Are Twsbi pens any good?
The TWSBI Eco is an ideal EDC fountain pen—durable, easy to use, and good looking. It writes like a dream and finally it lasts over time. I really can’t see risking any other TWSBI at this point because the Eco writes so well and the others have fit and finish issues.

For this review, I’ve used a TWSBI Diamond 580AL in orange, currently the only TWSBI in my collection. At one time or another, I have owned a Vac 700, a Mini, and a couple colored 540s, but the 580 with the orange aluminum trim (now discontinued) is the pen that has stuck with me.

The orange TWSBI logo on the cap is crisp and high quality, while the Lamy logo looks like a sticker. The TWSBI nib is etched with intricate nib designs, while the Lamy nibs, as usual, are plain. The Lamy is an excellent pen, but it’s easy to see where TWSBI spends some of the additional money.
