Kaweco Gel Roller Sport Bordeaux

The Kaweco Sport gel roller in Bordeaux features the series' characteristic octagonal cap and compact body, a design harking back to the 1930s. Crafted from plastic in a deep, warm burgundy tone with gold accents, it fits neatly into any shirt or trouser pocket when capped. The gel refill with ceramic ball delivers a consistently smooth, soft line – no scratching, no interruptions.

Features

• Ceramic ball in the gel refill: The ceramic tip glides particularly smoothly across paper and delivers ink continuously and with control – the line remains consistently rich from start to finish.
• Pocket format: Capped, the gel roller measures just 10.5 cm and slides flat into any pocket. The cap slides onto the barrel end, extending the pen to 13.5 cm – a comfortable length for relaxed writing.
• Burgundy with gold details: The deep reddish-brown tone is both businesslike and warm – the gold logo engravings add a classic accent that complements the series' retro aesthetic.
• Eight-sided barrel: The Sport series' distinctive octagonal facets sit securely in the hand, prevent the pen from rolling off the desk, and provide a sure grip despite the slender diameter.
• Made in Germany: Kaweco manufactures and assembles the Sport series in Nuremberg.

Use & Tips

• Daily notes and journalling: The black gel refill writes particularly cleanly on smooth, calendered paper. Using a notebook or planner with smooth paper weight (from 80 g/m² upwards) yields the best script appearance.
• Left-handers: The Sport's gel refill delivers ink in a controlled, economical manner, so the script remains largely smudge-free even when your hand passes over it – ideal for anyone who drags their hand across what they've written.
• On the go without a pencil case: The gel roller closes absolutely seal-tight with the cap on. For pocket EDC, bullet-journal setups or a planner in your jacket pocket, the compact format is the decisive advantage.
• Refill replacement: The black G2-compatible gel refill is replaceable. Kaweco offers replacement refills that are simple to swap.

For Gel Roller Enthusiasts

The ceramic ball in the Kaweco gel refill differs technically from conventional steel balls: ceramic is harder, more wear-resistant and responds more uniformly across different paper surfaces. This is especially apparent during extended, continuous writing – the ink flow remains stable without requiring pressure. The ink in the supplied black refill is not archival-quality – for permanently archival records, an archival-quality replacement refill is recommended.
