Description

For your consideration, we are offering for sale this Circa 2018 Pilot Custom Urushi Fountain Pen in Black urushi lacquered ebonite fitted with an 18K Medium Nib. This fountain pen has never seen ink and comes with all the Pilot literature and original inner and outer boxes. I consider this fountain pen to be in Mint Condition.

This Pilot Custom Urushi lacquered ebonite fountain pen was crafted by maki-e artisans (kokkokai) in Japan. It uses the Roiro Urushi technique in solid black and is fitted with a two-tone 18k gold Medium nib in the large #30 size. The pen comes with a Pilot Con-70 converter, and you also can choose to use Pilot ink cartridges. I tested the ink converter with water and fills as one would expect.

Lacquering has been used in Japan for thousands of years. The Pilot Custom Urushi is crafted from Japanese ebonite and lacquered using only pure Urushi lacquer. Similar to their Namiki pens, Pilot employs a lacquering technique called Roiro, which demands significant time and skill to achieve a consistent, mirror-like finish. Each Custom Urushi pen undergoes three rounds of lacquering, curing, and polishing to produce a beautiful, high-quality result.

There are absolutely no nicks, chips, cracks, or repairs to this fountain pen. The cap of this fountain pen displays the gold-plated clip and cap banding. The cap banding is stamped with, "CUSTOM URUSHI PILOT MADE IN JAPAN". The clip is stamped with, "PILOT". The cap and barrel are excellent with the cap always securing tightly to the barrel. There are no monograms or personalizations to either the cap or barrel. This Pilot Custom Urushi fountain pen was manufactured in Japan around February 2018 based on the nib date code. This Pilot Custom Urushi measures 6 1/8" inches in length capped and 7 1/4" inches posted - it is a very large pen. The fountain pen weighs 1.54 ounces.

The NIB is an 18k - #30 size two-tone type with a medium point. The actual fountain pen tipping/iridium measures .73mm when measured using digital calipers. This pen was never inked nor did I ink it only to keep it in New Old Stock condition for the new collector.

The Custom Urushi Fountain Pen from Pilot is a classy and sleek writing instrument - you can use it as an everyday writer or bring it to black-tie events, it will never be out of style.
