    Default Which Kawecos wear over time?

    I've been thinking about purchasing a Kaweco AL Stonewashed Black pen. But it'd be cool to make all of the wear on my own as well. Does the Kaweco AL matte black pen wear well, or is it only the Brass and Stonewashed that gain wear? Thank you!

    Fountain pen quest (a blog at fpquest.com) has a few posts about the Al sports, I know he mentioned the raw aluminium wears well. He also has a stonewashed but I don't think your particular question has been addressed. It may be worth a look.

    I purchased the AL Sport in Matte Blue. After a few months in the coins and keys pocket, it looks like the stonewashed version. Keep in mind, however, that when you uncap it, the finish covered by the cap is in perfect condition.

    I have the aluminum, not the raw one, and there is some wear. Not a lot but some. It will be a long time before it's as worn as the stone washed, but there is some
