Vanishing Point

Brilliant design and ingenious engineering combine in the refined, elegant style of the world’s first and favorite retractable fountain pen — the Vanishing Point by Pilot. The internal mechanism of this exceptionally crafted fountain pen allows the 18-karat gold nib to retract fully into the barrel when not in use.

Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink

Refill your Pilot Fine Writing fountain pen with our Iroshizuku inks. The name “Iroshizuku” is a combination of the Japanese words “Iro" (coloring), expressing high standards and variation of colors, and “Shizuku" (droplet), that embodies the very image of dripping water. Each ink name derives from the expressions of beautiful Japanese natural landscapes and plants, all of which contribute to the depth of each individual hue.

So smooth and easy. Normally after a half a page of writing my fingers and thumb start going pins and needles and numb. After four and a half pages of writing with this Pilot Metropolitan in Black with Medium Nib my hand is only tired (because whose hand wouldn’t be after four and a half pages?).I got exactly what I ordered (though I wasn’t sure what type of con I’d get, but more on that later), it was exactly on time, in perfect condition, and carefully packed. All parts accounted for: screw apart pen plus cap, ink cartridge, and converter in a padded case - and working properly. It even came with a small instruction page.I am not super crazy about the squeezy (elongated rubber tube in metal case) converter style, but it holds puh-lenty of ink and is not terribly difficult to refill, attach, remove, and rinse out. I also wouldn’t have minded if more of the pen was metal, but geez, for $15 this is an astounding amount of pen!I intend to buy some nice coloured ink to put in the pen in the near future, and maybe later buy some different converter types to see if I will actually like them any better.Truly. I love to write with this pen, and I think you will too. No need to buy an expensive brand name fountain pen. Just buy this one!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Pen for Beginners and Enthusiasts Alike!
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2020
This was my first fountain pen, and even after adding a Twisbi Eco and 580, LAMY Safari and Monteverde Invincia, this is still my go-to pen for taking notes. I work full time running a print shop (GREAT for pen enthusiasts, so many types of paper!) and this little guy sees a lot of action there. However, I typically carry a pen with a bigger nib there, as I’m typically writing much larger things. This pen excels writing notes at home however. I also go to school for Computer Science online, and this pen is FANTASTIC for marathon writing sessions, especially ones that require a lot of detail. I do a lot of math, and typically physically write a lot of very small, very organized code. And the detail this pen can achieve is phenomenal! With a decent ink (platinum carbon black) on even cheap graph paper, the lines do not bleed, and dry in less that three seconds. Really the perfect note taking set up. For reference, I have the medium nib, full black variant. Here’s the bottom line. BUY IT. It’s a fantastic pen, and at this price, you’re getting totally screwed if you don’t own at least one.
