Overview
Pilot Capless Vanishing Blue Carbonesque Point Fountain Pen.
A turned lacquer body with chrome trim. The Capless line opened in 1963 and in 1966 the design took the Okochi Memorial Technology Prize for the invention and for getting it into production. It writes with a Pilot nib in 18k gold rhodium plated, filled by cartridge / converter and a click-action retractable mechanism, with no cap. For reference, with a body 13 mm in diameter. Piece with official Pilot warranty.
The iconic Pilot Vanishing Point fountain pen has a dark carbon blue body with rhodium-plated appointments and features a rhodium-plated 18-karat gold retractable nib. It actuates and retracts with a simple click, a clear sign that innovation still has a place in writing instruments. A Pilot CON-40 converter is included with this pen, as well as a Pilot ink cartridge.

Questions & Answers
Is the nib interchangeable between sizes?
All variants share the same body and only the nib size changes.
What filling system does it use?
It is filled by cartridge / converter; the makers own cartridges or converter are recommended to ensure a proper fit.
Does the nib dry out when there is no cap to close?
No. A shutter inside the head stays closed under spring pressure and the nib pushes it open on the way out, so the nib sits in a sealed chamber whenever it is retracted.
How is the lacquer cared for?
Wipe it with a soft slightly damp cloth, avoiding solvents and abrasive products.
Is the colour uniform across the whole production?
Yes, the lacquer is factory-dyed in the same tone for the entire series.
What warranty does it carry?
It includes 3 years of official Pilot warranty.

I had been drawn to the capless pen and assumed I would buy the matt black version with a medium nib and I’d take it with me to my second home and back home again, a pen that would certainly do my journalling and note taking besides working on my ‘stories’ and writing to friends. I had used a finer nib quite recently and suddenly decided I’d buy the fine nib because for note taking I’d get more on the page and could add notations more easily. Also I thought of getting a yellow one so I didn’t lose it as easily. However the ‘Carbonesque’ caught my eye and when I realised it was a copy of Japanese ‘Kasuri’, a type of tye died ikat fabric, it really made sense because of my textile background. The pen is even better in reality than it is in images and videos I’ve seen. It came remarkably quickly, with a free gift of Visconti pink ink which I’ll use for making annotations in my writing. I’m so delighted I’m unsure whether or not to buy another to ink up in another colour. If not it’s likely to be another pilot pen because the nibs are exquisite. It’s been a joy so far.
Incidentally, because I’m travelling currently, I’m using cartridges, which I may continue to do and fill them with pilot ink. I mainly use black ink and I like the standard Pilot black ink. I think it’s important to say that the unusual clip position isn’t any detriment to me, I am tending to hold the pen higher up than I’ve seen it being held and it fits beautifully into my hand. I love the weight of it, it’s not overly heavy but heavy enough to suit my preference. Fabulous bit of engineering. I was quick to put it on my Instagram feed ‘The Trove Road’ which I use for sharing my recommendations of quality products and services.
Hello George!!
What a joy to read your thoughtful review! Your connection to the Carbonesque’s textile-inspired design makes it even more special—we love how it resonates with your background. It’s fantastic to hear the fine nib suits your note-taking needs and that the pen’s weight and balance feel just right in your hand.
We’re honored you shared it on The Trove Road and love that our Visconti ink gift will add a pop of color to your annotations! Whether you stick with cartridges or explore bottled inks, we’re here to support your writing journey. And if another Pilot pen (or a second capless!) ever calls your name, we’ll be delighted to help.
Safe travels and happy storytelling!!!!

Great pen: I’ve wanted one for years and finally succumbed as a honeymoon present to myself. Absolutely superb service and quick deli every: these guys really do deliver quality as well as great customer service.

Am new to pilot fountain pens and their capless range.Being left-handed I go for broad nibs.The pen is a delight, balanced in the hand (the clip positioning keeps your fingers in place, no slipping-the inky fingers, people). The flow faultless and the nib responsive and smooth. This is an every day addition and totally practical, the click mechanism to reveal the nib makes it secure and understated. But don’t let that fool you; a wonderful writing instrument.
I also want to thank Iguanasell, efficient, what lovely staff. The service logistics at this challenging time, excellent. Most of all, a dreamy range of products, that go beyond festivities. Highly recommended.

Stylo très confortable. Je l'ai acheté pour éviter de trimballer mon Montblanc partout et je ne suis pas déçu. Le mélange chrome et bleu "carbone" est très sympa à la lumière. Très bonne glisse de la plume. Commandé un après midi et reçu le lendemain.

Stylo très beau et agréable, plume souple..
Je n'ai pas réussi à utiliser le convertisseur, donc je me sers de la cartouche fournie, je réessayerai le convertisseur plus tard.
Bonjour, F.C. !
Nous sommes heureux que la souplesse de la plume vous plaise. Pour le convertisseur, n'hésitez pas à nous solliciter si vous avez besoin d'un petit guide ou d'une vidéo explicative ; c'est un coup de main à prendre, mais cela en vaut la peine pour utiliser vos encres préférées.
Profitez bien de votre stylo !
Cordialement,
J
The pen looks even better than the pictures and the Carbonesque lacquer finish has a pleasing texture. Excellent build quality, a nice weight in the hand, and very smooth nib. Medium writes similar to a European medium so consider if that is what you want. The clip does not interfere with how I naturally grip this pen. I prefer to syringe-fill the included converter to get a full ink capacity. Delivery to the UK was very prompt with good tracking, and no additional charges.
Hello, John!
The Carbonesque texture is one of our favorites too! It adds such a unique tactile dimension to the Pilot experience. We are glad the delivery to the UK was hassle-free and that you’ve already found your preferred way to fill it. It sounds like a perfect match for your writing style!
Kind regards,
M
parfait pour le site et pour la livraison

The blue carboneque makes this a stunning looking pen. It writes really well and I have been constantly picking it up and writing with it since I received it. Would highly recommend this pen if you want a stylish writing instrument.
Hello!
The blue carbonesque finish really is something special, isn't it? We're so glad to hear it's not only a stunning writer but also a pen you constantly want to pick up ;).
Best regards,

Tout a était excellent avec Iguana sell!
La qualité de la plume (taille M, j'aimerais un peu plus fine maintenant que je l'ai essayé, peut-être mais pas sure), le prix et la livraison super rapide avec FedEx en 24h me garderont cliente fidèle :)
Et je trouve l'idée de capeless très ingénieuse, bein meilleure pour ceux qui utilisent leur stylo plume tous les jours. Oh, peut-être, ce serait sympa d'avoir la possibilité d'un emballage cadeau.

très bon investissement correspondant à mon attente
