Recently I got the TWISBI 580 diamond post-104665-0-82290900-1370902048_thumb.jpg this pen is a very good pen, the TWISBI flows over the paper like butter leaving one of the most smooth writing experiences i've ever had with a pen a close second behind my m200. post-104665-0-08110800-1370902074_thumb.jpg For the overall writing experience, 9 out of 10.

The TWISBI'S box post-104665-0-03667000-1370901966_thumb.jpg is the coolest one i've ever had a pen delivered in, it is almost like its own little display case. For appearance on arrival, 10 out of 10.

The TWISBI is a very modern, cool looking pen, as you can see the ink moving throughout the ink sac. I also LOVE the TWISBI symbol on the cap, but there is one major problem, the cap cannot be posted, personally that is a HUGE problem for me, so the pen itself is not all that greatly balanced. for overall appearance 7 out of 10

For the cost of the pen, it is a great buy you can buy one new for only 50$, which is a very fair price for this pen,for cost, 9 out of 10.

The filling mechanism on this pen is great,post-104665-0-95668500-1370902095_thumb.jpg piston fill, which works out to make it look much cooler with the ink just resting in the ink sac, for filling, 9 out of 10.

For the overall experience of the pen, 44 out of 50, a great grade for a great pen

TWSBI makes a great pen. I just purchased a VAC 700 with a medium nib. It is as smooth as silk, and it posts. For my 580, I purchased a butter smooth CI nib ground from a broad nib from Pendelton Brown. It's wonderfuI, much nicer than a 1.1 stub. Pendelton Brown does great work.

      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
