Pilot Capless Fountain Pen Graphite Black

The first retractable fountain pen in the world! A unique design that allows the 18k gold nib and ink reservoir to be fully retracted at the click of a button (in much the same way as most ball pens). In carbon-fibre effect with rhodium-plated trim.

Key Facts:

• 18k gold nib
• Supplied with a con-40 converter (to use bottled ink) and a black cartridge
• Cartridge cover included for use when using cartridges instead of the converter.
• Please note that the nibs on these pens are more narrow than most. Therefore, if you want a fine point order a medium etc.
• Pilot cartridges are available on our website
• This pen is also known as the "Vanishing Point" in some markets, either as Pilot or Namiki

Nib choices for fountain pens
If we show the pen with the default nib selection shown in stock it means we have stock of that pen. If you select another nib size and the website doesn't say "in stock" we can usually supply that pen immediately as we keep extensive supplies of nibs from all our manufacturers.
