Asvine P20 Piston Fountain Pen Amber Resin

If you like this style of Acrylic fountain pens I don't think you will be dissapointed with this one. It has a large diameter that is comfotrable in hand and has a excellent ink capacity. The weight in hand is even better when the barrel is full of ink. It is a piston filler so no need for cartridges or converters and there is a conveinent inspection window to let you know when you need to refill the ink. It borrows its looks from the Delta Duna so if that bothers you, then you may not appreciate this pen but its price is barely 10% of the Duna. I got an extra fine nib that writes fairly smooth. it is not amazing but for the price of this pen it is certainly better than you would expect. This is a great everyday pen if you want something that works great and looks a little fancy at a fair price. It might make a good gift for someone that wants to learn to use a fountain pen but doesn't want a cheap looking $10 pen or does not want to fuss with cartridges and converters. Pairing this pen with a nice bottle of ink would make a great gift, however the box for this pen is a cheap plastic transparent plastic box so if gifting, the box is underwhelming compared to the pen itself.

This pen is way nicer than its price point suggests. Asvine is building a reputation for excellent quality and it's well deserved. They make beautiful, very well-made pens with perfect ink flow and smooth nibs. I'm glad I came across this brand - I've had nothing but good experiences. The extra fine nib is a true extra fine and perfectly smooth, straight out of the box without having to tune the nib (that's a first for me, at this price point). This orange resin is beautiful to look at and comfortable to hold - it has a nice substantial feel to it. You could easily mistake this for a much more expensive pen. It would make a wonderful gift.

Wow, what an excellent writer! Smooth with the *tiniest* touch of feedback - which I enjoy. Barely noticeable- just in comparison to the Asvine V126 (F) which has none. I think this is such a pretty pen, too - I can hardly believe it’s under $30. Highly recommended.

This pen is very appealing with gold colored furniture. It has a simple conical fineal. It is machined acrylic nicely done and has some chatoyance. It is a piston filler. The fine nib is a Western fine, smoothe writer and wet enough. It does not post well but the pen body is long enough unposted though I wish it did post. The pen is a good writer and only a discriminating eye could distinguish it from a much more expensive pen. It's in my rotation to stay.

It is a good pen i got the M nib and it writes amazing with diamine inks and parkers ink, it rest comfortably on my hand and its not heavy at all I was able to write long paragraphs without my hand cramping i recommend it, its a nice fun and simple pen , i did minus a star due to it coming with old ink i seem to have this problem with asvine this is the 2nd time in a row.

This pen is so good, I just had to write a review. I've purchased several (relatively) inexpensive fountain pens in the past (Hong Dian, PenBBS, Jinhao), so I'll review this with that price level in mind. (I advise anyone who buys fountain pens to flush their pen first with water and a tiny drop of dish soap, as this can avoid many problems associated with first time use.) Quite simply, this pen is as good or better than pens that cost twice as much. -The Extra Fine steel nib is extremely smooth and writes perfectly right out of the box. Required zero tuning, tweaking, or smoothing. Not scratchy at all and puts out a good amount of ink to enable a little shading on the right kind of papers. Not as fine as Pilot EF nibs, but "fine", "extra fine", "medium", etc are all relative, so keep that in mind. There is no standard. -The piston mechanism works perfectly, and is something you don't usually find in a pen at this price point outside of TWSBY pens, and this has much higher quality acrylic than TWSBY. -The clip, while some might find unappealing aesthetically, is extremely functional. The little roller can easliy clip over larger loops and surfaces with without snagging, and securely holds in place with good tension. -The section has a somewhat unique shape in that it tapers and then straightens out toward the end, and has no "stop" for your fingers. I find this comfortable, but others may not, so be aware. Zoom in on the pictures of the listing and you'll see. -It appears to be turned acrylic, so you won't find ugly and scratchy injection molding lines. This is something (turned acrylic) that is typically found in pens that cost $50+ to start. -The acrylic is really attractive. It has a translucency and sparkle that's really nice in the light. -The ink window is highly functional. Crystal clear and you can see what color you have inked up and if you're running low. I really cannot recommend this pen enough. If you're thinking of buying something "fancy" like a Leonardo or Narwhal or something, give this a try, as it's nearly the same quality at a fraction of the price. You'll be able to use it at work without feeling guilty or worring about it getting lost or stolen. I would also recommend PenBBS pens, as they have a similar level of quality and price point, and have a huge selection of styles and filling mechanisms.

The threading of the piston and the blind cap are badly designed resulting in the blind cap coming off and/or unscrewing the piston from the barrel. Happened right away out of the box and is just bad design. Other piston fillers don’t have this problem that I’m aware of. Do not recommend unless they fix this core design of this. It’s a shame because it’s otherwise a handsome pen, the amber is nice and their nibs are on average great or easily tuned. I have two V126s now that’s a great pen, wish they made an equivalent quality piston filler.

This pen is a wonderful writer. The medium nib on mine could not be smoother or more effortless to use. Just lightly touch nib to paper and the pen does the work. And, inverted, it is just as good, with a fine line. As for build quality, it is excellent with an ink window that is visible with the cap on.

The pen is amazing. Good look, nice weight, writes well. But the clip should be a little longer. It is a bit short and therefore very stiff and the wheel rotates hard because of the short length. Making itba little bit longer would fix this problem.

Muy bien.

Produto excelente e de boa qualidade. Sensível ao tipo de papel, pode ser levemente áspera na escrita em papel de baixa qualidade. Muito bonita, chama a atenção. Escrever com a tampa acoplada deixa a caneta um pouco desequilibrada e com a tampa pouco firme na traseira. Prefiro escrever sem a tampa (unposted). Ótimo custo benefício. Recomendo.

Excellente surprise, la plume glisse parfaitement sur le papier, bonne prise en main. En espérant qu'il tienne sur la durée.

Looks good - but disappointed - ink filling system poorly designed so doesn't really work - threw pen in garbage.
