TWSBI ECO Fountain Pen - Irish Green w/ Onyx - The Goulet Pen Company
TWSBI ECO Fountain Pen - Irish Green w/ Onyx
The TWSBI ECO fountain pen boasts an incredible value with its piston filling system and affordable price. Like many other TWSBI fountain pens, it features a crystal clear acrylic barrel so you can see your ink level, and an irish green cap and finial. The pen cap has an inner cap to ensure a perfect seal when stored away. It is completed with black onyx trim and a black stainless steel nib.
TWSBI's belief is that it is important to allow the user to disassemble and reassemble the pen and completely experience the traditional aspects of owning and using a fountain pen. These pens also come packaged with a wrench and silicone grease. Neither of these accessories are intended to be used immediately, as they are for long-term care and maintenance. Additionally, please use extra care if you choose to disassemble the nib and feed, as the feed is very fragile.

TWSBI emblem fell off finial. Contacted GPC customer service who sent me TWSBI email. They have been very helpful. Was able to glue back on and TWSBI is sending a replacement cap.
Easy to setup and use, writes wonderfully. I make up reasons to write with it.
I own quite a few high end pens.. Even at a high price point a nib can be iffy. This little guy is really a joy and it writes really well. I may get some other colors too.
The color is perfect as well as the onyx pen nib.
Also for the price is definitely worth it maybe a finer nib purchase is in the future but in purple if they have it.?
After collection only expensive Montblanc Writers Edition and other brands of Collectors Editions of Fountain Pens I finally decided after 30 years of an absence of buying any fountain pens to now buy very inexpensive fountain pens, I was absolutely shocked at the superb writing quality of this TWSBI Eco pen. It writes as smoothly as any of my Montblanc or other fountain pens. This alone moved me to purchase other brands of this level of fountain pens such as Lamy, Asvine, Benu and others.
Thank you TWSBI for making such an excellent fountain pens. I plan to buy the TWSBI Diamond 580ALR next.
I love their pens. The shape, color, and the ease of writing. Not sure why they so superior but they are. I have two now. One maroon, one green!!
I love how this pen was designed, and I love how well it writes.
Pleasure to write with. I got a FINE. Various inks can be wetter and it writes more like a Medium with Diamine Ink. Writes Fine with dryer inks.
I really like this pen. Such a great design with the refillable ink chamber. I bought green ink for this fountain pen. It writes very nicely.
Love this Pen, bought one for myself and two more as gifts. All with Extra Fine Nib! Feels sturdy in the hands, good weight/feel and the twist cap tells you it’s secure when not in use. Will be probably buying more in different colors as more gifts.
I purchased this TWSBI ECO replace another TWSBI pen that had cracked a couple of years ago. It's a very nice green color and I love the way it writes
Pen writes very smoothly. It's constructed well. Goulet pens shipped it right away and had no problems with them.
Bought the pen for my son. The one he wanted. Seems well built. Couldn’t tell you how it writes because it doesn’t come with any ink. I didn’t see that when I bought it. Now we are waiting for ink to arrive. $65 pen and can’t even include a sample? Hope someone reads this and buys ink with their pen.
I am obsessed with this pen!! It's gorgeous and I love the broad tip. Its by far my favorite tip from twsbi.
Everything I was expecting and more. Highly satisfied with my purchase!
The TWSBI ECO Fountain Pens are my favorites of the plastic and lower cost pens. By Far! They are so easy to use - always have a good initial flow and consistent ink flow throughout using. I find myself always reaching for these pens (I now have 3 of them).
This is my very first fountain pen after trying a friend's safari and it is amazing it feel great and writes amazing a d I can't speak more about Goulets praises there customer service is amazing and there packaging is stellar 👏 amazing company cant wait to buy more pens and ink!!!
Much smoother than my initial experience with TWSBI, a 580AL from many moons ago (which I recently repurchased, and is much improved as well)
Love the color and the black nib is awesome very smooth
Great pen. Love it
Love this pen writes smooth
The TWSBI Eco is probably my favorite model of pen, and I have a lot of fountain pens, including many much more expensive than TWSBI’s. This Irish Green Eco with a 1.1 stub nib didn’t disappoint.
Pen feels solid and quality. Actions are smooth and the pen is now my daily carry. Fantastic and I can’t wait to get another
Super nice and smooth even with the stub nib
👍
This is my second TWSBI pen and it writes as nicely as my first one.
Very happy with such great performance at a very reasonable price.
I own a very nice collection of pens and this one holds its own among
all the big name brands.
After its initial cleaning, I filled this new Eco with Diamine Sargasso Sea. Now l get this rich blue line laid smo-o-o-o-othly across the page. This is one of the smoothest writing pens I own, a little surprising with the fine nib. There's almost no feedback or scratchiness in the writing.
As for the looks of the pen, the green and onyx are a reminder of the sports cars painted British Racing Green. This is a handsome pen in my eyes!
Cursive writing was never better!
The TWSBI product is always a win, and this pen is no exception. I had a little trouble getting the piston lubricated for first use, but that was user error, not poor design. I love how large the ink storage is, as write a lot with my job. I have not had to refill for nearly two weeks. The onyx nib is not only an eye-catcher, but it writes smoothly. I love the green color, and the pen is comfortable in the hand.
Amazing pens and ink speedy shipping will definitely order more pens and ink form here
This is my third TWSBI ECO. This is a beautiful pen and fun to use ... and you can write for a long time before inking it.
