Was at the Kaweco stand in Paperworld 2020 in Frankfurt yesterday. Assembled some Kaweco Sports myself.

Is it just me or are those Sports really really large?

They are normal sized, it's my hands that are really really small lol

Those are my absolute favourite colours, they look gorgeous!

So pretty

Is Paperworld worth a visit as a consumer? How was your visit? What did you see?

No, in my opinion it isn't.
It's a trade fair. The ticket costs 30€. Exhibitors are not allowed to sell their products. Kaweco was just an exception. Even then they didn't explicitly call this a sale. The most you should expect is a quick chat with company representatives who won't take you seriously if you aren't planning to do business with them. And that's only if they don't have meetings to attend. It's just like any other trade fairs in Germany, if you have ever been to one.
I didn't see much as I was not there as a visitor. Although I got to try Platinum's new retractable FP, the Curidas.

No, I thought that. I‘ve been to some expos in our lands and most of them aren’t super great for private people. But hope was there. Maybe I have to look out for the pelikan (maybe other company I’m not sure anymore) meet up events :)

I’d like to hijack this to ask two questions: did you happen to see the steel Supra, and what do you think of the curidas?
1
I didn't know steel Supras weren't a thing so I didn't see it lol. I haven't used any Platinum pens so I can't compare it to anything else, but the nib felt smooth. The body though, felt cheap because of the plastic and the clicky part of the pen is so abnormally long, it's like 3cm and looked so out of proportion. Not a fan. Especially if it costs $70.

Oh my god I want that green one, I want that green one, I want that green one. That is sublime.

You missed out on making a tri-color sport

You couldn't choose the colour. I do have a red one though haha

I think these are new colours? I've seen plenty of Kaweco Sports in the wild but never in olive and this shade of blue... or am I wrong?
I was wondering the same thing! That Olive is magnificent.

According to the post, all the new releases should be on their website too but if you go there, there are no new colours for the Classic and Skyline Sport.
