TWSBI Eco Fountain Pen - Irish Green with Onyx
A deeper green that feels capable
The TWSBI Eco Irish Green takes the reliable Eco platform and shifts the mood completely. The darker green resin and black Onyx trim give it a more grounded, mature feel, somewhere between forest green and old drafting tools. Still the same dependable piston filler underneath, just with a colour way that feels more focused and composed.
What sets it apart
- Dark Irish green with black trim for a more mature feel
- Reliable piston filler with high ink capacity for long writing sessions
- Crystal clear barrel lets you keep track of ink level and movement
- Smooth steel nib that handles fast everyday writing well
- Feels more understated than brighter Eco colour ways
Feel in the hand
It gets out of the way once you start writing. The darker green and black trim make the pen feel calmer and more focused than the brighter Ecos, especially when paired with earthy inks or cream paper.

Yes, but it meaningfully changes the feel, making it more grounded and less reflective
Is it good for beginners?
Yes. It’s one of the most forgiving piston fillers in its category
Does it require special maintenance?
Only basic flushing with water. Full disassembly is only required occasional to regrease the piston if it becomes stiff
