Typically when using a fountain pen, I grip the pen closer to the nib than maybe I'd ought to leaving the tell-tale signs of writing stained on my fingers. With this pen, there's no chance of ink stain because the nib is shielded from any grip mishaps. Though the ink sac is small, I find that it is enough to take several pages of notes over the course of about two-three days. Part of owning a fountain pen is the small joy of refilling it. I haven't tried using the cartridge that came with it as I prefer to draw my ink from a bottle.
The quality of the pen seems to be pretty nice. Though the barrel doesn't exactly feel high-end, it is definitely sturdy and well made. The nib is firm but with enough flex. Some reviews that I've read about this pen made it seem that if you've got a firm hand when writing this pen might not be for you. I don't think that I accurate. Granted I don't try to poke holes in the pages when I write, I do find that this pen is firm enough for just about any type of handwriting style. I have not had any slips or dry spots on the page either even when writing softer or more firmly than I normally would.
I would buy this pen again.
Mechanically, the Vanishing Point is amazing. The engineering is flawless and works with a solid feel that inspires confidence that this pen will serve me well for a lifetime. And as it turns out, it also looks like a work of modern art as an added bonus. The rhodium accents are beautiful and the Carbonesque pattern on the barrel is striking, lending a subtle feel of texture to the grip.
My only complaint is with the delivery. The ink cartridge included with the pen exploded in transit and sent ink all over the inside of the case. Fortunately, the pen was not affected and the Vanishing Point comes with a converter so I am able to use bottled ink.
The twist converter draws ink into the pen easily and with no inky fingers afterward. A quick wipe of the nib and I was back in business.
I would recommend this pen to anyone who is looking to "kick it up a notch", especially if you're got a little bit of fountain pen experience and are hesitating to invest in a more expensive pen. This one is well worth the price!
SIMPLY A GREAT PEN
Laquer coated brass body feels well balanced and solid, but not heavy, Click-to-write mechanism is efficient, fast, foolproof.
A flick of your thumb and the Vanishing Point generates a “click” that’s audible and tactile, while deploying the hidden nib. Your fingers, naturally aligns with the pocket clip and nib in the perfect position to jot quick notes without even needing to glance at the page. Rhodium accents and nib coating paired with a piano black lacquer body create a look that’s classic, elegant, and understated while also being modern and eye-catching.
Ink never fails to flow smoothly and keeps up even with fast, lengthy note taking. Extra Fine nib in rhodium plated 14k gold is smooth, with a pleasant touch of feedback, and a variation of line that’s surprising for such a tiny, precise nib.
MY ONLY COMPLAINT?- the provided Pilot Con 40
Converter’s ink capacity is minuscule to the point that I almost prefer cartridges— almost.
Still, the pen is highly recommend!

La marca Pilot-Namiki es una empresa que tiene muchos años fabricando instrumentos de escritura y saben lo que hacen. Me encanto el color que no es sólido, es un azul metálico con un patrón muy cautivador que se asemeja bastante a la fibra de carbono, muy brillante, y el material es de un metal lacado que para manda la hace sentirse como una pluma barata. No tengo nada malo que decir de ella, todo funciona. El plumin es de oro de 14k bastante suave y flexible A la hora de escribir. La compre en un “B” japonés que se prevé más a un “M” europeo, pero en realidad es un poco más grueso de lo que te hacen suponer en los vídeos de YouTube, mucho más parecido a grueso de marcas alemanas. Es una pluma muy húmeda y con un flujo excelente que hace resaltar las propiedades de cualquier tinta (sheen, shimmer, shading, etc). El funcionamiento de click es fácil de usar y muy satisfactorio al escucharlo. Trae un cartucho de tinta azul y ya viene adentro integrado un convertidor (que es el CON-40). La capacidad del convertidor es un poco más pequeña que los convertidores internacionales pero nunca se me ha agotado en el trabajo. La marca ha fabricado una obra de arte, que en su interior cuenta con un sistema fácil de acceder y muy efectivo a la hora de trabajar, que además te brinda mucha facilidad para limpiarlo, o reemplazar sus partes a la hora de decidir probar otro tamaño de plumin. Al escribir no te afecta en nada el Clíp el cual se encuentra del lado del plumin para evitar que haya salida de tinta al colocarla en la camisa (Muy bien pensado).
Así que como leen, esta es una pluma excelente, tan buena que acaban de pedir una Pilot Custom Heritage 823, ya que con la sorpresa que me lleve usando esta pluma fuente (la cual es de hecho uno de sus modelos más asequibles y podría considerarse una pluma de entrada a los plumones de oro por ser de las más baratas), no puedo esperar a probar las caras y ver qué encuentro con una de las plumas más Icónicas de la compañía, un deleite de seguro. Así que date ese gusto amig@, y disfruta de una de las mejores obras de arte que pudo haber creado la compañía.
