The TWSBI Eco Amazonite Fountain Pen is made for the beginner who just wants to try out fountain pens, all the way to the experts. A good everyday worker. The pen cap is able to post onto the back of the pen. It's a piston-filler fountain pen. Simply dip into ink, screw back the end cap, and you're done! Ready to write!! Pen cap has an inner cap to insure a perfect seal when stored away.

The TWSBI (commonly pronounced "twiz-bee") Eco is the answer to the common question, "what is a good starter fountain pen?" The piston-filling Eco provides all the enjoyment of owning a modern fountain pen at a fraction of the cost.

The transparent resin barrel gives the writer a clear view of the ink sloshing around as they write. A dependable, iridium-tipped steel nib writes smoothly in a variety of point sizes to suit your writing style. The nib keeps fresh with ink thanks to the inner cap seal.

After writing hundreds, if not thousands, of pages, you can maintain your TWSBI Eco using the included wrench and silicone grease.

A quick no brainer guide in choosing nib sizes in an overly complicated fountain pen world:

• If you write small, go with an Extra Fine.
• For the normal writer, Fine is the most popular.
• If you tend to lean on a bigger font, Medium will be perfect.
• Broad is for statements!! Sign a check in Broad, write a header in Broad, do some coloring/shading in Broad.
• Stub nibs are italic in writing style (great for writing in special cards or invitations).
