## Description

desertcart.com : Black Forest Fountain Pen Fine Nib, Ink Cartridge Not Included, Classic Design with Converter and Metal Pen Case Set : Office Products

Review: Sleek, Good Looking, Good Writer for a Reasonable Price - I have been using and collecting fountain pens for about a year now. My husband became intrigued and wanted one of his own to try. Having several Asvine fountain pens in my personal collection and being very pleased with their quality and writing style, I decided to gift him with this Asvine Black Forest  nib with cartridge. You can use a converter instead of a cartridge if you want to use bottled ink, but he was interested in simplicity and ease of use, so he uses cartridges. This pen is a lovely matte black that writes a fine line - which is perfect for him. It is comfortable to use, reliable, well made, reasonably priced and a good writer. We both recommend this pen.
Review: Had To Buy The Rainbow Pen...Again! - Update 9/27/22: I bought the rainbow iridescent pen in a medium nib which is my nib of choice. After rinsing the nib, I inked it with Private Reserve Plum and it writes like a dream. No fits or starts. These pens are amazing and the enclosed tin case makes a great EDC pen case as well. Honestly I may have to have this pen in every color. If you're beginning your fountain pen journey, you can't go wrong with this. It looks luxe without the luxe price tag. It's a great every day carry pen. Nice weight, not too heavy. Just a reminder, this pen does not come with ink. Be sure to either have ink cartridges or bottled ink on hand. I personally suggest bottled ink for the vast color choices. And filling a converter is really easy. There are plenty of YouTube videos on hand to help. Update 2/27/22: I had to buy the rainbow iridescent pen and like my first purchase, I rinsed the nib first then inked it up with Pelikan Turquoise and it's writing perfectly. It's a beautiful pen to add to my collection. Maybe it's me, but this particular model doesn't feel as heavy as the dark blue one. Again, these pens come with a converter so have bottled ink on hand. Something else I've noticed is these pens seem to do well with lighter inks like Ferris Wheel Press and Monteverde. Update 1/18/22: hadn't used the pen for nearly two weeks, yet picked it up and started writing without having to get the ink to flow. That's really impressive and a plus for any fountain pen. Update 12/23/21: I've been using this pen for the past few days and the more I use it, the more I'm impressed with how well it writes and how rich it looks. I purchased another for my fiance. I really love the dark blue matte color and that satisfying "click" when capped. I have a rather sizeable fountain pen collection from the Vanishing Point to my EDC Platinum Preppy, and this pen has definitely become a new favorite. I cannot believe how well it writes pretty much out of the storage tin. It feels very nice in my hand, and the fine nib feels/writes like a medium point to me. After rinsing the nib I inked it with Monteverde Wisdom Purple and the pen skates nicely over my Tomoe River paper. I am definitely buying a few of these for my fountain pen loving friends. The presentation tin makes for a great way to store and carry this pen. Oh and the dark blue matte would look perfect in a professional setting. I'm really pleased with this pen. FYI: this pen DOES NOT come with ink, and for a very good reason. Cartridges can and do explode with changes in pressure or temperature. The last thing anyone wants is fountain pen ink all over the place. There are inexpensive but quality fountain pen inks available and plenty of hacks on YouTube about filling a converter.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this pen smooth when writing ?**
A: I am amazed at how easy it is to write or draw with this pen. It's a great purchase and so affordable. I highly recommend these and have purchased another to use with a different color ink.

**Q: Can you use standard international repalcement ink cartridges?  I cannot find a listing for 3.4mm ink cartridges.**
A: Not for me!
I'm sorry, but the 3.4 ink cartridges they sell along with these pens do not work for me.  I have not been able to force any into the barrel.  The pen itself is fine - my favorite among six I have -, and the refiller cartridge works fine, but I also feel I need some spare cartridges.  Can anybody tell me exactly which ones work?  I ordered the Asvine Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges Black Color, Set of 30 Refill Ink Cartridges, 3.4 mm Bore Diameter, which are sold as a companion

**Q: What ink bootle do we use for this pen? the waterman 50ml ink bottle was recommend for this so is it the right one?**
A: The question is imprecise. Any fountain pen ink is suitable for use in this pen. Waterman, Diamine, J. Herbin, Robert Oster, etc., etc. Any bottle that says Fountain Pen Ink will do.

**Q: What is the pen's metal casing like, is it durable?**
A: I have a black color pen and use it daily. Over time, the color coating will wear off (in small batches and especially around the area where the cap closes at the body), and reveals a bronze-like color beneath. At other scratched areas at the top of the cap, the underlying color is a metallic gray. But it still looks nice and I continue to use as one of my many daily carries.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall Nice Quality
*by S***S on September 30, 2025*

This pen is overall nice quality for price. ASSEMBLY & WRITING Easy to use and assemble. Seeing some other reviews, I rinsed the nib first before using. Easy to clean. Let it dry for about 2 days (pen is refillable, comes with a refillable converter). Then tried it out. As soon as I started writing it worked nicely! Write speed is efficient. I’m left handed and this pen works well for me. COMPARISON Comparing this pen to my platinum preppy, It’s feels heavier. The Platinum, it’s light as a feather. But the Asvine, you know you’re handling it. Also, I got the “fine” nib but writing looks more “medium” to me. My Preppy fin nib produces smaller writing. I will say that this Asvine pen seems to write better from the start. My Preppy pens are touch and go even with cleaning. And can be a little finicky. STORAGE & FUNCTION The Asvine pen also comes with a nice ten box for storage if you’re not using it often. However, if you plan on everyday use, be aware this may not be the most comfortable pen. I’m still testing it out. It feels fine but I personally like a thicker round grip like the Preppy pen. Also the Asvine clip is a bit stiff and mostly is for aesthetics not really functional. But the pen does glide well in most my folio & notebook pen loops.
