Another reviewer here talked about spending an hour or so preparing the nib to his liking. I've had no problems with it in that regard, but I don't have the standards some might and even though I'm using a heavy ink with a fine point it's flowing smoothly, not scratching or skipping. German manufacturers are known for their excellent quality control, so I doubt the other reviewer got a defective item. Perhaps he's using a different type of paper than I am. I was really surprised how much I enjoyed the 1.1 stub. It’s probably my favorite of all the Kaweco nibs that I have tried. Its a great nib that has the right amount of ink flow so that the line remains relatively crisp and shows off a decent amount of shading in the ink color. If I had to choose between an EF or the 1.1 stub, I would choose the 1.1 stub. My ongoing taste change in nib sizes is very likely due to Franz-fluence (Franz’s influence for those who are pun adverse.)

For those who enjoy the durability and heft of the aluminium, the Kaweco is a good, solid upgrade. The Sport is a great starter pen, but for fans of the Kaweco Sport, the AL is an obvious choice to have to try out. You won’t regret it.

It’s also easy to take the end apart when you want to clean it, so if the ink does dry in the nib, it’s just a case of taking it apart and washing it out. This should prevent any issues from disrupting your flow of writing.

Pam: Disclaimer, the EF of my Kaweco was too broad for my taste. Given that, it was still a good nib for daily use. I used the pen on cheap office paper and it performed admirably.

I very much enjoy it when I am in the mood for a “bolder” EF line to show off the ink color in my hobonichi. This German EF nib does require me to change the size of my handwriting, ever so slightly, to accommodate the “bolder” line, which results ins a “bubblier” handwriting for me.
