Pilot Custom Heritage 91 In Yama Budo

[StyloBug33]

I first saw this pen at the Ohio Pen Show. It wasn't for sale, but someone was showing it around. I loved it! The color is just gorgeous. From what I could discover, the color was designed to match one of their inks: Yama Budo. As I tried to find one, I discovered that they were only sold in Japan. The only way to get one was to find a way to buy one from someone in Japan. I did find one and order one off eBay. Then, I sort of panicked. You see, a few years ago I tried to find a Sailor Sapporo in the Hello Kitty design, and even though I bought one on eBay, it never came. I was afraid the same thing would happen, so I found a seller in Japan on Amazon and ordered second through them. Still convinced I wouldn't get one, I ordered a third. Honestly, I thought I would be lucky if I ever managed to get one. They are not only gorgeous, they are under $100 and have a 14K gold nib. Anyway, I waited, fully expecting to be lucky to even get one. As you can imagine, I didn't get one, I got all three. I'm a happy camper. They really are beautiful, and I don't mind having three of the same pen.

There's also tsukiyo but I still went with the black one because of the bigger nib selection but I bought it from Ito-ya during the tour trip from Japan

But if another trip will be abound a heritage 912 will be a must
