The Pilot Vanishing Point Fountain Pen - Matte Blue brings Pilot's signature retractable design to a sleek, everyday companion. Its push-button mechanism reveals and protects the nib in one motion, keeping ink ready without a cap to remove. The matte blue finish feels refined in hand, while the metal body offers reassuring durability for daily carry.
Craftsmanship & Design
Built for clean, one-handed operation, the Vanishing Point uses a precise internal shutter to seal the nib when retracted, helping prevent dry-out between uses. The clip sits near the writing end, guiding a steady grip and keeping the pen secure in a pocket or notebook. Subtle, dark accents complement the understated matte surface for a modern, unobtrusive look.
Writing Experience
The retractable 18k gold nib delivers smooth, dependable flow with a touch of feedback that suits notes, lists, and longer journal sessions alike. Quick starts, consistent lines, and balanced weight make it an easy reach for meetings and on-the-go writing. Compatible with Pilot cartridges or a converter, it adapts seamlessly to your ink preferences.

This was a gift for my wonderful son-in-law … and he loves!!! 😊
Thanks to Chris at Truphae. Always a pleasure to support his business.
Now, This is my first gold nib pen, and it doesn’t disappoint. The big thing everyone asks about: does the clip bother my hand? No. For me, it’s fine. However, it depends on how you write. I know it bothers other people. The only thing I want to make note of is the nib size. The medium I tried elsewhere was way too thick. This VP fine writes like a European fine. It is about the thickness of my Pilot Metropolitan medium, however. Just some food for thought if those nib sizes are the ones you’re thinking about.
Thank you !
