AsvineP36 Titanium Fountain Pen Piston Filling, Irdium Mediun Nib Clear Transparent Acrylic Smooth Writing Pen Case Set, Torpedo shape

The Asvine P36 fountain pen is a smooth and stylish pen I bought for sketching. It has a clear acrylic body with titanium alloy that makes it light and durable. It has a screw-on cap that secures the nib and prevents it from drying out. It has a Bock nib that can create different line widths and shades with ease. It writes well on various types of papers. It has a piston-filling mechanism that allows me to use bottled ink only, but it has a large ink capacity. It had a hard start at first, but it flowed smoothly and consistently after a few strokes. It has a comfortable weight and balance that feels good in the hand. I give this pen four out of five stars and recommend it to sketchers who want a versatile pen.I also want to mention the seller’s help and customer care, which were excellent. They responded quickly to my queries and gave me useful tips on how to use and maintain the pen. They were friendly and professional, and I would buy from them again.

I've had this almost 18 months now and it's superb. I probably use it more than any other pen. It looks great, even nicer than in the pictures. The nib is good, no problems whatsoever and nice to write with. The piston works really well. It's practical - I take it to work with me and it's great because it holds loads of ink and being a demonstrator, you can see how much is left. Plus it's really well made, I've never had any leaks or ink in the cap etc.I would highly recommend!

This is my first fountain pen for decades and it is good to be reunited with smooth and expressive inking.I docked one star from this pen' rating owing to the poor mating of the pen top with the body. Don't most people slip the top onto the rear of their pen after removing it? The designers of this pen didn't seem to accommodate those of us who do. Pushed onto the body, the top is an awkwardly rocking fit. I've dropped the opened pen a couple of times now by picking it up by the top, only to have the pen body drop out onto the floor. Inadvertently, this tested the pen's ruggedness as well as proving that not a drop of ink was expelled. It's solidly built!Filling is a doddle with the piston system, and there is no thin rubber bladder to perish and leak everywhere (as on my last Parker fountain pen, a major reason I abandoned the genre).I find the M nib is just right for my handwriting, and despite being left-handed the nib never scratches or digs the paper.It's pretty decent value for money, given the titanium metal, the high quality finish and attractive design.

I've only used this pen a little, and I'm already in love with it.First off, the design - it's stellar. Nice, clear and clean, with metal accents. The ink window is massive, and the acrylic is thick yet transparent.Onto the ergonomics. The clip works nicely, and the grip section, despite being metal, isn't slippery in the slightest. The pen does not post, but it is a good size for writing with for long periods of time. The pen isn't super heavy but definitely has some weight to it.The piston in the pen works very well and looks like it can be unscrewed using a TWSBI wrench. Not that I'll need to open it for a while - it was definitely greased properly after manufacture.The nib's performance will vary greatly depending on which size/brand you choose. I went with a Bock broad on mine. It wrote finer and drier than most broads I've used, but the benefit of this type of nib is that it can be easily swapped. Placing another broad nib in the pen from another brand (Platinum) has turned this pen into one of my favourites.All in all, an amazing pen, and a must-buy at this price.

I have a large collection of fountain pens, this P36 is the nicest one of them all. It writes so smooth, looks & feel it does not get better at any price.

Decent pen, good flow and easy to see the ink level. Smooth flow when writing and I’m not a fountain pen aficionado at all but it does the job well

I use it for my office work, it's amazing writing instrument

These recent Asvine pens are truly remarkable for the price point. I now own two :-)
