My first impression was that your poor ink flow was due to machining oils, I would have started by that first. Other than that, I agree that it is a substantial yet comfortable pen and it has a great design (IMHO much better than its clones). Mine has aged nicely, and I suspect it will still evolve its patina. That's another plus for me, the organic surface and that it is raw, not varnished as the clones gives -again IMHO- a distinctive feeling. I hope you like the patina yours may develop, but if you don't, you can always polish it.

For traveling and for use “on the go” I wanted a pen that is compact and highly robust and at the same time a reasonably good and comfortable writer. All that in a price range that would not let me completely panic in case I would miss the pen during travel or it got stolen. Now the pen writes really lovely and I am very happy with owning it. I like the feel when having it in my hand and how it writes so nice and smooth on the different papers I tried. It feels like I could write very comfortable with it for hours, something I had not expected. Weighing in at 34 grams, the ballpoint pen has a nice substantial feel in the hand and is comfortable to write with. It’s a push button retractable pen, featuring the Kaweco logo in metal on the button. The pen came loaded with the Kaweco Soul 1.0 ballpoint refill in blue but accepts any standard D1 size refills.

I turned to Youtube-university to learn what to do about this. I learned how to inspect the nib and found that in my case the nib halves were tightly pressed together. I adjusted that and cleaned also the feed just in case there would be some residue from production. Brass is a wonderful material for producing pens. It's strong, it's heavy and looks and feels great. Lots of pens have brass barrels or components but the brass is normally hidden away under layers of paint or plastic. Not so with the Kaweco Brass Sport. Kaweco have been manufacturing pens and pencils in Germany since 1883. In the 1930s Kaweco created the Sport line of chunky hexagonal pens which became an enduring classic. The Kaweco brand is now in the hands of passionate pen people H & M Gutberlet and goes from strength to strength.
