Kaweco Liliput Clip

[Monier]

Hello fellow enthusiasts,

After receiving my Kaweco Liliput I was disappointed that a pocket pen didn't have a clip. For a while I tried to get used to it but I always felt a bit unsure when I put it in my pocket. For me as a student a 50 pen is a big investment and losing it would be bad so I finally came to the conclusion that I could do something. I'm a goldsmith apprentice so I have the resources and in just one hour I had made myself a slip-on-clip out of sterling silver and 14k gold as the Kaweco sport series has. Granted it wasn't as elegant as the stock clips but it was better than none at all.

I'm more than happy with my Liliput now and just wanted to share the results.

That's a nice work, actually. As long as it is functional, aesthetics matters little. Congrats!

That's a good solution. It's a little surprising that Kaweco doesn't make their own optional clip for these, as they do for their Sport pens. It would be good as a roll-stop when you lay it down, even if you don't care about putting it in a shirt pocket. And people who think the pen has a cleaner look without it could just not get it.

 

Maybe Kaweco will come out with their own clip some day, but you have a unique one.

That's an incredibly cool clip solution, Monier--and learning goldsmithing, wow!

Thanks and yes I like it a lot but it's hard to Juggle high school and apprenticeship at the same time.
