The Kaweco company (Koch, Weber & Co. Heidelberg) was founded in 1883 and is thereby one of the oldest companies in its sector. It has continued on into the present to successfully combine tradition and innovation in the making of high quality writing utensils. The Kaweco pens are very well known and immediately recognizable because of their octagonal shape and the round metal logo “KA WE CO” on the end of the barrel.

The super high quality chased nibs (and regulator) for these pens are manufactured by the traditional Heidelberg company Peter Bock AG, while the intensely coloured inks, which are also of the highest quality, were developed in an ink laboratory especially for Kaweco.

The distinctive metal knurling on its cap and barrel give this glossy black classic writing instrument from the 1940s a conspicuous stylishness. All the Kaweco Dia2 Chrome metal parts are high quality chrome plated, including the spring steel clip. This fountain pen has a degree of heft that makes it sit very nicely in the hand when writing with it. We also carry the matching KAWECO DIA2 CHROME BALLPOINT PEN as well as the multifunctional pen KAWECOMAT DIA2 CHROME.
