I finally completed my collection of all six colorways of the Asvine V126 fountain pen. All of them have Asvine medium nibs, and I’ve been delighted with how well all of them feel in the hand and lay down ink. I’m also mighty happy with the inks that I’ve paired them with, although the shimmer in the Heart of Gold means that I need to spend more time on maintenance than the others.

    I have to say I’m shocked how that gold, as sparkly as it is, even works in a fountain pen to begin with. That’s impressive.

      It does require much more regular cleaning than any of my other pens. I’m typically not much into the shimmer inks, but Heart of Gold is amazing!

      I have a Vac 700R, too. The TWSBI feels much more substantial than the V126, but it is also twice the price as well. I’d definitely recommend trying one out, though!
