Pocket pen: Kaweco sport vs Pencket
Hello-
I’m interested in a lightweight pocket pen for work (business casual). I’ve not tried this style but I can’t easily access my shirt pocket in winter and am left to the use of my pocket.
Just today, I asked my wife for a Kaweco sport for Christmas. (My first, I’ve never even held one in real life.) Shortly afterward I saw a design that’s new to me: the pencket. It’s got the vague shape of a Kaweco but an acrylic body, non faceted body, and a size 6 jowo. The price, once imported to the US, is higher than I wanted to spend but not so far from the Kaweco that it shouldn’t be considered. Unfortunately, I can’t find much info on the Pencket.
Does anyone have a Pencket, or possibly also a Kaweco, who can compare them? Is it worth the extra $40? Does anyone know if the Pencket requires the user to screw the body on when posting , or is that optional? Small issue, but does anyone know how many rotations it takes to open?
I may stick with the Kaweco regardless , viewing the less expensive cost to be a perk given its use. But I don’t want to get something disappointing and wish I’d just bought something nicer.
Thanks for any input!
