The Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen in Blue Carbonesque unites everyday practicality with refined Japanese engineering. Its signature push-button mechanism reveals an 18k gold nib in a single click, while the glossy carbonesque pattern and gold accents offer a modern, understated elegance.
Craftsmanship & Design
A tactile carbonesque pattern sits beneath a high-gloss lacquer, giving depth and visual texture without the weight of woven carbon fiber. The clip is positioned near the nib to promote a consistent grip and prevents the pen from rolling on a desk. An internal shutter seals the tip when retracted to help resist dry-out, making this retractable fountain pen a confident companion for on-the-go notes and daily journaling.
Writing Experience
The 18k gold nib delivers smooth, reliable performance with a touch of softness that rewards a light hand. A quick click brings the nib to the page with no cap to remove, encouraging spontaneous ideas and clean, one-handed operation. The balanced metal body feels composed in the hand, and the pen uses Pilot's proprietary cartridge/converter system for flexible, fuss-free refilling.

I purchased this pen from Truphae at the Orlando Pen Show in a M nib. I am so pleased with the pen. It is very smooth, writes effortlessly, and is good for long sessions of writing. I highly recommend this pen. You won't be disappointed.
Very pleased with Pilot Namiki Vanishing Point Wors all, practical and functional.
Super reliable. Excellent communication! Buy with confidence. A+++++++
Excellent service
The pen is exactly what I wanted, with the nib I wanted, too. Truphae accomodated my request for an F nib by receiving one and then shipping me that exact one. It writes better than expected. Highly recommend Truphae and the VP pen.
