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.
I'm still a newbie and started with a Pilot Kakuno but I have been loving Twsbi!! It writes smoother and and is more comfortable in my hands personally.
This is my 5th TWSBI Eco Pen and the first with an extra fine nib. I love it just as much as my others with a fine, medium, broad and stub nibs. The writing is so smooth on the paper and I love how the all clear body takes on the color of the ink.
It was a gift to my aunt and she said it was beautiful. I incorrectly paired this pen with the twsbi pipe, which does not go with the eco. I also got her a few pilot 3ml ink samples. I hope she was able to ink up her new pen with that small amount of ink in a small container. Next time I'll do a little more research before clicking the "buy" button. :-)
This pen is perfect for someone who is interested in fountain pens and does not know where to start, it is also great for the experienced enthusiast who wants to add another pen to their collection. The filling system is great and holds a lot of ink which makes it perfect for students who need a reliable writer to take notes with or for the average person who likes a high ink capacity. Cleaning this pen is also extremely easy because TWSBI includes a wrench in the box which can be used to take apart the pen, the nib and feed is also friction fit which means you can easily take them out to clean.
