TWSBI (pronounced TWIZ-BEE) has become a staple in the fountain pen community, known for its high-quality, piston and vacuum-filling demonstrator pens at an exceptional value. Though it may seem like a newer brand, TWSBI’s history spans over 50 years as Ta Shin Precision, an OEM manufacturer producing parts for well-known brands. A decade ago, the company shifted to designing its own pens, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation.
With a name inspired by Chinese calligraphy, TWSBI is dedicated to creating durable, high-performing pens featuring smooth stainless steel nibs, excellent cap seals, and transparent designs that showcase their intricate filling mechanisms. Their user-serviceable approach, with included tools for maintenance, makes them a favorite among writers, professionals, and pen enthusiasts looking for reliability, style, and a hands-on writing experience.
