Ka-we-co was a modified acronym out of the founders' names and the abbreviation for company. In the 1980's, the owners decided to remake the old classics in the same style as the past award- winning designs, which are now available as exclusive items. The range includes fountain pens, tungsten ball pens, propelling pencils and clutch pencils.
