Asvine P36 Titanium Fountain Pen

The pen that I purchased was with an Asvine extra fine nib. Usually I would have to fine tune the nib before I felt comfortable in writing. After filled with Diamine Majesty Blue ink (kind of on the wet side of a fountain pen ink), it wrote exceptionally well. Smooth for a EF nib, and the flow was very well regulated. With the purchase price this low, I wonder how do Asvine make a profit? I cannot come up with anything else but positive writer's experience. It is very well built in quality. I didn't buy the Bock nib model because I have tried Bock nibs in other makers' fountain pens, and they were poor in quality based on my personal experience, not necessarily of others. With all this said, I wish that Asvine would produce nib that is a little bit flexible as an option in the near future though. I don't mind pay much higher premium. As a fountain pen collector, sometimes that inner urge is a psychological potency with a tiny of nuance of illness, money is subsequently becoming relatively insignificant when that thrill of "nice" fountain pen is in your hand! I have collected some fountain pens and I am not get paid to compliment this own. This pen is one of the best pens that I collected even though it is about the most economical one among them.

I'm always in search of a pen that can handle fun, shimmery inks. This pen, and specifically the 1.1 stub nib deliver glitter and ink exceptionally well. It's very nice and wet, with a consistent flow and no clogging even 24 hours later. The pen feels pretty light in the hand. Heavier than a similar plastic build but not as heavy as a similar brass pen. It's like a medium to light weight. The build quality is very nice and smooth and overall I think it looks very attractive. I have to press a little harder than my Twsbi to get the ink to come out with a lot of shimmer but the tines are very springy and bouncy so it's not that much more effort to get the desired effect of the ink. In the very beginning I couldn't get the ink to flow out but after filling up the pen I just dipped the nib in water to pull out the ink and haven't had any issues since. I used Wearingeul ink: Night Colored in Grape/ Grape Colored Night on 50gsm Tomoe River Paper

This pen is surprisingly good, the fit and finish is very nice. The feel of it when writing is well balanced, the weight has a very quality feel . The piston filling system works flawlessly, you get a nice amount of ink in one fill just as one would hope. The looks are fantastic, honestly it feels like a much more expensive pen. The nib has some flex to it, but I wouldn't push it too far but there is a slight line variation which is... lets face it, why we all love fountain pens. The ink flow is a touch dry but not starving the nib at all. After sitting for weeks it has a eight to ten letter start before it really flows nicely. The only real problem I see is the cap, the plastic threads onto the metal grip section, which causes some thread stick if slightly over torqued so be careful there. All in all very pleased with this pen, I would definitely recommend it to others.

Asvine has continued to steo up to provide amazing quality writing instruments at amazing prices. The P36 piston-filler in titanium is a very comfortable size to use unposted. Not too small, but not too big. The build quality is amazing. Fit and finish is solid and the perfect weight. I got the medium which is a smooth, wet nib that just glides across the page. This is just another in a long line of pens that have become 'go to' pens for me. Beautiful.

Asvine's quality has skyrocketed. This is another excellent writer. The 1.1 mm stub is smooth, & juicy. No skipping. I love demonstrator pens. The ink sloshing in the window is so cool! Quality, & reasonable cost, what's not to like. Highly recommended.

I bought with the Asvine nib - this is one of may favorite pens. As good a writer as my much more expensive Sailor 1911L and Platinum President. The nib is a very stiff writer. Ink flow is good. I have has it inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo for 3 months and it has not dried out, skipped or hard started once. The ink capacity is 1.5 mL. The body is well made, the edges of the clip are sharper than I like but not a real issue.

For the price, this pen is amazing. I find it has great flow, a smooth writing nib, and an unbelievable price. If you remember the price point when you are writing, you shouldn't be disappointed. I find it comparable to a Waterman Hemisphere in build quality and writing experience for about half the price.

It fell maybe 18-20 inches and landed on a soft wooden floor. I mean, come on. Otherwise, it was a nice pen for the week and a half it was whole. The mechanism is smooth. It holds a lot if ink. The nib didn't need any adjustments. I regret choosing the EF nib but that's a personal thing. It was great at being an EF. But that level of fragility is inexcusable.
