Kaweco Fountain Pen Student (nib LUIBAN checked)

The Kaweco Student is a fountain pen with a characteristically bulbous premium resin barrel and gold trim details – a design reminiscent of classic writing instruments from the post-war decades. The three color variants of the series are each dedicated to a music era: the vibrant blue of 50's Rock, the organic green of 60's Swing, the warm orange of 70's Soul. The stainless steel nib is manufactured in Germany and can be exchanged for any nib piece with 060 thread.

Special Features

• Housing made of premium resin – the bulbous barrel with approximately 14 mm diameter fits snugly in the hand without causing fatigue
• Gold trim elements on cap and ring underscore the decade theme of each color variant
• Stainless steel nib, manufactured in Germany – writes evenly and with pleasant nib feedback; available in F (fine, for compact handwriting and thin lines) and M (medium, as an all-rounder for flowing text)
• Exchangeable nib unit with 060 thread: different nib sizes or shapes can be screwed in at any time
• Screw cap with permanently mounted metal clip – the cap can be placed on the rear barrel (160 mm writing length) or laid separately (120 mm)
• Ink supply via standard ink cartridges or converter – compatible with eleven Kaweco ink colors in the LUIBAN range
• Available in three color variants (50's Rock – blue, 60's Swing – green, 70's Soul – orange) and two nib sizes each (F and M)

Application & Tips

• Nib size F is suitable for dense notes, small font sizes and calendered, smooth paper – the fine point responds precisely to paper texture
• Nib size M writes smoothly and is well suited for journaling, diaries or longer flowing text
• On permanent ink, smooth paper, the stainless steel nib reveals its most even handwriting – less absorbent surfaces reduce feathering and drying time differences
• With a converter, you can draw ink directly from the bottle – for those who want to use ink colors beyond standard cartridges
• The nib unit with 060 thread is compatible with other Kaweco nibs of the same thread size – nib sizes can be changed without tools
• Regular rinsing with lukewarm water (especially when changing ink colors) keeps the ink channel and nib clean
• The cap closes by screwing – no accidental opening in pocket or backpack

For Fountain Pen Enthusiasts

The 060 thread is a Kaweco-specific size that unlocks a wide range of replacement nibs – including broad nibs for calligraphic strokes or softer finishes for an even smoother writing feel. If you like to write with iron gall inks or heavily pigmented inks, you should rinse the pen more regularly, as these ink types can dry in the ink channel. The premium resin barrel is resistant to most standard inks – even highly color-intensive inks with high pigment content keep the internal material stable.
