Okay, I couldn't resist the unicorn fountain pen and I knew I had to ink it up immediately with the most unicorn-like ink that I have. Hope you enjoyed this little first look!

Literally told myself I wouldn't buy anymore fountain pens as I'm relatively new to them and already have a ton of them, but they still had this one on Jet Pens which I've purchased from before so I decided just to get it, it's such a lovely pen. I also got mine in a broad nib and I'm hoping I like it since I do love my TWSBI Eco in a broad. It's such a pretty pen in videos and online so I hope I love it! I have tiny hands (had the nickname "Baby Hands" for awhile bc of it) and so I gravitate toward smaller pens anyways but was looking for another pocket sized one (I have the Pilot Petit1 and loved it but wanted another idk). So excited to get mine!! You really changed my mind about Kaweko pens so I hope I'm as in love with mine as you are yours!! Thanks for the video even tho I'm late! You can get the Lilliput for $50 on Cult Pens if anyone wants to find it cheaper.

Nice video! I haven’t reached for my plastic sports as much since getting an aluminum version in rose gold. Last month I got the black Liliput and love it in the medium nib. I wanted the black one since I could use any ink color but the green one is cute! I’m currently obsessed with my newest pen the Benu Talisman in Mandrake color. It’s the best steel nib I’ve ever written with!

I love my Iridescent Pearl pen!! I also am using a beautiful ink that matches the pen - Mystic Mountain from Colorverse. I love it!! Would definitely be interested in seeing an ink swatching video too, I have a ton of samples I need to get through but there's always more room on my wishlist! :)

Thanks for another great video. The ink you sampled is so pretty. I agree that it is better for decorative use since the paragraph was a little more difficult to read. A swatching video would be fun to watch, but for me you wouldn't need to push it up the schedule. :)

I have the Benu Talisman in Foxglove and love it (medium nib) although I think I would have preferred it with a Broad nib. I would have liked to have purchased more Benu pens, but their prices went up more than I can afford. I love my Kaweco Sports and AL Sports with a Broad nib. It would be difficult to say what pen is my favorite, but my top five favorites would include, in no particular order: Pilot E95S; Pilot Vanishing Point; Pineider Full Metal Jacket, Medium nib; Kaweco Sport, Broad nib; and a Parker antique Vacumatic.

I love ink samples, but Goulet needs to step it up and include more ink in the sample vials. Vanness and Pen Chalet both offers more ink in their sample vials for the same price as Goulet sells theirs with considerably less ink. 🤷♀️

I got my Iridescent Pearl this week as my first Kaweco Pen and I got pretty fast disappointed, because the (M) nib tends to skip a lot... I googled it and it seems I am not alone. There are many videos on youtube on this issue, too. I'm glad for you, that yours worked straight out of the box!

the aluminium version of the liliput is the most affordable one and sits somwehre arround 45 euros, the brass one around 60, there is the one made of steel and an other one made of copper, they are arround 80. the really expensive one is the stainles steal that has been burned and shows a blue hue

The Lilliput is adorable! The green one you got is aluminum. The brass and copper versions are more expensive because of the metals (also heavier), so the green one is priced more like the AL Sports. I have the copper Lilliput because I have a "thing" for copper pens (I grew up in New Mexico, and my grandfather worked for a copper mine.) I also bought the iridescent Kaweco Sport! I did a pre-order with Truphae, but I haven't inked it up yet--I am waiting on some new pearlescent inks to arrive (from Goulet.) I have one of the Kaweco mini converters, but it is just so tiny, it's silly, so I may have to get the empty cartridges and a syringe like you did! I have the Rose Gold AL Sport with a broad nib, and a Brass Kaweco Special with a Stub nib. My favorite color is green, so I was very tempted to get the new Lilliput, but restrained myself because it was not my favorite shade! We need to stop buying the same pens, LOL

I haven’t decided on a Lilliput just yet, but I will probably go for the brass/copper version. I have the brass sport and love it. It was nice to see the bronzer I’m have the iridescent pearl which I had to rgeous purpleorder from Cult Pens in the UK! I just ordered the Queens Jubilee Kaweco from them as well. I tend to like heavier pens, but I have to say that the iridescent is wonderful yo write with.

I've tried a variety of nib sizes and it doesn't really help that every brand and sometimes every individual nib is different, heh. Overall, I enjoy mediums the most, but they range considerably. I do like that lots of pens allow you to change to a new nib though! Then, I can buy multiple sizes and change them out when I'm in the mood for something different.

I bought myself a Kaweco special edition violet. It's my favourite colour. I also bought the kaweco summer purple ink bottle. I haven't inked her yet but I used the ink in my Twsbi transparent purple instead with a medium nib. It's a gorgeous colour. I haven't inked my violet pen because I'm so in between blue iroshizuku asa GAO & purple. I'm torn.

i have a few Kaweco sports already so I'm not going to purchase the sport. The Liliput, although quite cute, looks like it would be super small for my large man hands. I do like that Sailor Ink. Reminds me of one of my Manyo colors, i forget the name of it. but it's similarly light and blue-ish.

Hmmm, I liked the look of the Liliput better, but I doubt I'd ever buy a pen that small. I have large hands and I seem to prefer pens that are a bit more substantial. My biggest takeaway here is that ink samples are a thing. And now that I know that, well, who can foresee the long-term ramifications, lol. I *may* end up with 42,000 colors of ink, is all I'm saying.

Yes, ink samples are a game changer! I’m working on editing the videos swatching these at the moment. I’ve bought them at Goulet Pens but Pen Chalet also has them! It’s a really good way to test inks out without committing to a whole bottle or box of cartridges. Goulet especially is great because they sell sets by color or type or brand or their best sellers, as well as individual vials if you know exactly which inks you want to try.

Ooh, that’s a good idea! I’ve seen some DIY options on youtube for how to seal them up, but I don’t know if I’d trust that.
