Help Identifying Pilot Vanishing Point
blackfinger posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First Stop
Hello, everyone I just bought this pilot vanishing point (almost brand new) and I have some doubts about the model. Is that a regular (the thicker one) or the decimo? The tag on the pen says decimo, but the pen looks fatter than the other ones I saw online :/

Hello everyone I am hoping to sell an unused black Pilot Vanishing Point fp that has been sitting around unopened in my cupboard for awhile, but as I prepared it for sale, I noticed there is no little paper manual in the box.

Good day, all. I've had my Pilot Vanishing Point #1 (brown, steel/rhodium ? medium nib) for almost 2 years now. It's always been quite the workhorse and never gave me problems until recently. I've run PR Chocolat, Chesterfield Archival (IG), and Noodler's 54th through it, as those are my only i...

Hey, all! I was lucky enough to secure an order today for Pilot's Twilight LE Vanishing Point (Goulet Pens just restocked, for those looking to get one). I have smaller hands, so it's really important that my pens be relatively slim and light (my Pilot Metropolitan is almost a bit too wide and heavy...

Among all new pens, ignoring marketing b.s. (example MBs) and ignoring heavily ornamented pens (diamond encrusted, intricately decorated: Dunhill-Namiki Sakura Rose), which pens do you think really demonstrate a technical achievement in pen technology?

Hi, Do you own a Pilot Vanishing Point? If so, I'm hoping you could shed some light on this subject. How is the nib on the VP? Does it dry out? How much flex does it have? Some say that it is too small. Is that true? Thanks for your feedback. Best, Yuzuki

I just came back from Korea last night and was sooo excited to find this at home : My Pilot Vanishing Point pen has arrived! I ordered it from Classic Fountain Pens (www.nibs.com), and they have been really helpful, especially John and Christina. Upon ordering, we are required to fill in a...

Purchased my first Japanese fountain pen yesterday, a Pilot Vanishing Point with a fine nib. Used it last night to take notes at the Washington Calligrapher's Guild meeting and I just loved writing with it. Will be in daily use from now on. ETA: The ceramic figue is 19th century Japanese sc...
