Kaweco Gel Roller Sport Green
The Kaweco Sport gel roller in green features the characteristic octagonal eight-sided plastic body, a design that dates back to the 1930s. Capped, it measures 10.5 cm – pocket-sized – and extends to a comfortable 13.5 cm writing length when the cap is posted on the end. Inside, a G2 gel refill with a 0.7 mm ceramic ball delivers ink smoothly and continuously onto the page, producing a soft, saturated line. The Sport is manufactured in Nuremberg, hand-assembled and individually tested.
Features
- Octagonal eight-sided body: The eight facets prevent the pen from rolling off your desk and provide a secure, comfortable grip for the hand.
- G2 gel refill with ceramic ball (0.7 mm / fine): Ink flows directly and evenly – no pressure needed. The script is crisp, the line defined. The refill is in standard G2 format and easily replaceable.
- Pocket format 10.5 cm (capped): The cap clicks firmly and reliably protects the refill. No clip, no closure – simply slip it into your pocket.
- Cap posted: 13.5 cm writing length: Posting the cap on the rear end extends the pen to a well-balanced writing position – comfortable to hold even for larger hands.
- Weight approx. 13 g: Very light for a gel roller, making it particularly fatigue-free during extended writing.
- Green: A muted, rich green – understated and distinctive in its colour, not a loud signal colour.
- Made in Germany: Assembly and individual testing in Nuremberg, continuing the city's tradition of pen manufacturing.
Use & Tips
- Everyday writing and note-taking: The 0.7 mm line is fine enough for dense notes in an A6 notebook, yet broad enough to produce a legible, ink-rich stroke on smooth, calendered paper.
- Refill replacement: Standardised G2 format – replacement refills in black and blue (0.7 mm) are available in the LUIBAN range. Simply remove the cap, pull out the refill, and insert a new one.
- On the go and travelling: At 10.5 cm, the Sport fits into small inside pockets or jacket pockets. The secure-fitting cap prevents accidental leakage.
- Paper choice: The gel refill performs best on smooth, ink-fast paper – the stroke dries quickly without smudging. On absorbent or rough surfaces, ink flow may vary.
- Accessories: Clips for the Kaweco Sport are available in gold, silver, bronze and black – simply slide them onto the cap afterwards.
For Gel Roller Enthusiasts
The G2 standard is the most widespread refill format for gel rollers worldwide – which means the Kaweco Sport gel roller can be fitted not only with Kaweco's own replacement refills, but with any compatible G2 refill, including fast-drying gel formulations or pigmented variants for archival writing. Those writing on Tomoe River paper or other thin, ink-fast papers will find that the ceramic ball delivers a clean, continuous line even at brisk writing speeds. The ABS plastic body, despite its lightweight 13 g, maintains its shape – the octagonal cross-section with a 13 mm diameter (without clip) gives the pen a surprisingly solid feel for a writing instrument in this weight class.
