With a history of more than 40 years of manufacturing, including producing high-end pens for other brands, Ta Shin Precision decided to start selling under their own brand, TWSBI. The name TWSBI is made up from TWS and BI. ‘TWS’ is the reversed initials of the phrase ‘San Wen Tong’, translated Hall of Three Cultures, and ‘BI’ literally means writing instrument.

The TWSBI Diamond has a cool design, very modern and intriguing. It comes in a box containing a wrench and a bottle of liquid silicon, so it’s a pen that encourages tinkering and disassembling. I got the fine nib that is smooth and writes well – no problems with skipping or hard starting. The only thing I didn’t like so much about the pen is that it is not made to post. You can if you really want it, but then the pen becomes too long and unbalanced. It is, however, long enough it for me to write with it unposted. I liked so much this pen that ended buying another pen from TWSBI just because of the experience with this one, so I definitely recommend it. Well worth the price.

This is one of the best steel nib I have used, at par with the Franklin Christoph SIG nibs. The build quality is amazing and the piston filling is robust. Possibly the best value for money at the moment.

Zeer leuke pen om dagelijks te gebruiken. Penpunt is in staal maar geeft een vlotte inktflow en is naar de brede kant. Geeft een fijn schrijfgevoel en is zeer zacht van penpunt.
Een aanrader voor iedereen die van een klassieke vulpen houdt voor een betaalbare prijs! Ben aangenaam verrast van de kwaliteiten van deze pen ook omdat ik gewend ben om met iets duurdere pennen te schrijven die gebruik maken van gouden penpunten…

Everything can be loved here: a beautiful look that’s at the same time traditional and modern, a nib that slides on the paper (I tested it on Tomoegawa paper), great materials: it’s a pleasure to use it. I recommend it highly !

I thought I liked the ECO and ECO-T a lot already but once I got this Diamond 580, I knew there was no turning back! This pen is so beautiful and writes ever so smoothly. Definitely worth the step up 🙂

On begining, I wanted the transparent/demonstrator pen. So I came across this pen here at Appelboom and decided to get it. Pen is awesome – fits in my hand perfectly and writes with just right amout of feedback I do like great deal (considering it is fine steel nib). I use it daily at work for making short or medium long notes on crappy paper. It hase nice design -real demonstrator – one can see everything what is happening iniside of the pen. I would recommend this pen to everyone who even starts in fountain pen hobby.
Also my first purchase at Appelboom was flawles! (nice touch with cookies in Apelbooms package 😉 )
I am very happy with the purchase!

Dat TWSBI hele fijne vulpennen maakt, hoef ik niet meer te melden.
Belangrijk vind ik de (Online) winkel waar ik die heb gekocht:
Appelboom is werkelijk een prima adres!

It’s an amazing pen, given the price point. The nib is buttery soft and never fails. Besides being a “demonstrator” is quite a plus.
