About TWSBI:
TWSBI 三文堂 (San Wen Tong) is one of our earliest collection even before the store. TWSBI started as an OEM manufacturer for different western brands, and around 2009, they decided to start their own brand. With 50 years of experience in pen making, they took to fountain pen forums and gather users’ feedback. It was said that Pelican M800 was the model they were inspired. Most of their pens are transparent, so it’s really fun to see the ink color and it lasts for a very long time.
The name 三文堂 (San Wen Tong) comes from the Hall of the Three Rare Treasures, created by Emperor Qianlong as a memorial to three great masterpieces of Chinese calligraphy. The initials of the name “San Wen Tong” was reversed and thus turned into "TWS". The last letters "Bi" was added with its literal meaning of "writing instruments" in Chinese. Thus combining the two segments, creating TWSBI.
This is my first Twsbi and I am impressed. Consistent feed. A wet feed. Which coming from Lamy is much appreciated. It's a very smooth writing experience. The poison fill mechanism, though intimidating at first, eventually makes returning to standard converters look not fun. It's super easy to fill. Super easy to clean and flush. I initially inked it with Lennon Tool Bar Yen Ran and oh my. How beautiful. Highly recommend both. This pen and that ink (if you want the Kobe Bryant of shimmer ink).
First time fountain pen user here! The pen is so much fun to use and I like seeing the ink and mechanisms within the pen. I like that it provides some shading to my lines.
I havent used it yet but it’s definitely lighter to write with than my TWSBI Diamond.
