New at Bob Slate Stationer:

Kaweco LUNAR Sport Blue fountain pens in Light Blue and Shadow Blue!

Lunar Sport takes a giant leap into the Kaweco standard range, with two additional stunning hues. While the Shadow Blue, with its deep and vibrant color, is reminiscent of mysterious nebula forming in the depth of space, Light Blue captivates with its more subtle and softer qualities like forget-me-nots in full bloom.

Both colors are imbued with a fascinating color-changing iridescent effect, making the blue and purple hues dance around the fountain pen depending on where the light meets it. This not only leaves room for impressive contrasts, but also makes you see the Lunar series in a new light at every glance.

Made in Germany.

New at Bob Slate Stationer: Kaweco Collection Sport in Marble Ocean fountain pen!

The Marble Ocean combines dynamic green and blue hues, mirroring the ocean's large variety of colors, with vivid ease. Crystal-clear turquoise water, cerulean ocean depths, and fluorescent wonders from both wildlife and flora, the Marble Ocean draws a current of inspiration from all of them.

Via an inventive manufacturing process, every single fountain pen is made unique due to its one-of-a-kind color gradient. Like hidden treasure under cool waves, the gold-plated nib, with its warm undertones, compliments the rest of the pen.

While supplies last.

Made in Germany.
