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.
A fun unique fountain pen. The spring loaded pump is super easy to use, and much cleaner than I expected, I have hardly any clean up after use, and its definitely more convenient than syringe style pens. My one criticism is that the nib feels very hard, and doesn't give much when compared to most European brands of fountain pens, though I bought a bold nib, and finer versions may not have this issue. Another stand out feature is the diameter of this pen: it is quite chunky. Though the section (the bit you hold) is very nicely shaped and comfortable to hold. Not my favorite pen, but a great buy and one of a kind
