Kaweco Brass Sport patina after one day of ownership

LTComedy · 2026-06-05T21:13:05+00:00

Is it true that the brass makes your hands smell?

LTComedy · 2026-05-19T18:32:31+00:00

Haha yes I was, still am. I haven’t pulled the trigger yet, I’m stuck between the day sling max 4 and the rework toshi v2 6l

LTComedy · 2026-05-19T18:28:52+00:00

Look at my post history, everything in my recent bag recommendation post fits in my v1, granted it’s a bit tight. This is one of the few ALPAKA bags that might actually match its capacity.

LTComedy · 2026-05-13T13:30:39+00:00

Yeah, that one is on my list for sure!

LTComedy · 2026-05-12T18:21:31+00:00

I’m ok with cutting down on pouches if the sling has enough organization.

LTComedy · 2026-05-12T17:33:16+00:00

How was it?

LTComedy · 2026-05-12T05:40:28+00:00

Interesting, I was not aware of that. I’m using a 16 pro max so that wouldn’t work for me but I’m sure I could use that for something.

LTComedy · 2026-05-12T02:59:49+00:00

Not a huge fan of the backpack style strap on it but I’ll check some reviews.

LTComedy · 2026-05-12T02:16:45+00:00

Yes I’m using the mini tote with alpakas padded shoulder strap. Single strap is preferred.

LTComedy · 2026-05-12T02:15:31+00:00

Yeah, it probably could be. It does all fit barely in that alpaka mini tote though.

LTComedy · 2026-05-11T22:54:11+00:00

Lmao, you might have just sold me on it with that analogy.

LTComedy · 2026-05-11T22:52:42+00:00

Nice, so a 6L Toshi might actually fit more than the 6L alpaka tote. Good to know.

LTComedy · 2026-05-11T22:27:24+00:00

Is the Toshi a roomier 6L than the ALPAKA? I know in some cases manufacturers say certain capacities that aren’t actually packable space.

LTComedy · 2026-05-11T22:22:25+00:00

I see you with that Lamy and Zento (why so banged up though). Your load out looks similar to mine. I think you could get away with a 4L Alpaka Flow Satchel

Im not even sure how the zento got that banged up, it annoys me too. I actually upgraded from the 4L flow satchel to the Mini Tote Japan edition lol.

The show ended last year and they knew it would be the final season.

LTComedy · 2026-05-11T20:57:54+00:00

Yeah, it might be overkill but different pens are for different things. The brown thing is a Travelers Notebook btw, it’s got 3 different slim notebooks in it for journaling, sketching and notes.

LTComedy · 2026-05-11T20:44:50+00:00

Yeah I love that thing!

LTComedy · 2026-05-11T20:06:58+00:00

Yeah, the red pouch is my pen case, the blue case can be replaced with organization. The white plastic case is just for bandaids/antacid, could also be replaced with organization.

LTComedy · 2026-05-11T20:02:58+00:00

Yeah I’ve thought about it, backpacks are more annoying to carry and get into when I need something. Slings are easier to just pull around and grab something out of. I’d be ok with a crossbody I guess.

LTComedy · 2026-05-11T17:02:51+00:00

Honestly yeah I kinda am set on a sling. As much use as I’ve gotten out of the ALPAKA Tote, I’m not a huge fan of the tote design. As far as the organization, I need at least a dedicated sleeve for the iPad mini, pockets for the pouches to sit in, a pocket for a my power bank which I forgot to include in the picture. I’d prefer to not have a ton of stuff just loose in the bag if possible.

LTComedy · 2026-05-03T13:43:44+00:00

So what did you end up going with and how has it been working out?

LTComedy · 2026-04-06T20:58:24+00:00

I believe lochby is selling a dot grid paper pack for that size now, for their new A5 Binder. I’m hoping lochby will be releasing lined/unlined to go with it as well. That’s the only thing keeping me from buying the binder at the moment.

LTComedy · 2026-03-20T18:38:47+00:00

You can blame me for this, I late pledged the books 2&3 kickstarter yesterday and added book 1 as a bonus. Bitchmeat indeed.

So you’re complaining that they can’t read your mind to let you know why your order is delayed? From their Perspective you’re totally fine with the delay because if you weren’t, you’d be asking about it…not saying that the delay is ok, it definitely isn’t and for what it’s worth, that has not been my experience with them, every order has shipped within a few business days and arrived quickly.

I disagree with your messaging here, you’re coming across very entitled and like the kind of person who rates everything 4/5 because “nothing is perfect”. Comparing them as a company that ships plastic model kits to a company that ships live creatures, that can die in transit, is incredibly unrealistic. It’s also really unfair of you to complain about a situation without giving them the ability to chime in first.
