I have a few TWSBI’s. Their best feature is that they are virtually airtight, so even waterproof ink never dries in the pen, and it doesn’t leak. They also usually have huge reservoirs.

They are really well designed - apart from that ruddy clip!

My original sketching fountain pen 11 years ago was a TWSBI Mini. I like a piston filler with a good clip. My golden, retriever puppy thought it was a stick so that was the end of that one. Have another now since they came out with a purple one. Very latest favorite sketching pen is a Leonardo with a fude nib.

I do love Fude nibs - the variation you can get is excellent - but sorry to hear about the TWSBI. Clearly they are appallingly attractive to pups!

I finally got the Micro when they came out with the 16 color capability, and then i was happy to discover the little hole so i could attach it to a lanyard and hang it around my neck (decorated with a few flower and butterfly stickers!). That, a small sketchbook, a water brush, and my Pineider TTT Traveler pen (purchased in Florence) were all i needed for my Italian trip last year. I had more supplies along, but that’s what I took out every day.

Good choice! I have to admit, I really wish I could get out to Florence to see the city with a paintbox - and one day I hope to see Venice too with my paintbox and spare paints!

I can't sketch for toffee, but I enjoyed seeing your ingenious little kit.

I may not agree qirh with his politics, but Noodler's waterproof inks (I'd suggest Black, Lexington Grey & Polar Blue) deliver when needed.

I haven't tried any of them, but I have to admit I'd not want to use any Noodlers in a clear acrylic pen, such as my Visconti HS Skylight or a TWSBI, because of the risk of staining.

Heard somewhere Twsbi plastics are somewhat "tempered", the surface is harder than untreated plastics.

I have heard the same. I do know that the Swipe is very hard. Some say that the clip will make the cap's plastic break, but I haven't had that myself (yet)!

I have been considering the Eco. As I do not have any TWSBI pens, I am wondering if it isa good entry pen for my collection and into the TWSBI family.

I personally like the Eco. Good size, great reservoir, and comfortable in the hand. Personal choice - hmm - I think I prefer the Swipe, although I have no idea why!
