Interesting design - lovely writer
First, the Liliput is tiny and probably even smaller than you are imagining. It's somewhere around the size of a golf pencil and a cigarette in size. It's a similar size to the 1920s Wahl ring top metal pens (it's actually even shorter if compared when posted). If you don't like writing with small pens, this one is not for you.The body and cap are all metal and they are very well machined. The body has subtle threads on the back so the cap can be posted on the threads, making the pen a comfortable length. It comes with a cartridge and none of my mini standard international converters fit in it. It does not come with a clip.The fine is very fine. More like an extra fine or a Japanese fine. The nib is moderately smooth, especially for being such a fine point. It's closer to a Pilot than a Pelikan feel.Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. It feels unique in my collection and all around well-designed for what it is meant to be.

Stunning Looks and Great Performance
My first fountain pen, and I'm not disappointed in the slightest! This offering from Kaweco caught my eye due to the unique finish, and the one I got is just as catching. The varied blues of the body go well with the copper clip, offering a nice contrast.As for the writing experience, the nib works well, being smooth and consistent while in use. As the nib is interchangeable I might experiment with a finer or broader nib, but the medium size works well.My only complaint is that it's a bit on the small side, even for someone with hands on the smaller side. However I won't hold that against the pen, as it is meant to be a smaller pen, but people, especially people with larger hands, should consider this before buying. The Supra from Kaweco also comes in a Fireblue finish, while being substantially larger. However that does come at a hefty premium over the Liliput.

Beautiful pen and my go to writer!
I'm in love with this pen! I had been eyeing it for a while and the deal here was too good to pass up. I have sma hands which makes this pen super comfortable and I love how small and sleek it is to carry. It's also the best when I pull it out to use and people are surprised that it's a pen! The nib is incredibly smooth and writes like a dream and the weight is perfect for such a tiny package!

Super Duper light pocket pen.
This is my second Lililput. The first was in copper. This one is MUCH much lighter. I am not sure what metal this is made of. I assumed it was stainless steel. Based on the weight, though, it feels more like aluminum. The pen feels like it weighs almost nothing. Much lighter than a Fischer space pen, which is brass with a coating. Functions the same as the copper one. It is very compact. You will probably want to post it to write more than a few words. That entails unscrewing the cap and screwing it on the end. Feels very solid, but is an extra step compared to pulling it off and sticking it on the end. Very portable, though. A true pocket pen. No clip, so not for the front shirt pocket. Cap will not open up on you. I'm using it with a fine grade replacement nib, and it is writing pretty well. Note that the converter gets very poor reviews. I plan on refilling the cartridge it came with using a blunt-tip syringe and Noodler's ink. Will also eventually get additional cartridges. Ink seems to last for a decent amount of time with fine nib and only occasional use. Will spend quicker with the Medium nib. This pen seems to have been well-made. I will see how it wears in the pocket. My copper one did get some dings and nicks to the extent I worry about the threading on the end possibly eventually getting damaged.

Awesome little pen. Might be a bit thin for some.
Excellent writer with high quality fit and finish. Very well-balanced when the cap is posted. The pen is a bit thin for my taste. If you like the thickness of a Pilot G2, this might be a bit thin for you since it's about the width of a cigarette (I'm assuming, since I don't smoke). It's similar to a Fisher Bullet Space Pen in thickness at the grip. I'd recommend the big brother of this pen, the Kaweco Supra if you don't appreciate thin pens. Same length and carryability, but more comfortable for larger fingers. My Liliput is developing a beautiful patina. Yes, your hands might smell like copper when you first handle it, but as it develops a patina, the smell greatly diminished. I'm not bothered at all by it even though it was a little much when I first started handling it. The pen carries well in my pocket. No clip, but nib pointed up to avoid ink spills. The pen still writes immediately whenever I take it out. Overall, a very good pen, just a bit thin for my tastes.

Unique and beautiful
I was worried about receiving a lightly blued pen . I was happy to see that my version has vivid colour. Will be interesting to see how this one ages. There was a slight oil sheen when removed from packaging. I have not written with the pen yet . Will update Reviewwhen I do.Update 1:Writing with this pen had a more scratchy feel. Perhaps this has more to do with my sample of nib. Sometimes the ink would run out mid word while writing . I needed to pause to allow the ink to return to the nib head. I am hoping that there is a run in period and that things will be smoother as I write more.Holding this pen feels Like holding a ball point. It is ok to write with it . As a comparison, the Lammy safari or the Kaweco sport has a better feel.Update 2:Writing feels has improved. It is smoother and ink flow has also improved. I will consider that this pen on the scratchy side. Lammy safari is smoother .

Super cute
I highly recommend the clip. It’s super small and perfect for my moleskine sized notebook. It’s the only fountain pen I’ve found so far that fits the pen loop. My hands are not small, I wear XL gloves, and I find it comfortable to write with. However, I got it in a medium and it is SO wet. I had to order an extra fine nib because this thing is like a fire hose. Other than that, 10/10 would recommend. It’s also much cheaper here than I’ve seen other places. I’ve seen it priced over twice as much in a lot of cases.

Très bon stylo, belle finition, fonctionnel
Minuscule stylo qui se glisse dans une poche de veste ou de pantalon. Faites attention de ne pas l'y oublier lorsque vous mettrez vos vêtements à la machine - il est si petit et si léger! Très bonne plume en acier, exactement ce que je cherchais.

Excelente para viajar
Excelente escritura, inmediata y sin cortes a pesar de ser plumín EF, que curiosamente escribe más grueso que un F. Elegí el color plata por su elegancia y simpleza. No pesa nada, es súper elegante y discreta. Cerrada es minúscula. Es más pequeña que la sport.Puntos en contra: rueda sobre la mesa con total facilidad, no tiene clip/broche y fácilmente rueda. La única que viene con broche es la de Bronce. Se raya con facilidad el aluminio en contacto con otros metales. Recuerden: se usa solo con cartucho.

Used?
Love the pen, but unscrewing it shows a significantly brighter finish inside; as this pen is known to change colour with use this was the first suggestion it was a used pen, then when first filled (with turquoise ink) it was clear that a dark blue or black had been in the pen previously. I had to write half a page before the turquoise came through as shown in the sample image attached. The fact that it was a used pen was not declared on the listing. No warranty form was included. The included medium nib writes well. It is also easy to change to other Kaweco nibs of various sizes. This pen does best with Kaweco or Pelikan 4001 inks. (I have also used Ferris Wheel, Wordsworth & Black, and J. Herbin inks with it). Love its diminutive size and the heft of the steel barrel.
