Detail
Minimalist, yet surprisingly flexible - the Supra is almost entirely machined brass, with just the nib unit as an exception. Very clever design means it can be made into two different lengths, and the cap screws securely onto either end, at either length.
With the middle extender fitted, it's a full-size pen, with plenty of space for long cartridges or a standard converter. It would be comfortable for almost anyone to use unposted like this, as long as you don't mind a fairly heavy pen. You can still screw the cap on the back to securely post it, but the result is really quite long.
Remove the extension tube, and it's a short pen. Quite a normal width, but short and stubby to make it more pocketable. In this format, unless you have very tiny hands, you'll probably find it more comfortable to use posted, with the cap screwed on the back to extend the barrel to a more usable length. It's still heavy - brass is dense stuff! In this short layout, there's only room for a mini Kaweco converter, and only the shorter type of international standard cartridges can be used. Without the extender, it very much resembles a wider version of the wonderful pocketable Kaweco Liliput.
Kaweco's raw unfinished brass means the pen is very tough, and will tarnish and age beautifully. It will need lots of attention and polishing if you want to keep it bright and shiny, or just let it age and wear - there's something special about well-used brass.
The nib is large, and made from stainless steel - not interchangeable as with most other Kaweco pens, but it is still a screw-in nib unit for easy replacing if you ever need to.
Dimensions: full length capped: 128mm; full length posted: 162mm; weight: 50g. Short length capped: 97mm; short length posted: 130mm; weight: 40g.
Supplied in a metal Kaweco gift box with a blue short international standard cartridge.
