Thank you everyone, for your great support. This indeed is a very fun project to having so many pen lovers involved.

We have set up online store in Taiwan, China, and USA so far. For other countries I still haven't figure out how to do. Buy from ebay from USA could be one way. We are checking if can buy by Visa from on line store in Taiwan... Or if someone is interested in collecting orders from your country then we ship in one lot to share and save shipping cost??? If you have any suggestion, pls let me know. Please send email to my speedy@twsbi.com account. Thanks again.

 

Start thinking your wish list for our third project.... The second project of vacuum filling pen is on the way, hahaha!

For latest update pls join our facebook <img src="https://img.skitch.com/20110916-nw8undh6ac3kh6q1ta7n62ii75.preview.png" alt="facebook badge" />

 

If any product related issue, pls send email to twsbiinc@gmail.com

I can't wait for this pen either, I will definitely buy this as soon as it becomes available. (Also, lets hope shipping does not cost $10, although I'd still buy it)

 

 

 

And sorry if this has been answered before, but what will be the selection of nibs? Any italic?

Maybe a demonstrator lever or button filler with a crystal clear sac? (At least 1/2 in jest.)

Thank you very much, very informative. It is not a small pen - when it is out, I will get a demo for sure!

I keep watching "the bay," but I ain't seen nuthin' of these yet. :crybaby:

 

Definitely need a few of these. And looking forward to the aluminum or brass piston assembly versions.

 

As far as colors, if this takes off (as I believe it will), how about many, many available colors? Give the Lamy and their Safari a run for their money! That's the ticket! :clap1:

alumimium piston, and more colors of barrel will come gradually.

I'm not generally a fan of demonstrators, but I REALLY like this one. And at <$40 I sense one in my future.

Music, verily, is the mediator between intellectual and sensuous life, the one incorporeal entrance into the high world of knowledge which comprehends mankind but which mankind cannot comprehend. -Ludwig van Beethoven

I want a stack of clear, piston filler demonstrators with an assortment of inks loaded. :-)

+1 (or possibly 2!) on this. Any chance of a UK agent/dealer?

I am in Taiwan, and am planning to mail a bunch of TWSBIs to friends in America once I can pick them up here. I think UK shipping is similar/lower cost (so about 40USD for pen and shipping from TW), so i'll probably post an offer to ship pens direct from Taiwan that I purchase at retail once I nail down logistics (read: once I get through the 10-15 friends i need to buy pens for lol). This is assuming of course that there are no other arrangements for international distribution that will yield a better price for the end user.

Speedy, is the nib available in EF (0.5mm line) or EEF (0.4mm) for those of us who like fine nibs? :)

      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
