    For example, when uncapping or capping the pen and the nib slides or hit/bumped the cap or any metal part of it, say clip; hitting the bottom or side of ink bottle; the screen of laptop; accidentally letting the pen roll over the desk and bumping into something; does this damages the nib? I have hea...

    Hi! I have just bought a Pilot Custom 823. It seems to be packaged inside of Decimo/Vanishing Point box with cartridge and manual for a C/C pen. Do you think I got a fake pen? Or it is normal for suppliers/retailers to just put the pen/mistakenly put it in wrong box they like? This is somewhat simil...

    I have a Pilot Custom 823 Medium nib currently inked with Iroshizuku Asa Gao, does it have a little feedback? Or it is totally frictionless with no feedback at all? The pen is very buttery in terms of smoothness, the feedback is like a very soft pencil lead, akin to Uni's soft lead.

    Is it normal for a brand new pilot Custom 823 to have residue inside of the barrel like these? The residue is clear and persistent despite washing with water and soap.

    Hi, I just got an Asvine V126. It is a vacuum filler and almost exactly the same size and shape as the Pilot Custom 823 which is so expensive. The big difference is the blue frosted acrylic material the pen is made out of, and of course it just has a steel nib rather than the Custom 8...

    I've been trying to find an ink that would best complement my Pilot Custom 823 Amber <m> both in terms of color aesthetics and usability. I've used Iroshizuku take-sumi (bamboo charcoal black), Tsukushi (horsetail brown), J. Herbin Lie de Thé, Diamine Oxblood, KWZ Honey...and while some were really...

    Hello, All. I've had my Pilot Custom 823 for about a month now, and I love it. It writes beautifully and I've only ever inked it with one type of ink: Pilot Irushizuko take-sumi (black). Earlier today though, I inked it up again for a long writing stint..and it started to feel clogged and not s...

    I just want to share my initial experience with the replacement ebonite feed for the Pilot Custom 823 and 743 I purchased from Flexible Nib Factory. The one I got is a black ebonite feed with the “2 Slit Ink Slot.” Attached photo is a top view of the said feed, showing the two “ink slots” or ink fis...

    The Pilot Custom 823 has been my grail since long and I finally got one last year as a high school graduation present. Now, this review might seem heavily biased, but I assure you that isn’t the case. This truly is a perfect pen for me and I can find NO faults with it, whatsoever. That being said, h...

    (For those that quickly want to know how I feel about this pen: scroll to the last paragraph. If you have a few minutes and would like to read about my journey, read on!) Compared to things like violins, pianos, paintings, vintage cars or yaghts, fountain pens make for a relatively cheap hobby. Th...

    Pilot Custom 823 Nib And Related

    Aditkamath26 posted a topic in Japan - Asia

    Hello pen people. I am posting this in dire need of advice. I might buy a Pilot Custom 823 next week or so from the Nibsmith. I am not convinced on the nib size. I am either going for a fine nib or a medium ground to a medium-fine according to Sailors mf width. Can anyone say how the fine nib compar...

    Pilot Custom 823 Fine

    m_osman posted a topic in Japan - Asia

    I am fairly new to fountain pens with a limited experience. Thus my experience only reflect my opinion. I was ready a lot of rave reviews about the pilot custom 823 watching a lot of videos as well. I kept an eye for this pen for sometime, and finally purchased it, i wanted something that can writ...

    This pen has been on my radar for a long time. I write a lot, and so have been considering investing in a pen that I would enjoy writing a lot with. I'd caught Neil Gaiman mentioning it on Twitter as a pen that he uses pretty exclusively for book signings which, for him, must be pretty exhausting an...

    Hello all, I am having trouble deciding on my next purchase. After going through a rabid acquisition phase where quantity mattered over quality, I am now branching out more into expensive pens. Well, expensive for me. I recently bought a Pilot CH 91 in Soft Fine and I love it. The nib is sw...

    Numbers On Pilot Custom 823 Nib

    Aetheric Continua posted a topic in Japan - Asia

    Hello, all! I finally received my Pilot Custom 823 <M> today and I'm super excited. Haven't been able to ink it up yet, as I'm currently at work. So I'm spending (probably an abnormal amount of) time looking at every detail of this beautiful writing instrument. On the nib, I understand that "1...

    Pilot 823 With Flex Mod

    Uncial posted a topic in Japan - Asia

    Sorry if this has been done to death before, but I did a search and couldn't bring anything up on it. Has anyone tried the custom 823 with the flex mod? I've seen them for sale on ebay and they tend to be the same price as the normal ones. The mod looks like it is the same as that recommended for th...

    Greetings all, Glad to join the pen community online. I'm relatively new to the hobby and have an 823 newbie question. I'm going to be away from my new Custom 823 for about three weeks and it's inked up with take-sumi Iroshizuku (so far my favorite combination ever.) Given the nature of the ink,...
