Asvine J16 Brushed Titanium Fountain Pen Jowo Nib

Excellent Pen in looks and performance. The medium nib produces a truly medium line. This is not a gusher pen, so it will write on almost any kind of paper without bleed thru. I am using Hongdian black ink in this pen and it writes beautifully and smoothly. Remember this is a piston filler, so there is not a push rod to pull out to create a vacuum. Be sure to read the instructions.

I have eight pens that I have recently purchased from the Asvine company located in China. Let me start with the negative which was resolved. I purchased one of their pens. I thought their Nib was not up to my liking and I was in touch with a person named Sally who tried to resolve the problem. Ultimately giving me a refund. I have been using fountain pens for 30 years. I have some incredible high-end pens from Pilot, Karras Kustom., Diplomat, Pelikan, and many others. The reason I named some of them is not hubris, it is is because I’m going to review Asvine as it relates to these expensive and lovely pens. All of Asvines pens are stunning and highly functional. In particular, the J 16 titanium fountain pen that I have in both brush and bright, is amazing. The quality, fit and finish, smooth writing experience, and lightish weight for an old woman arthritic hands, is wonderful. Moreover, while visually beautiful, their pens function as advertised. I need a new set of pens like a hole in the head at this point. But after seeing Dr. Stephen Brown and Doodlbud on YouTube, both of whom I trust vis-à-vis their evaluation of pens and ink, I went ahead and spent money on pens I don’t really need. Likely, my grandchildren will be the recipients of all of my pens soon. My only regret relating to fountain pens is that I have been in search of an early Waterman flexible Nib pen for years, but unfortunately, they are well beyond my ability afford. Furthermore, I don’t like buying used pens from sellers I don’t know particularly expensive ones. If Asvine were to produce a flexible Nib calligraphy pen, I would trust them to make something that the Asian market would enjoy, and therefore I would enjoy. The Asian market is very discriminating when it comes to calligraphy . The pens that I have purchased from Asvine are on the par with high-end pens that I have in my collection. Moreover, they are reasonably priced. I hope they remain so, but I feel they will not. Specifically this part is addressed to young people getting involved with the fountain pen hobby. It is a seductive endeavor. Before you know it, you’re buying beautiful ink and cheap pens that quickly lead you to more expensive pens. Be judicious in your purchases. Look at reviews, particularly the gentlemen that I’ve mentioned – there are many very good and conscientious people on YouTube reviewing fountain pens. One in particular that I’ve just begun to watch, is gentleman who runs the YouTube site called fountain Pen therapy. He too loves the Asvine pens. In conclusion, you cannot go wrong if you purchase Asvine fountain pens. And if you’re not satisfied with your purchase, let them know and they will try to resolve the issue to your satisfaction.

The pen has a very nice weight and fits in the hand with great comfort. It is not too light and not too heavy. Mine is a medium Jowo nib that writes very nicely. I have had excellent luck with every Asvine pen that I own. Asvine seems to strive for good designs and execution in workmanship. The piston action is very smooth and glides along the channel quite easily. I recommend the product be given consideration.

Lovely color, build quality is high, nib is smooth as butter- even with reverse writing. The medium is a gusher- I am usually a F or XF guy- but the medium with a shading ink is a fun change up.

I literally could not be happier with this pen. Brushed finish looks even better in person. Nib is fantastic and smooth. Piston filler is super smooth. If I had to nit pick anything it would be visibility of ink window isn’t great and cap doesn’t have a stop so over tightening is possible.

I love this pen as much as others in my collection at 4-times the price. The nib is exceptionally tuned, nice and smooth. The titanium gives it a nice heft, but it’s still not too heavy. And the piston mechanism is just as smooth as the nib. Highly recommend this one.

This pen is superb, if only its section were not so slippery. It writes wonderfully.

This fountain pen writes beautifully, often outperforming much pricier options. The contact with the paper is super smooth, the ink flows consistently, and it always works. The only downside is the slightly dull design, but at this price, it’s a fantastic deal!

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。

Beautiful, good quality, and well tuned nibs :-)

Great value fountain pen. Looking at the business end, fablulous steel nib that writes smoothly, consistently wet and never a dry start. In brushed titanium, its a slick looking pen and very comfortable to use for extended writing sessions. The build is very good and durable and the convenience of a solid piston filling mechanism makes it an excellent pen - regardless of the price! Very happy to use this as a frequent desk business pen.

Esta estilográfica es excepcional. Muy buena. La compré con el plumín M. Una suavidad exquisita. Muy recomendable. Otro éxito de Asvine

Una bella penna rivestita in ebanite con caricamento a stantuffo ed un pennino di qualità
