Review: Unbelievable value. If you like fountain pens you've got to try one of these! - I love this pen! I have been adding pens to my rotation collection that included low-to-high end Sailor, Waterman, Pelikan and Cross. I also use a beautiful old Parker "45", a Papermate made by Montblanc and even an inexpensive English "Panache" calligraphy pen with multiple nibs. Some of these are terrific and beautiful writers. Some are okay and very functional. But I didn't have any Chinese sourced pens and was curious. I happened to see a YouTube video of someone using the Hong Dian Silver Birch Forest and was really taken by it. I loved its look, but had no idea how it felt to use one, so I ordered up. This pen writes every bit as good as it looks! I bought a Fine nib, along with a batch of Hong Dian's black ink cartridges. I understand that Hong Dian is part of Asvine. That's not a familiar name for me, but if my Silver Birch is any indication of what this company can create and make then I want to see more of what they offer. I have to be honest, I like how my Silver Birch writes much more than my collectible Sailor ProGear Commemorative "Kanreki" which cost hundreds more than most of my other pens. For the price of this pen I think the value is unbelievable! The pen never skips, no hard starts, seems to simply not care what paper I'm writing on and puts down beautiful script! I went into this expecting to be thoroughly disappointed, but I am happy to say my expectations were not met! This is a great pen that writes and functions beautifully. Also, I find this pen comfortable to hold and write with. it's smooth, the line it lays down is tight and controlled and it isn't tiring to use. Even the black Hong Dian ink I ordered looks great on my different papers and dries quickly and without any lack of lubricity or scratchiness. If you haven't got it by now, I really like this pen, a lot!
Review: Amazing Fountain Pen - What an amazing pen! This is only my second fountain pen, I am not an expert on them by any means. One day when I threw away several standard pens that were done, I realized that I throw a ton of these plastic things away. They are probably going to sit in a landfill forever or end up in the ocean and choke a dolphin to death or something. So, I started looking at refillable pens because I couldn't find a better way to recycle or reuse standard pens. I tried a few standard refillable pens, and they were OK, but I wasn't getting the same line results as I was with my higher-end Pilot pens. I bought the Black Forest because the price was excellent and the reviews were incredibly good. The quality and build are fantastic, the weight is really nice and the lines it produces are crisp and concise. The nurling is very comfortable and much softer than it appears. I bought the Asvine Hongdian Fountain Pen Bottled Ink Black (Non-carbon) to use with it, because I am just getting into the world of fountain pens and that ink was inexpensive (I will write a separate review on that, but so far, I love that ink as well). So far, the pen has never dripped or exploded a bunch of ink all over my page. I am honestly shocked with how much I enjoy drawing and writing with this pen. Because it is so much cheaper than other nice fountain pens, I thought it was going to be garbage. Not knowing much about fountain pens, I thought it would be a good first run (my first fountain pen was very inexpensive and disposable. I bought it just to make sure I could actually draw with a fountain pen before I dropped money on a "real" one). Man, I love this thing. Very easy to refill as well! Time will tell how it holds up, but after using this heavily for a few weeks, I have zero complaints or issues with it. I am sure there are many, many nicer fountain pens out there, but I can't imagine you can beat this one for the price (I paid under $20 USD for it in 2026).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this pen smooth when writing ?**
A: I am amazed at how easy it is to write or draw with this pen. It's a great purchase and so affordable. I highly recommend these and have purchased another to use with a different color ink.

**Q: Can you use standard international repalcement ink cartridges?  I cannot find a listing for 3.4mm ink cartridges.**
A: Not for me!
I'm sorry, but the 3.4 ink cartridges they sell along with these pens do not work for me.  I have not been able to force any into the barrel.  The pen itself is fine - my favorite among six I have -, and the refiller cartridge works fine, but I also feel I need some spare cartridges.  Can anybody tell me exactly which ones work?  I ordered the Asvine Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges Black Color, Set of 30 Refill Ink Cartridges, 3.4 mm Bore Diameter, which are sold as a companion

**Q: What ink bootle do we use for this pen? the waterman 50ml ink bottle was recommend for this so is it the right one?**
A: The question is imprecise. Any fountain pen ink is suitable for use in this pen. Waterman, Diamine, J. Herbin, Robert Oster, etc., etc. Any bottle that says Fountain Pen Ink will do.

**Q: What is the pen's metal casing like, is it durable?**
A: I have a black color pen and use it daily. Over time, the color coating will wear off (in small batches and especially around the area where the cap closes at the body), and reveals a bronze-like color beneath. At other scratched areas at the top of the cap, the underlying color is a metallic gray. But it still looks nice and I continue to use as one of my many daily carries.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall Nice Quality
*by S***S on September 30, 2025*

This pen is overall nice quality for price. ASSEMBLY & WRITING Easy to use and assemble. Seeing some other reviews, I rinsed the nib first before using. Easy to clean. Let it dry for about 2 days (pen is refillable, comes with a refillable converter). Then tried it out. As soon as I started writing it worked nicely! Write speed is efficient. I’m left handed and this pen works well for me. COMPARISON Comparing this pen to my platinum preppy, It’s feels heavier. The Platinum, it’s light as a feather. But the Asvine, you know you’re handling it. Also, I got the “fine” nib but writing looks more “medium” to me. My Preppy fin nib produces smaller writing. I will say that this Asvine pen seems to write better from the start. My Preppy pens are touch and go even with cleaning. And can be a little finicky. STORAGE & FUNCTION The Asvine pen also comes with a nice ten box for storage if you’re not using it often. However, if you plan on everyday use, be aware this may not be the most comfortable pen. I’m still testing it out. It feels fine but I personally like a thicker round grip like the Preppy pen. Also the Asvine clip is a bit stiff and mostly is for aesthetics not really functional. But the pen does glide well in most my folio & notebook pen loops.
