I'm loving it so far. I've been using at work, and it writes as nicely as any of my expensive fountain pens. I like the weight, balance, length, and the knurled texture on the barrel. The nib also spreads slightly with pressure, like a flex nib pen. I'm gonna get another one in silver. Review: Unbelievable value. If you like fountain pens you've got to try one of these! - I love this pen! I have been adding pens to my rotation collection that included low-to-high end Sailor, Waterman, Pelikan and Cross. I also use a beautiful old Parker "45", a Papermate made by Montblanc and even an inexpensive English "Panache" calligraphy pen with multiple nibs. Some of these are terrific and beautiful writers. Some are okay and very functional. But I didn't have any Chinese sourced pens and was curious. I happened to see a YouTube video of someone using the Hong Dian Silver Birch Forest and was really taken by it. I loved its look, but had no idea how it felt to use one, so I ordered up. This pen writes every bit as good as it looks! I bought a Fine nib, along with a batch of Hong Dian's black ink cartridges. I understand that Hong Dian is part of Asvine. That's not a familiar name for me, but if my Silver Birch is any indication of what this company can create and make then I want to see more of what they offer. I have to be honest, I like how my Silver Birch writes much more than my collectible Sailor ProGear Commemorative "Kanreki" which cost hundreds more than most of my other pens. For the price of this pen I think the value is unbelievable! The pen never skips, no hard starts, seems to simply not care what paper I'm writing on and puts down beautiful script! I went into this expecting to be thoroughly disappointed, but I am happy to say my expectations were not met! This is a great pen that writes and functions beautifully. Also, I find this pen comfortable to hold and write with. it's smooth, the line it lays down is tight and controlled and it isn't tiring to use. Even the black Hong Dian ink I ordered looks great on my different papers and dries quickly and without any lack of lubricity or scratchiness. If you haven't got it by now, I really like this pen, a lot! ## Features - This Hongdian foutnain pen is equipped with a unique, streamlined stainless steel fine nib to deliver an incomparable writing experience. - It comes with a converter for bottled ink, No Ink included for safety in transit.

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. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the price *by G***. on May 3, 2026* This is a nice pen. I'm loving it so far.

If you like fountain pens you've got to try one of these! *by B***N on May 16, 2026* I love this pen!

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Asvine Black Forest Fountain Pen Fine Nib, Ink Cartridge Not Included, Classic Design with Converter and Metal Pen Case Set - Asvine Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges Black Color, Set of 30 Refill Ink Cartridges, 3.4 mm Bore Diameter - Asvine Hongdian Fountain Pen Bottled Ink Black, 60ml Fountain Pen Bottled Ink, Non Carbon --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/160301178-asvine-black-forest-fountain-pen-fine-nib-ink-cartridge-not](https://www.desertcart.us/products/160301178-asvine-black-forest-fountain-pen-fine-nib-ink-cartridge-not) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
