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 stealthy all-black 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.
Features:
Steel nib with a black finish.
Triangular ergonomic grip section.
Snap-on cap with a black metal Kaweco logo on top.
One blue ink cartridge is included.
This pen can also use a cartridge converter - available for purchase here: Standard International Converter

This is the perfect EDC pen when you are on the go. It's not small but definitely fits in any pocket. Light and easy to use. Cheap, so if you lose it you won't cry.
Got this with my Feb '22 inkmeister box. Very lightweight if you think you will use it to write all day but overall smooth nib. Mine is a medium and I think it will work well as one of my pens for notes and letter writing. I do prefer a little more e For someone who is new to using fountain pens and finding what works best for them, it is a good starter pen! Using one The "Soda Pop" Sheen ink that came as a sample with the box as well and it works pretty well!
Large eight sided cap prevents rolling, 16 sides on the barrel gives almost a grooved feel. Nice three flats in the grip area gives it a nice hold. Surprisingly light weight even though it is a bit bulky in size. A very serviceable pen at a good price for use at home, not something I'm likely to carry around, particularly give that there is no clip. August Inkredible box, with medium nib and converter supplied.
