For and against
- Genuine ebonite / stabilised wood, not resin pretending
- Oversize #8 nib
- Each barrel differs
- ~$145 puts it against serious competition
- Converter fill at flagship money
- Barely reviewed independently
Material-led flagship; the appeal is the barrel, not the mechanism.
What owners say
Oh wow, that material is gorgeous ✨ I have really enjoyed Asvine's #8 stub on my C80, but I might have to upgrade to the C2000. r/fountainpens · 4 pts · thread
A loose no.8 Hongdian nib from A9 mounted in this C2000 would be really great. Too bad they are not selling them independently. r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread
I think so it's plastic, but it's very effective, I can use shimmer inks on C2000 fine nib with no problems. r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread
I got a c2000 in the blue oasis colour and was genuinely shocked how nice it was for the price, really nice big soft nib and feels really decent quality all around. Only tiny thing i didnt like so much was the clip but thats just a point of personal preference!! I also picked up an Asvine P36 and that is also extremely good value for money, been really impressed with Asvine so far for a cheaper option. r/fountainpens · 2 pts · thread
