The TWSBI Obsidian Fountain Pen combines reliable engineering with an elegant, modern aesthetic, making it an excellent choice for both everyday writers and pen enthusiasts. Featuring a smooth piston-filling mechanism and a clear ink window, this pen allows you to monitor your ink level at any time—perfect for long writing sessions or on-the-go creativity.

Its standout feature is the dark marbled resin body, inspired by the depth and mystery of natural obsidian stone. The subtle, swirling pattern adds a sophisticated touch while preserving the functional clarity and durability TWSBI is known for. Designed for comfort, balance, and consistent ink flow, the TWSBI Obsidian is a dependable writing companion for journaling, note-taking, and creative projects.

Every detail matters. The pen cap fits seamlessly onto the back of the barrel, but we recommend keeping it off during use to preserve the pristine finish of your Obsidian.

This is a limited edition release that won't be produced again. When they're gone, they're gone forever. We are officially accepting pre-orders on December 21st - this item launches on December 23rd.
