We wrote twice about the Kaweco, cursorily, and now it’s time to go deep into the text with it. Kaweco is a weird brand. It’s now owned by a big conglomerate, but it tracks as “design,” so you’ll see it at every single boutique on the planet that has design stuff. In this way, it is like Hasami, acting as the writing instrument of the white noise band for in-the-know design kids. There are other brands like Kaweco & Hasami, and some of them are good. Kaweco is occasionally good. Its lines have become distended to the point where “good” is not the point. You buy a Kaweco to color-match your wardrobe. You buy it because it’s plastic, cheap, and consistent.
