I have mentioned Twsbi on this blog before and I have 2 of
their pens. After a surprise gift this morning, I now have 3 Twsbi pens and the
new one I received is not seen often, so let’s have a look.
This is the Twsbi Diamond 580 RB edition. The RB, I believe,
is for red/blue? As a demonstrator pen, the coloring makes it look red, white
and blue which could evoke patriotism for both France and the US. When filled
with ink, however, the red and blue is more prominent and are also colors on
the Taiwan flag which is where the Twsbi company calls home.
To further drive the Taiwan theme, the sun from the
Taiwanese flag is featured on the finial of the pen. The cap is red, the section
is red and the knob on the end of the pen is blue.
As all of Twsbi’s pens, this is a piston filler based pen
and for the price of $55 is a great value. The nibs are super buttery smooth as
is this 1.5mm steel stub. It is a nice, juicy, wet nib with great line
variation and so effortless to use.
The pen itself is light and well balanced. The RB edition is
fun and I appreciate receiving it as a gift from a great friend. Twsbi makes
wonder and affordable piston filling pens. If you haven’t already done so, give
them a try.
This review is based off of my experience and opinion. I am
not representing Twsbi nor being compensated in any way.
