Debuting on August 15, 2018, the TWSBI Go is TWSBI's most recent entry to their fountain pen lineup. It is now their most inexpensive fountain pen at ~$20 USD, unseating the 'Eco' for that spot. The Go is a spring-activated, piston filler made from molded plastic, metal spring and features a clear grip and translucent colored body. The cap is also clear with colored finial ring surrounding a red TWSBI finial. The snap cap also posts onto the barrel of the pen via friction-fit. The cap also features a very small loop which acts as both a roll stop and for attaching to a lanyard The easily swapped nibs from the 580 are not available with the Go. There is a plastic feed, and the steel nibs are available in XF, F, M, B, and a 1.1 stub. The body of the pen is cylindrical, with a small step to the section. The grip section is round, but tapers slightly towards the nib to a very gentle tripod grip. Both the cap and barrel are minimally faceted.

Dimensions: 134 mm capped, 125 mm uncapped, barrel diameter 14.7 mm Weight: 17 g Ink Capacity: 1.61 ml

After 40 plus years as an OEM manufacturer for different global brands, Ta Shin Precision decided to start selling under their own brand, and thus TWSBI was born.

TaShin Precision has over 40 years of experience in manufacturing with plastics and metals. Early products ranged from toy lego parts to high end writing instruments. This knowledge trickles down into every product TWSBI has to offer.

TWSBI's name stands for the phrase "Hall of Three Cultures" or "San Wen Tang" (三文堂) in Chinese. The character "Wen" translates into language and culture. The phrase "San Wen Tang" also brings to mind the Hall of the Three Rare Treasures created by Emperor Qianlong as a memorial to three great masterpieces of Chinese calligraphy. The initials of the phrase "San Wen Tang" was reversed and thus turned into "TWS". The last letters "Bi" (笔) was added with its literal meaning of "writing instruments". Thus combining the two segments, creating TWSBI.<ref>[https://www.twsbi.com/pages/about-us TWBSI]</ref>
[[File:TWSBI_Stationery_Wiki_024.jpg|400px|thumb|Right|TWSBI ECO Turquoise, Diamond Mini, ECO-T Yellowgreen, and ECO White]]

== Nibs ==
TWSBI fountain pens currently use [[JoWo]] nibs. TWSBI used [[Schmidt]] for the nibs for the early 530s , followed by nibs by [[Bock]] before changing to [[JoWo]].

==Fountain Pens==
TWSBI has brought several affordable fountain pens to market over the past few years. The majority of their pens are [[piston filler]] pens, but they also have a couple [[vacuum filler]] pens. Prices range from $20 USD for the Go to $65 USD for the Vac-700R; there may be an additional $5 cost for the 1.1 stub nib in some models.

===Classic===
The [[TWSBI Classic|Classic]] is a solid-colored piston filler pen, with chrome trim. Available in five colors, it has an [[ink window]] on the section just above the cap threads.

===Diamond 580===
The [[TWSBI Diamond 580|Diamond 580]], often just called the 580, is a demonstrator piston filler pen. Available in two versions, the standard plastic version, and an aluminum version. Both versions are available in limited run colored options, with the cap, section and [[piston knob]] colored in the standard plastic version, and the section and piston mechanism colored in the aluminum versions.

''Prior versions include the Diamond 530, and Diamond 540''

===Diamond Mini===
The [[TWSBI Diamond Mini|Diamond Mini]] is a smaller version of the [[#Diamond 580|580]]. Still a piston filler, and available in the standard plastic or aluminum versions like its full-sized sibling. The cap screws to post.

===Eco===
The [[TWSBI Eco]], Eco for economical, is one of TWSBI's most affordable fountain pen. At only $30, it is an often recommended starter pen, as it is one of the cheapest piston filler pens on the market. Available in 4 colors, the Eco is a demonstrator pen with a colored cap and [[piston knob]].

===Go===
The [[TWSBI Go]] is TWSBI's most recent addition to their fountain pen lineup. It has unseated the [[Eco]] as their most affordable pen and retails for around $20. New for this pen is a spring-loaded [[piston]], allowing for easy, one-handed ink filling.

===''Micarta - Discontinued''===
The [[TWSBI Micarta]] was TWSBI's only cartridge converter pen. Made out of [[Micarta]], it had two versions, the original (v1), and the updated (v2). Both came with gold plated steel nibs, and gold plated clips, although v2 was also available in a clipless version.

=== Precision ===
The TWSBI Precision fountain pen features an all-metal construction. It has a brushed aluminium body with a hexagonal barrel.

===Vac-700R===
The [[TWSBI Vac-700R|Vac-700R]] is a full sized vacuum filler pen. The Vac-700R is a demonstrator pen with a translucent smoke colored section and piston knob. The pen features an [[ink shut-off valve]], when the piston knob is screwed close, it shuts off the ink reservoir from the feed. In order to write for longer sessions, the piston knob needs to be unscrewed. This is very useful for frequent fliers as they won't have to worry about ink leaking while in the air.

''Prior versions include the Vac-700''

===Vac Mini===
The [[TWSBI Vac Mini|Vac Mini]] is the smaller version of the [[#Vac-700R|Vac-700]]. Available in full demonstrator, or similar to it's full sized sibling, with a smoked section and piston knob.

===Precision Mechanical Pencil===
[[File:Precision-total.jpg|600px|right|TWSBI Precision Mechanical Pencil, 0.5 mm, silver, retractable tip]]
The [[TWSBI Precision|Precision]] Mechanical Pencil was originally available in two colors, black and silver. Currently (2018) only the silver version is available. It is available in two lead sizes, 0.7 mm and 0.5 mm and with either a retractable sleeve (also referred to as RT for retractable tip) or a fixed sleeve. The retractable sleeve is there to make the pencil pocket safe. It is not suitable for use as a [[sliding sleeve]]. <ref>[https://bleistift.blog/2018/07/the-twsbi-precision-mechanical-pencil-in-0-5-mm-and-a-quick-look-at-the-fountain-pen-too/ The TWSBI Precision Mechanical Pencil in 0.5 mm (and a Quick Look at the Fountain Pen, too)], Bleistift.blog</ref>

==Ballpoint Pens==
===Precision Ballpoint Pen===
The Precision Ballpoint Pen features a similar look as the Precision Mechanical Pencil. It is available in black and silver.

==Notebooks==
TWSBI has a small line of notebooks, similar to a [[Moleskine]] or [[Leuchtturm1917]] notebook, it is available in three sizes; small, medium, and large.

==Ink Wells==
TWSBI has two [[ink well]]s in their product line. They are designed to work with the correspondingly named pens, but will work with the majority of fountain pens.

===Diamond 50===
The [[TWSBI Diamond 50 Inkwell|Diamond 50]] is a 50mL ink well. Designed to screw onto the barrel of the Diamond fountain pen line, it allows an easy and mess-free inking of the Diamond fountain pen line. It also includes an inner inkwell for filling most other fountain pens.

===Vac 20A===
The [[TWSBI Vac 20A Inkwell|Vac 20A]] is a smaller 20mL ink well. Designed to work with the Vac line of pens (although it may not work with the newly redesigned [[#Vac-700R|Vac-700]]), it also works with the majority of other fountain pens. The 20mL size offers more usability towards travel.

TWSBI has a small line of notebooks, similar to a [[Moleskine]] or [[Leuchtturm1917]] notebook, it is available in three sizes; small, medium, and large.

==Ink Wells==
TWSBI has two [[ink well]]s in their product line. They are designed to work with the correspondingly named pens, but will work with the majority of fountain pens.

===Diamond 50===
The [[TWSBI Diamond 50 Inkwell|Diamond 50]] is a 50mL ink well. Designed to screw onto the barrel of the Diamond fountain pen line, it allows an easy and mess-free inking of the Diamond fountain pen line. It also includes an inner inkwell for filling most other fountain pens.

===Vac 20A===
The [[TWSBI Vac 20A Inkwell|Vac 20A]] is a smaller 20mL ink well. Designed to work with the Vac line of pens (although it may not work with the newly redesigned [[#Vac-700R|Vac-700]]), it also works with the majority of other fountain pens. The 20mL size offers more usability towards travel.
