TWSBI Swipe Fountain Pen Prussian Blue

TWSBI Swipe fountain pen. Unusually for TWSBI, you fill this one using ink cartridges. But you can also fill it with bottled ink if you fit a converter. What we're trying to say is that you have a great deal of choice about how you keep your Swipe ready for action!

Its semi-translucent barrel shows you what sort of mechanism you have in there at any given time, so you don't mistakenly engage an ink bottle when you've got a cartridge in there. There's a choice of converters: for the impatient among you, try the supplied spring-loaded one, which makes it quick and easy to fill. Or if you're more of a traditionalist, the piston converter is available.

As usual for TWSBI, there's a great choice of nib sizes. Supplied with a spring-loaded converter, a spring and an ink cartridge. The spring is designed to fit between the cartridge and the bottom of the barrel, to keep it nicely in place. You can fit standard pattern cartridges and converters if you want to, but as they are smaller than TWSBI ones, the spring will not fill the void. It won't matter, but it won't look as good!
