PenBBS 350

it comes with a roller ball, which is fine. doesn't come with a clip but that delike or kaweco sport clip will fit perfectly. and... you know what it looks like.....ahem, kukuno. oh, there are sharp edges.

penbbs 323-sunflower(向日葵)

In my defense, this isn't my doing. Optimus, who was an historical archiver, says that all pens should be archived, especially some special ones. He brought it in. With his super big rifle, who can say no? He brought a trailer, so more are coming. :p

haiz, so here is a penbbs 323-sunflower(向日葵). i wouldn't say much. For those who don't like the pen, focus on Optimus. For all others, just turn your eyes away. :p

Fuliwen Hexagon Side Rose Marble Celluloid Fountain Pen.


It is a china pen, but to be fair to the pen, it is worthy of a bit of review.

First thing first, it isn't celluloid. it is resin. but it looks and feel very celluloid. there is depth and there is color, but there is no celluloid smell. i placed it side by side with the real platinum 3776 koi and the real celluloid box, and seriously i can't really tell the difference from the photos.

pen body wise, it is well made. it is made via a rod, not a rolled over piece. the nib is their own brand, good, at least it is made end to end.

twsbi precision. gun metal finish

a very well built pen, good balance, nice touch to the gun metal finish body, light weight yet look metallic, nib seems similar to twsbi 580 series, so it should be exchangeable. oh,, it posts really well. given that the cap is a full piece, it should not break like twsbi 580 does, and that black feed holding breaking due to over-tightening should minimize as twsbi already mentioned that it is tight when the nib aligns with one of its protruded edges.

twsbi put a lot of hard work into it. however, quite sure its clones will appear in a couple of month's time. pity. real pity.

i think this is a keeper.
