Asvine V126 Vacuum Filling Fountain Pen, Matte Black Acrylic Medium Nib, Large-Capacity Pen with Gift Case

I collect (and use) fountain pens. I have a few Asvine models and always fine them extremely well made and easy to use. However, this one I have found a little difficult to get used to. It writes ok and is a nice looking pen. I find it hard to pinpoint what I find disappointing with the V126, but, it isn't my favorite Asvine. Possibly it's just the pen I received, but, there are better models from this manufacturer in my opinion. EDIT 19/10/25: I’ve been using this fountain pen for a while now and am finding I’m really starting to fully enjoy it now. I’ve restored my rating to 5 stars as this is actually a very good pen. I would now highly recommend it as an inexpensive but excellent pen.

A quality product, a clone done to a high standard. If you cannot afford to pay for a high quality Japanese pen with a gold nib, then this pen with a steel medium nib is a surprisingly good little pen. So far it has written smoothly out of the box, hasn't required any minor tuning, and with what I consider is just the right amount of feedback from the nib on paper. Buy and enjoy.. December update.. having written quite a bit now,and only having to floss the nib, the factory nib is well tuned, juicy wet and smooth. Feedback can be on the toothy side, but that is mainly down to the paper not the nib. And in comparison to my 2 gold nib pens. A pilot custom 92 medium, and an platinum 3776 broad, this asvine is really worth buying. I also have an asvine P20 also in medium which gives an identical writing experience.. just proves that a well setup and tuned steel nib, can give the user a pleasant experience without breaking the bank..

This is a really good own from this brand. However not the best i have. The V200 is a much better solid feeling pen. From a writing perspective very little difference

Very good quality, writes flawlessly.

I bought this as a present for my partner, he absolutely loves it and uses it daily. He hasn't had any issues with it, it writes smoothly and feels nice in the hand.

I bought this after watching some YouTube videos about the high quality of Chinese pens in recent years. I can confirm that the quality of this pen is very good - it writes very nicely and has quite a generous reservoir. If you have a limited budget and wish to use a quality fountain pen I would highly recommend this product.

More the excellent.

This is very much like the legendary Pilot Custom 823 which is a beautiful pen but costs many times more than this one. The Asvine is well made, writes well and is good in the hand. I have it with the medium nib and it writes ok, but I think the nib would benefit from some fine tuning. Remember to unscrew the top of the pen to release the vacuum when writing, otherwise the ink will dry up.
