Asvine J16 Solid Titanium Fountain Pen Broad Jowo Nib Piston Filling, Ink Window Design with Wrench and Pen Box

インクを入れた状態で45gと少々重いが、精巧な作りであり、満足である。不思議なのは、Polished と Blushed でデザインが少々異なることだ。Polished の方がスッキリしたデザインの様に思える。ニブは信頼のJowo #6 なので、全く問題ない。

BLUF: The Asvine J16 is a nearly perfect writing instrument, suitable for school work and office life. Discussion: The hand-held writing instrument market is becoming increasingly competitive. Digital devices are more efficient at not only writing and displaying written information, but can distribute that information at the speed of light, literally. So, when you want to write a longer document or research paper, digital is “better”. But for quick notes and reminders, a pen or pencil might be more accessible or practical. Using a fountain pen can be environmentally friendlier than ballpoint and gel roller pens, because there’s no refill to replace after the ink runs out. Yes, some fountain pens rely on “disposable” cartridges, but you could refill them with bottled ink by using a blunt tip ink syringe. The Asvine brand offers several pens that are durable, reliable, and fillable with bottled ink. Some are made from colored or clear plastic, and some with combinations of metals and plastic. The J16 is near the top of Asvine’s assortment. The body, cap and grip section are made from titanium alloys, with a clear plastic ink window and the (presumably) plastic and rubber piston filling mechanism. The finish of the exterior is flawless, machined to leave the surface smooth and free of burrs, grates, and sharp edges. The filling mechanism works smoothly, and can be user maintained (and lubricated as necessary). What makes this pen feel extra special is the #6 JoWo nib and feed assembly. While the majority of Asvine (and other Chinese pen manufacturers) use Chinese-made nib and feed assemblies that write good enough for most people, adding a German-made JoWo nib takes this pen to the next level. Incredibly smooth ink flow and an impeccable polished finish of the nib tip make this pen write and feel like a pen costing hundreds of dollars. As a matter of fact, many pens that do cost hundreds have the same exact nib and feed combination. So, why would you pay more for the same quality and performance? Oh, and because JoWo nibs are easily removable (for cleaning, etc.), you can swap nibs with virtually any other pen that uses JoWo #6 nibs. Recommendation: if you’ve never written with a Chinese pen, the Asvine J16 is the “Gateway Pen” to show you that European and Japanese pen quality doesn’t have to cost European and Japanese prices! Exceptional performance at affordable prices. Try it for yourself; I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. PS: No, I’m not getting paid for this review, but I am keeping it real.

If you're looking for a pen that writes beautifully, feels and looks premium, is of great value, then this is it. Just slap a premium logo on this and it will sell for 5x the price. But it's an Asvine and as far as I'm concerned, Asvine is the new premium for those who insist on quality and value. It punches much higher than its weight. Recommend highly.

No me gustan las plumas metálicas, así que cuando vi que sacaban este modelo en ebonita decidí comprarlo en cuanto ya se encontraba en stock con envío en 1 día, ya que solo he escuchado cosas buenas sobre él. No tengo ninguna queja: la pluma está bien acabada, el funcionamiento del pistón es suave y preciso, y el plumín es suave con algo de feedback. Las ebonitas disponibles no es que me maten, pero bueno, la azul y verde que elegí no está mal. Entiendo que la ebonita no es un material barato en las plumas. Quizás por el precio me habría comprado otras 2 Asvine C80 en dos de los colores que no tengo, ya que ese plumín #8 de la propia marca me parece más interesante que el plumín #6 de JoWo, por más que las marcas alemanas se lleven habitualmente el reconocimiento de calidad por encima de las chinas.
