Asvine

[Pinmin]

Hello Fellow Members,

     I began using and collecting fountain pens in 1988.  Our focus on our hobby brings us much joy.  And my attention to some fountain pens and pen manufacturers has grown.  One example is Asvine Pen.  I have purchased many Asvine models, finishes, and all filling systems they make-- cartridge/converter, inbuilt piston, vacuum filler, and eyedropper.

The most recent arrival shown in the photo image is the Asvine P36 Titanium Fountain Pen with Piston Filling (ample ink capacity) a 6mm-size nib, and Clear/Transparent Acrylic.  Titanium is known for its significant toughness, and the P36 employs TC4 titanium, which is a titanium alloy that's often used in the aerospace, military, and other industries. 

This fountain pen has a screw-type, threaded cap.  The threads do not bind/catch/hang-up when returning the cap onto the barrel. The nib/point size options are Extra Fine, Fine, and Medium...Mine is Medium.  The Asvine nib is smooth and I consider it a top-performer.  If desired, the pen can be ordered with a Bock nib in EF, F, M, and Broad.  The ink feeder delivers a consistent flow.  Currently the pen is filled with Waterman Inspired Blue ink, formerly called, South Sea Blue.

For Members who are interested in measurement specs>

Weight : 30g

Diameter :15mm
Capped length: 142mm
Uncapped length:130mm;
With Cap Posted length:170mm

When writing, the pen is satisfyingly comfortable, especially the balance and grip section.

The Asvine P36 is also available with flat ends and vacuum filling, that model is called the V200.

My personal opinion--the winning characteristic is value relative to price-- the performance and quality is equal to fountain pens with prices much, much higher.  Asvine pens are quite affordable and I continue to buy them for the fun and handwriting pleasure experienced.

What are their Eyedropper models?

I came back to FPN after 14 years today to look for Eyedroppers.

Thanks. I believe the M169 is also an eyedropper. Some listing mention that.

Not sure though.

I kinda like the looks.
