Add me to the drawing too, please!
The picture of the Lilliput next to the Sport says a lot. Good comparison and analysis! I like this little pen, it has potential for getting a lot of use on the go.
I forgot to add a picture with the Passaporto, Sport Classic and Liliput together. Original post edited to include it.

Yeah...thats a small pen! But it looks nice! I'll enter the giveaway i guess.
Will
Great review!
If only it didn't require so much twisting
KrazyIvan, another thorough and comprehensive review. As usual fantastic macro photography. On your penstand the Kaweco Liliput looks fairly normal but in your hand or beside a Lamy Vista its true tiny dimensions are revealed !! It is a very pleasing design. I suppose the screw cap could become tedious at times.

I love my Kaweco Sports, the nibs are very smooth writing. This pen also looks very cool, but I doubt I'd ever pay the retail price for one. Thanks for the chance to win one.
As much as I love my Kaweco sports in the summer when I get to lose the dress shirt, I can see the draw to this mini. Did I understand you properly that its nibs can be swapped with the Kaweco sport? Inconceivable! How can something that tiny sport that big of a nib?
Please include me in the contest, I would love to give it a try!
Thanks!
Nope, I never said it was interchangeable with the Sport nibs. I am looking at the nibs side-by-side and actually, they look the same size. You would have to pull the nib/knock it out of the section though. Interestingly enough, the sections of the Liliput and Sport are the same exact length just different diameters.

Speaking again about Chinese Pens, the Jinhao Stealth looks to be exactly the same size as the liliput, but has an aero filling mechanism; way cooler than a cartridge.
ah.... But then there is the Jinhao issue. I know the rest of you have had good luck with them, but I am 0 for 4 on Jinhao pens. On the other hand, every Kaweco I have had has been wonderful out of the box. The only thing good that I can say about my experience with Jinhao pens is that the nib on the x750 actually works pretty good on an Ahab.
I do, and I'm a big fan of it. In fact, I'm a big fan of all things Kaweco.
I hope to have my review done soon, and I already have another guest review of the Liliput lined up for next week. Nice review Ivan, and I generally agree with most of your findings. The size was a shocker (I do worry about losing it out of my pocket) but the build, writing quality, and even the dual threading are great.

Great review! Please enter me in the drawing. Thank you!
Great review of this adorable little pen! Now of course I want it even more... So I'm not really sure how to "use" a forum (i.e. how to post a reply in a normal fashion) so please forgive me if I have done it weird. Please count me in! This pen has been on my wish list for way too long now!
Thanks for giveaway and what a cool way to advertise this site. Hadn't seen it before. Would love to win a lilliputian pen so I can make tiny drawings.
Please enter me for the giveaway. I'm surprised little Darth Vader in the photo hasn't stolen it though - it would make a wicked light sabre!
I was inititally put off the Kaweco Sport by its lightness, but I now have a Sport Art Lapis which is one of my favourite pens. I love the way Kaweco goes back to Bauhaus values, very similar to Lamy in that, though quite different in the actual designs - very clean lines, very simple, great integrity, and great nibs (as long as you don't want flex).
