Twsbi Classic Being Redesigned To Post


Algester

Recommended Posts

If people have not yet checked the new TWSBI website, the Classic isnt listed in their pen categories yet well the reason is that they are now "upgrading" the pen to post probably the o-rings on the piston knob but that... looks kind of awkward... so I'm not sure yet probably on the third week of August there's new info on this one

Here is a pic of my new TWSBI Classic, I just got yesterday. It does have 2 grooves with 2 o-rings installed in the end cap. This allows the cap to post securely, but if the cap rotates so does the end cap. This does not bother me, just putting that out there. They say you will able to get the upgraded end caps separately. I love the pen so far, seem more comfortable in my had then the 540's and the 580.

That looks dangerous...

 

It seems it'd post very high. How does it feel length/balance-wise?

The pen might be a little back heavy, I don't really notice it. The cap seems pretty light, not like the 580 cap. This pen with it posted, in my bigger hands seems very comfortable. It is way more comfortable than the 580 for sure. I think I will be getting another.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
