Pens and Pencils with Patina? Kaweco's Tough Offerings
So I have a kaweco sport fountain pen, and I'm really thrilled it has held up for 2 or 3 years now, rolling around in my pocket while I'm working, walking, on the playground with my kid, etc. I'm a bit disappointed the contact between the threads on the shaft and the inside of the cap is made of plastic - it doesn't fit securely, and I have to be careful to not turn it too much. Other than that, it's as solid as it looks.
The leadholders actually have a little sharpener inside the latch button on the back end.
The cap comes off, and there's a little angled blade in there, to maximize the gee whiz factor of this stellar design.
(It does get lead powder all over the place if you're not careful)
