Description:
Delike is a Chinese fountain pen manufacturer who has been around since about 2017. They have gained a reputation for having better quality fountain pens than many Chinese brands and use some interesting acrylics such as this Koi semi-translucent material that I've seen on more expensive brands. Delike also manufactured some of Moonman's early pens though the brands are separate. See: Pen Vibe's blog: The Beginners Guide to Delike Fountain Pens to for more detailed information.
Like many Chinese companies, they also have a reputation for copying models from established brands. This Delike Alpha is almost identical to the Kaweco Sport. The only differences are that the barrel is slightly longer than the Sport, it has a rounded finial instead of Kaweco's flat one and there is no medallion on the cap finial. Not surprisingly, the Alpha is no longer available as Kaweco have started a copyright infringement case.
It's a cartridge converter model (included).
