Over the years, I have reviewed most of the popular TWSBI fountain pen models there are. For an overview: I know I lack the “GO”-model with the spring in above list – but it is sitting here in the review…
I have seen through quite a bunch of TWSBI pens over the years. The Eco, the Vac 700 – or the Diamond 580. The latter pen has a somewhat special place in my heart. Back in 2015, it was the…
