This pen has joined my list of always inked since getting.. its a joy to write with in broad, silky smooth and a nice amount of ink on the paper. I really enjoy writing with it. Yes the ink window is a hold up to the light to see if its full :) but, I'll take that.. its enjoyable to use. Good review, loved the disassemble and put-together
The J16 has been an EDC since I acquired it a month ago. I do agree that a clear ink window would have been better the the smoke colored one, and I wish the Asvine ink windows would be larger. While many of my pens have rounded finials, it would be nice to see a version of J16 with flat finials. Especially if they added jewels to the finials.
I’ve been mulling over the J16, but I’m on the fence about whether I want the Medium or Fine size nib. For reference, I mostly write with Japanese fine mediums and mediums.
Excellent review.
@@teresaharris-travelbybooks5564 thank you!

@@chi-towncalifornia5916 which Japanese brands are you used to?
Asvine; if you are watching this, I wouldn't be unhappy if you sent me the J16. 😊
I have this on my bucket list to get. I mentioned it to my kids and they said it was too plain. Pity.
@@paulmchugh1430 I’d say more subtle than plain 😊
@ForTheLoveOfPens I think they are going for the Kanwrite Mammoth X with the #9 nib.
I didnt pull the trigger thinking that it will be slippery in hand.
@@santauxia not for me, it’s much grippier than a chrome section
