In this video, I am unboxing the new Asvine J16 Ebonite Fountain Pen! I already own one of the titanium versions of this pen, and I based off of how well it has performed, I am sure that the ebonite version will be just as welcome of an addition to the pen collection. Known for its classic ebonite material and robust piston-filling mechanism, the J16 is making waves in the pen community. I show the unboxing, first till with some Sailor Japan exclusive ink, and do an initial writing test.

Do you own one of the J16? Leave me some comments and let me know how it has been working for you so far. I love what I see from the first impression, but would love to hear from people who have already been using it for a while.
