Here’s a look at three metal fountain pens at opposite ends of the size spectrum from Kaweco — two Liliputs and a Supra. The Kaweco Liliput is a mini-fountain pen even smaller than the Kaweco Sport, while the new Supra is an expandable super-sized version of the Liliput.

Fountain Pen Follies 
I’m laughing, because I saw your Supra and thought, “What? Kaweco makes a double-nibbed Liliput?! WANT!”
Nope. Whew. Purchase averted. Hahaha.
Okay, now to finish reading the post.

It’s nearly big enough for that! They’d just need to tweak the design to add the second nib. Hmmmm. 🤔

Having initially discounted it, I might have to think again about the Supra!
Re the question of a converter in a Liliput, even if you could find one that fitted, I think it would hold so little ink as to not be worth bothering (I have two, one brass and one copper).

I think the Liliput would be a bit small for me. I have a Skyline Sport, and it feels like a feather compared to my other pens. Of all the Kaweco pens I’ve tried, the Dia2 is my favorite. I have not tried a Liliput nor a Supra though, at least not yet. The only way I’d see one in person is if I drove a few hours away. There are no pen stores around me, not even close. I think a retro clip like the Dia2 has, with the fireblue Supra would be fantastic. I know, they don’t have them yet. 🙂

Sounds like a road trip is in order. Fun! 🙂 I have a Dia2, and I agree it’s excellent, with a beautiful clip. I think you might like the AL-Sport, which weighs around 20 grams, but isn’t as thin as the Liliput (and can take a clip, I believe). I have some AL-Sport reviews on the blog, and also a dual review of the Dia2 that I did with a friend.

Laura, you my dear are a major enabler…lol. I love the look of all the pens, especially the fireblue finish. I have read they aren’t as pretty in person, as the photos might suggest. Do you find that to be true? Is the section more narrow than the Dia2? I love clips on my pens, and none of come with one it seems. Yes, I know you can buy one. At that price, you should get one with it. (and a converter too) I like the retro clip of the Dia2. That is by far their best looking clip. Will it fit on these pens? Sorry for so many questions.

I personally think the Fireblue looks better in person. I know that doesn’t help. 😀 Maybe wait till you could see one in person?
I don’t think the Liliput has an add-on clip. And I didn’t check whether the Sport clip fits. To me the Liliput is more of a purse or pocket pen so no clip is the way I’d go. The AL-Sport might be better if you want a clip because you could use that both ways.
I’m not sure about the Liliput and a converter. It’s not recommended, but it’s possible one could try the Kaweco silicone squeeze converter. This wasn’t my pen, so I didn’t. 🙂
