Kaweco Limited Editions and Leonardo Officina Italiana Fountain Pens now at Fontoplumo (Sponsor)

Kaweco Sport fountain pens are some of the most fun and functional pens on the market, and these two models add another bright color to an already vivid lineup. The Sunrise model features a warm yellow barrel with silver trim and silver steel nib, while the Sunset model uses the same barrel and changes out the trim and nib colors to gold. The end result is one of the most fun Kaweco Sport barrels I’ve seen to date.

Fontoplumo also added a new brand to their ever-expanding product lineup: Leonardo Officina Italiana fountain pens. The Momento Zero is their first release, and it looks like a stunner.

Based in The Netherlands, Fontoplumo has a wonderfully unique inventory, great prices, and fast international shipping. My thanks to them for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.

Kensa Pen and Mechanical Pencil

The Kensa Pen and Mechanical Pencil is a modern take on the classic hexagonal barrel ballpoint pen. It upgrades every part of the writing experience - from your choice of barrel materials such as brass, stainless steel, and aluminum, to a wide variety of refill options.

Apt Studio, makers of the Kensa, designed a unique twist mechanism to deploy the pen refill, allowing them to keep the barrel diameter a more traditional width. Each pen and pencil also comes with a strong, single-piece aluminum clip that is removable to suit your carrying needs.

Starting at $35, the Kensa Pen and Mechanical Pencil is an iconic design, built to write a lifetime of words. My thanks to Apt Studio for sponsoring The Pen Addict this week.
