to testing and archiving fountain pen inks. And a little bit of writing for fun. And this one seems to be very nice, because it is made from solid metal :) Definitely a step up from the cheap wooden ones.
I have 2 glass Dip Pens and like them, because i have little collection of Winsor and Newton Inks and with them i cant fill my Fountain Pens. Because it is not Ink for Fountain Pens. So this Glas Pens are perfect for that. But one Kaweco Dip Pen would be really nice Idea..
I might need to check out some of Rohrer & Klinger non fountain pen inks... Regarding the Kaweco dip pen... With 37,50€ (seems to be the standard price for it) I find it to be a good deal. Nice aluminum with a back piece that unscrews so that you can put some nibs in there. At least that’s what people say. I‘ll have to see if there is enough space for that :)
Too bad Kaweco completely went commercially nowadays. Really, all models have the same nib shapes. Only the bodies differ slightly. I like the vintage models better
In the Video Mr. Gutberlet show the holy shine of the company. Looks awesome, but when you have a problem with a product, the company shows the real behaviour. Bad and unfriendly customer service.
The userbase is growing because there is Kaweco is for every price point.
Great writer, never lets me down

I live "close" to Nürnberg and love Kaweco and use their fountain pen daily. Thanks for that wonderful video!

just bought my first brass sport. absolutely love the weight and industrial look. extremely happy. the steel version for me next!
Beautiful and inspirational. This is good. Kaweco is a great brand. Smart.

My Kawecos last forever 😂 I liked this interview a lot. Thank you.

At 0:12 you see that the man has style. Beautiful that Porsche with the Kaweco logo!
So glad he made his dream of a piston come true. It’s a fine pen!

By the way great interview ✒✨
I totally get that. Your taste in pens changes the more you use them. You figure out what works best for you. Glad you enjoyed the interview!
I got a chance to take a factory tour of Faber Castell years ago and I loved it. I am very much looking forward to seeing the footage from your factory tours. Thank you for doing this!
Very nice interview! Thank you! I received today my first Kaweko pen and looked online more about the brand!
Most of you "writers" forget us artists and illustrators. Don't leave us out. We love Kaweco too.

Enjoyable. Is factory tour coming?
I love Kaweco Al Sport! I only wish there was an ultra extra fine nib. 😱 UEF please
I want the Kaweco eyeglasses!!! :D
1:20 for those who want to practice the pronunciation of Kaweco :)
I don’t understand why the American guy still kept saying ka - WAY - co.
@@katie4623 Funny, because the CEO distinctly said "ka-WAY-co" at :31. But you do you, dawg.

Du bist ja auch überall eh :D
Very nice!
Very cool video.
It's odd that Michael doesn't make much eye contact when talking. Great interview however
Nice interview but please use a higher camera angle for shooting.
Nice clip
I love the way Kawecos look, but I don't always love the way they write.
Too bad Kaweco completely went commercially nowadays. Really, all models have the same nib shapes. Only the bodies differ slightly. I like the vintage models better
Kaweco make Plastic Pen in India
Like Parker
