Originally released as a dip pen around the year 1900, the Perkeo has been revived as a stylish entry-level fountain pen perfect for students and beginners. It carries on Kaweco's hallmark combination of classy and offbeat styling elements with its octagonal cap, 16-sided barrel, and green color scheme. Its triangular grip section makes it easy to hold at the best angle for smooth ink flow and effortless writing. The transparent threaded section where the grip meets the barrel acts as a hidden ink window, letting you check the ink level without fully unscrewing the barrel.
This pen can also use a cartridge converter - available for purchase here: Standard International Converter

I am very pleased with the quality and feel of the pen, but moreso impressed with how this Perkeo writes. Smooth, with a good amount of flow, I can see this definitely becoming one of my go-to, everyday writers. I really like the jungle green also which I coupled with a silver clip and filled with Monteverde California Teal ink. Sharp!
This pen is so lightweight and beautiful that it is perfect for a student who has to take notes constantly. When paired with Visconti's Orchard Blossom ink in the fine nib the ink flow is so light that you can write in textbooks, on receipt tape, and on thinner sheets of paper without having to blot every time you want to turn the page.
lightweight writes well and the faceted body makes it easy to grip
